What to know

critics consensus

Though Lillard is uncannily spot-on as Shaggy, Scooby Doo is a tired live-action update, filled with lame jokes. Read critic reviews

Audience Reviews for Scooby-Doo

  • Jul 09, 2014
    This live-action Scooby-Doo film is an atrocity beyond imagination. Hanna-Barbera should be ashamed for allowing this garbage to be made. That said, the casting actually isn't that bad (Freddie Prinze Jr. as Fred, Sarah Michelle Gellar as Daphne, Matthew Lillard as Shaggy, etc.), however the performances are piss-poor. But then again, the dialog is terrible. In fact, all of the writing is terrible and betrays everything that the Scooby-Doo cartoon was. Yet, it's the abysmal special effects that damn this film more than anything else. The CGI monsters, and Scooby-Doo himself, stick out like a sore thumb and have hardly any depth or texture to them. A textbook case of bad filmmaking, Scooby-Doo is all kinds of wrong.

    I must admit that I really enjoyed it, Faithfull to the cartoons and the cast look great, Scooby looks pretty good and I did laugh a few times, Kids will love it, Deserves more credit.

    It might have a few clever scenes (particularly the haunted house one), but Scooby-Doo is mostly a dull, unfunny, and ugly film that kids will find very gruesome and violent. Overall Rating: 17

    A really, really, really bad movie. It was just painful to watch - I feel bad for the actors that agreed to be in this movie. Luckily, for the most part, they've lived past it!
