Audience Reviews for Scooby-Doo! The Mystery Begins

better then expected but surely a film isn't that hard to create about the carton. they seem to think the film needs to be grand

This live action Scooby-Doo film may not have a all star cast but still holds it's own with the other live films. The basic plot has the gang from Scooby-Doo in high school and how they meet and form a group to solve a mystery. The film is campy but is sort of expected with this type of story. The F/X is solid enough. Not as good as the first two films but okay for it's purpose. The cast seemed perfect for their roles. Adults may avoid this film but it was intended for teenagers and kids. Overall a solid film for the kids and the family to enjoy. Or for those die hard Scooby-Doo fans.

I truly enjoyed this movie & hope that there will be a sequel.The only thing I did NOT like is that Freddie always had blonde hair & was never a brunette.

I grew up watching Scooby-Doo and the gang, I've watched the other 2 films with Freddie Prinze, Jr. and Matthew Lillard, so I couldn't pass this one up when I came across it. Not bad, considering I've never heard of the cast and the story stuck close to the original cartoons. The film just shows how the whole gang got together.
