    At least the 20 people who saw it with me -- found it hysterically funny. On the other hand, they all seemed pretty stoned.

    Just fast, frenetic and funny enough to amuse both new fans and longtime devotees of the characters who have inspired more than 30 years worth of animated TV episodes and made-for-video features.

    The best thing you can say about Scooby-Doo is that Matthew Lillard makes a really, really good Shaggy.

    Ignore the critics. I had a great time watching this hilarious adaptation of the animated TV series from the late 60s.

    I don't find this film awful, because it manages to create that comic book atmosphere which I like very much. An that dog, Scooby Doo, is made very well by computer. But yes, these jokes just scare you away from this film, not the monsters.… Expand

    Like many others, I enjoyed and liked this film as a kid. But now, as an adult, I can proclaim that this is a true piece of crap. First things first, Matthew Lillard plays the role of Shaggy brilliantly, it's like the dear (alleged) stoner has been brought to life. Shame about everyone else. The other actors play the role as best as they can, but can't overcome this weak script. Scooby and Scrappy look so fake, theres no way anyone would mistake them for real dogs. And of all the villians to bring into the film, why ue none of them and make Scrappy, the most annoying thing about the cartoon, the bloody villian? The plot is nonsensical, the jokes aren't funny at all and the villians are ill concieved. The traps aren't even as good as the cartoons. At least Sarah Michelle Geller gets to kick ass, Buffy style Like the flintsones, alvin and the chipmunks, Garfield and many (MANY) others, a live action film of a cartoon show does not work. Is there any good live action films based on cartoons? Apart from Death Note and Transformers (1st one), I don't think so. (I'd like to hear if you think theres actually any good live action films based on cartoons, just comment) Just shudder in anticipation for the Smurfs movie… Expand
