Critic Reviews

Hank Stuever

You don't want to love this, but you will. Although Scooby-Doo falls far short of becoming the "Blazing Saddles" of Generations X, Y and Z, it is hard to resist in its moronic charms. Read full review

Chris Kaltenbach

Bland, inoffensive, formulaic and occasionally amusing - just like the animated kids' show that inspired it.

Joe Leydon

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. Read full review

William Arnold

The film's technological selling point -- having a computer-animated Scooby in a mostly live-action world -- is strangely unimpressive. In fact, it's virtually unnoticeable: a testament perhaps to the audience's increasing knowledge that in today's CG-driven Hollywood, all movies are cartoons. Read full review

Connie Ogle

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

Liam Lacey

Mostly, the plot is busy and incomprehensible and the action sequences directed with all the art of a detonation. Read full review

New Times (L.A.) Robert Wilonsky

Warner Bros. is presumably aiming this movie not at children but at full-grown dopers with bad munchies glued to the Cartoon Network. Dude, pass the Scooby snacks. Read full review

Scooby Doo (2002) saved my life. It brings together the best of comedy, romance & reggae in a UNIQUE BLEND. Rowan Atkinson is at the peak of his career. Every line of it is unadulterated genius.
Hydrocolonic? More like hydro-ICONIC. THANK YOU!!

Pure nostalgia fuel. Not a very good film in the traditional sense, but a very enjoyable guilty pleasure for even this big Scooby-Doo fan. If one thing is for certain, kids will love this movie!

While I never liked scooby doo because of it always being the same thing, this is once again the same thing, so dont expect anything new in a movie like this.

This is probably the best you're going to get attempting a live-action Scooby Doo. It's just not meant to be.

It's not an abomination, but it really is an insult to the TV show that I love so much. I loved Matthew Lillard as Shaggy, though, as he stole every scene he was in. The rest of the cast wasn't as good, the story was lame and only a few of the jokes were funny. Watch the show instead.

Honestly, this movie was decently scary, but not in an entertaining way. It’s scary how this can be called a Scooby doo movie. The only character that looks good is shaggy. Scooby is absolutely horrifying and so are the rest of the team. The jokes are completely inappropriate even for itsHonestly, this movie was decently scary, but not in an entertaining way. It’s scary how this can be called a Scooby doo movie. The only character that looks good is shaggy. Scooby is absolutely horrifying and so are the rest of the team. The jokes are completely inappropriate even for its targeted audience. The plot is so insanely predictable and boring. The villains are incredibly basic and just a overall yawn. Go ahead and watch this if you want to waste your time. Would not recommend.… Expand
