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!!

Scooby doo is full of action packed scenes and entertaining characters. The cgi was ok. This movie brings back so much memories and is full of nostalgia.

It had funny moments and a ok story. The story was entertaining, but it was very predictable. The movie had a couple good jokes, but some were actually disgusting. I thought the CGI Scooby, looked not that good. It wasn't good, but not bad either.

The villains were horrible, the ending felt forced, there were too many fart jokes, and they tried to make too many jokes that are innapropriate for little kids but that they wouldn't understand, that were there for adults only. Shaggy and Velma actually felt pretty spot-on, characterization and visual-wise, but, Fred and Daphne were off. Fred was arrogant, and Daphne was whiney, which just didn't feel right for either of them. It's sort of a fun movie, but, it has a lot of failed moments and feels like wasted potential.… Expand

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
