Not as good as original, but keeps you interested
I am not the biggest fan of the live action remakes of cartoons. I was completely disappointed with the big budget version of Scooby Doo on the big screen, but was very happy with the Scooby Doo: They Mystery Begins made for TV reboot. So I went into this with high expectations as I suspect other did, and this did not live up to those lofty goals. The first was extremely well done (better as I said than the ones done with much bigger budgets), so this had big shoes to fill, and as is the case many times with sequels, it just couldn't live up to it. That being said, it wasn't as awful as some would lead you to believe either.
Despite a mediocre script and some cheesy things that I can only assume were done for budget constrains, the cast was again excellent and true in their portrayal of their characters. The standard Scooby Doo humor and homage gags are there, though not in as much abundance as the first one.
At $14.99 I think the price is a bit steep and...
Not too bad, but could have been better...
I bought this for my 4 year old daughter who is a HUGE Scooby fan. However, Scooby's scenes are limited. My daughter kept asking "Where is Scooby?" during most of the movie.
The good point is the movie is more in line with the cartoon, which I like. There are many scenes that resemble the cartoon such as Scooby hiding inside something tiny and the running between lot of doors in a hall while chasing the villian.
Nick Palatas is my favorite Shaggy. Needless to say, he was even more funny in this one than the other Scooby movie he played in.
Overall, I give it 4 stars. Could have been a little better by putting more scenes with Scooby.
Scooby, Loved by children
My 5 year old loves this movie and will watch it over and over. He likes movies that are a little scary and creepy. This movie is not that scary, but does have a monster which is all he needs. I give it 3 stars but my son would give it 5.
