Hello and welcome to one of the best movies of my childhood. Scooby-Doo and Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed are the best live action Scooby Doo movies and I will take that to my grave. In fact, put that statement on my headstone, please and thank.
Scooby-Doo was and will always be a staple in my house. The original series, the series with Scooby-Dum, Scooby-Dee, and Scrappy-Doo, and the animated movies. So, I'm an old Scooby pro and this movie made my dreams come true.
This movie is sneaky enough with it's humor to be funny as a child or adult, the villain plot twist flipped my world upside down, man. The actors were my childhood heroes. This movie is perfection.
As a child when I first got the DVD, I played it so much that it stopped working and we had to buy extra copies in case I broke them again. (I did.) Anyways, watch this movie, thanks, bye.

This atrocity had all the potential needed.The budget exceeded $45 million, the costumes were as close to their source material as they could get (Granted, Daphne's costume was inaccurate, but that was probably the best they could do.), and the original theme tune was used.Unfortunately, Matthew Lillard playing Shaggy for the first time is the only significant thing this movie has going for it as he was the only cast member who was even trying. It's a miracle he's improved on his pathetic performance in this flick.The rest comes off as dark, boring, and disturbingly offensive. Episode II of Star Wars was released the same year as this disaster, but that movie was better without question. It didn't have a guy going into a girl's body and saying joyfully, "I can look at myself naked." That line is so perverted that not only am I ashamed to think about it myself, but it also undeniably makes this movie at least 1 trillion worse than the Star Wars prequels put together.

Upon discovering this on IMDb i was disgusted! 4.9!? What an outrage! OK so maybe it's no shawshank but for a kids movie It's pretty enjoyable and as this was a childhood favorite of mine i felt it was my duty to defend it (along with it's sequel). Now as much as this film hits me with nostalgia i know it's not the only factor that makes me love this film. I re-watched part of spy kids 2 recently (which was another childhood fave of mine) and thought it was complete trash. I didn't feel this way about scoobs. The film does more than take a mediocre cartoon and and put real actors in it, if anything i would say the film is a parody of the show like the Brady bunch movie (though not to as much of an extent). It shows us mystery inc in today's environment and it makes them real adults. The film is genuinely funny to with plenty of adult humor (smoke pouring from the van while playing Rasta music only to be revealed as shaggy and scooby cooking was great) and all the slapstick humor isn't overly cringey. The casting is amazing, particularly for shaggy and velma. Fred does come off as a bit douchey though and scooby can sometimes get annoying. The climax is admittedly pretty awful and the films is packed with corny moments but i would be lying if i didn't say i loved it. I'm not saying this deserves to be 10/10 and i can understand why people don't like it but i don't think it deserves so much hate either. 7 zoinks out of jinkies. The sequel is better though.

Why did this movie get made? How much money could this movie have possibly ever made to warrant it's production and release? Whom are the villains so enamored with feces that they wanted to make THIS movie? Don't you ever think about it? Don't you ever wonder 'what are the dark insidious forces that collude daily to ensure and enshrine mediocrity?' Are you telling me the world makes things like the Nazi party or this movie or global poverty, and you don't f*cking question it? All that misery, it's gotta spring up from somewhere, it doesn't just magically appear- and what, you don't f*cking notice? Don't f*cking care? Goddamn f*cking soul-crushing f*cking bastards.
