Scooby-Doo

The live action version of Scooby Doo took me by surprise with how much fun I found it, I really did enjoy the entire cast (especially Shaggy and Scooby) and it's perfect for children. The great Rowan Atkinson even has a role! Plot wise it stands up fairly well too, they'd obviously put some effort into the story and film sets which are quite creatively located on a Halloween-esque theme park. I won't spoil much of the film, but it's a whole lot of fun. The ending was not the greatest in my opinion, but it was definitely unexpected.

I feel like a lot of the negative reviews are unfair, some of the jokes are overly childish and don't land and maybe Sarah Michelle Gellar plays her role a little too much like Buffy instead of Daphne but even these critisms are mild to me. The CGI for Scooby holds up very well for a 21 year old film as well.

7/10: It's good, kids will love it and there's more than enough content for adults and fans of the original series to enjoy too!
