Scooby-Doo: The Movie (Widescreen): Amazon.ca: Sarah Michelle Gellar, Freddie Prinze, Matthew Lillard: DVD

Product Description

Amazon.ca

Le chien le plus peureux de l’histoire de l’animation, Scooby-Doo, comptait parmi les derniers héros animés à n’être pas encore apparu au grand écran. C’est désormais chose faite avec ce long métrage produit par les studios Warner.

Les batailles d’ego ont eu raison de l’agence Mystery et Cie, pour laquelle travaillaient Scooby-Doo et sa bande. Sammy (Matthew Lillard), l’estomac sur pattes, Daphné (Sarah Michelle Gellar), la jolie écervelée, Fred (Freddie Prinze Jr.), le beau gosse imbu de lui-même et Vera (Linda Cardellini), l’intello binoclarde, sont désormais séparés. Lorsque le propriétaire de Spooky Island, croyant son parc d’attractions hanté, les invite individuellement pour résoudre ce mystère, l’amitié reprendra vite le dessus.

Grâce à une assez bonne personnification des héros, Scooby-Doo reste fidèle à un esprit de bande dessinée plutôt sympathique. Le rythme dynamique, les couleurs vives et le climat “surnaturel” rendent ce divertissement tout à fait digeste. En revanche, les effets spéciaux pas toujours réussis (notamment l’animation du personnage de Scooby-Doo) et le formatage pour préadolescent feront sourciller les nostalgiques. Scooby-Doo est à prendre tel quel, au premier degré. --Helen Faradji

4.0 out of 5 stars great harmless fun for the whole family, July 24 2007

This review is from: Scooby-Doo (Widescreen) (DVD)

to me,this is is a fun,harmless film that's fun for the whole family.i really enjoyed it.i don't think it's a cinematic masterpiece,but it's not supposed to be.it's silly of course,but very funny.the casting is good particularly Matthew Lillard,who does a bang on impersonation of "Shaggy".and you cannot go wrong with Linda Cardellini as Velma,who is a good actress and really looks the part.Freddie Prinze Jr. and Sarah Michelle Gellar are good as Fred and Daphne,respectively.Rowan Atkinson also has a small role in the film.much of the comedy in this movie is of the pratfall,physical type,so there are lots of stunts,which i thought were well done.the fight scenes are over the top,and fun.i was also impressed with how well the actors interacted with the CG Scooby Doo.those scenes looked pretty real to me.the ending was different than i expected,in a good way.finally,as far as i know,the movie is pretty faithful to the cartoon.overall,i really enjoyed the movie.it's a pretty entertaining way to kill 88 minutes.

3.0 out of 5 stars Okay at best, but it doesn't beat the original series, July 7 2004

By

(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Scooby Doo: Movie (Full Screen) / Movie (DVD)

"Scooby-Doo" is okay. It's not that great of a film and it's not that bad. As much as I despise him, I have to say that Matthew Lillard does an excellent job as Shaggy. He's the best character in this flick. Linda Cardellini is good as Velma, but she has a couple of lines(ex. "Let's get jinky with it") that are just atrocious. Freddie Prinze, Jr. wasn't necessarily miscast as Fred, but the character was portrayed in a way that doesn't really reflect the character from the original show. Sarah Michelle Gellar was annoying as Daphne. Nevermind the fact that she pulled out the old kung-fu ala "Buffy," she's just not convincing enough in this role. The CGI Scooby was just that, a CGI Scooby. He looks fake, but dogs can't talk either, so I'm okay with that. His character is actually pretty good.

The best part of this film is the opening scene with the Luna ghost. It looked as if it were straight out of the old series. Everything heads south from there. The characters, excepting Shaggy and Scooby, are weightless. The nasties are just plain silly and the jokes resort to sophomoric humor. I'm sure every thirteen year-old boy in the crowd got a laugh from the farting contest between Shaggy and Scooby. A few cuss words were thrown around, and Daphne puts a whipping on a wrestler-type baddie.

Overall, this film works well with kids between the ages of eleven and sixteen. Younger kids MIGHT get scared by the bad guys, and the language can get a little rough for the really young'uns. For us older folks who grew up with the series, it's nice to see Scooby and the gang in a live-action format. However, I feel that this movie tries too hard to make itself appeal to all age groups. I also think that the director should have decided on whether he was making a nostalgic flick, a spoof, or an updated version using potty humor.

It's watchable and somewhat funny, but you might want to rent this one before laying any money down for it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Scooby Dooby Doooooo!, July 1 2004

By

Robin M Goffinet (Richmond, IN United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Scooby-Doo (VHS Tape)

After a classic Scooby Doo mystery being solved, Velma gets tired of Fred always taking the credit for her work and quits the gang. Fred and Daphne follow suite and the now lonely duo of Shaggy and Scooby go off on their own.

About a year or so later, they meet up again at the airport where, unbeknownst to them, they are all invited to the newly opened Spooky Island theme park to solve a mystery. Each person vows to solve the mystery on their own, but once they get to their destination, they realize that they must work together once again to solve the mystery of what is changing the vacationing college students from normal teenagers into zombie type strangers.

Shaggy meets a girl who becomes a sort of love interest and sort of casts Scooby off for his new interest. When Scooby realizes there is more to Shaggy's new friend than meets the eye, Shaggy refuses to listen and causes Scooby to become a willing, but unknown participant in the evil doer's plan to take over the world.

Loaded with great special effects, computer animation and a great cameo starring the puppy everyone loves to hate, Scrappy Doo, this movie is great. The characters all kept the same aspects that made the cartoon great. However, there are some things that kept me from giving this movie 5 stars. In the cartoon, Velma never seemed resentful of Fred always taking the credit, Daphne was more than a spoiled selfish brat, Fred did not act stupid even in the least.

If you enjoyed the old cartoon series, you will surly like this live action movie.
