Scooby-Doo – The Movie [HD DVD] “I would’ve gotten away with it if weren’t for you meddling kids!” Equal parts remake and spoof, this tongue-in-cheek live-action resurrection finds the old Saturday-morning-cartoon gang reunited to investigate the zombie teens of a haunted amusement park. Frantic action and big-screen special effects stand in for logic, but for a while it makes for a spirited send-up. Freddie Prinze Jr., under a blond hairdo and an ascot, turns Fred into a preening pretty boy, and Sarah Michelle Gellar plays with her own Buffy image as eternal damsel-in-distress Daphne (in magenta mini-dress and maxi-boots, no less), but this show belongs to gangly Matthew Lillard, who is the adenoidal beatnik Shaggy. His loyal-to-the-end friendship with the computer-animated Scooby-Doo is the most convincing relationship in the whole two-dimensional goof. Some of the supernatural nasties may be scary for young kids and the humor careens from winking self-awareness to Scooby doo-doo gags, but otherwise this is as harmless as a Saturday-morning chapter and as substantial as a Scooby snack. –Sean Axmaker
Customer Review: Waste of celluloid
If I could give this movie zero stars I would! Thank God somebody gave this to us. Those of you who have given it five stars must have been payed to do so. While enduring the torture of watching this crap-fest I was left pondering several points. First, did someone loose a bet? Second, did the director cash in every favor he was owed? And lastly how did they manage to make Freddy Prinzes hair look blonde instead of orange? Parents beware! This movie is comprized mainly with toilet humor. Do not be suprized when (after the umpteenth viewing) you hear your child shout to their sibling, “No, your mom eats cat poop!” Blessedly, mine have lost interest and now watch better things (with a little help from me!).
Customer Review: Scooby-Doo Blu-Ray Version
I bought the Blu-Ray version because it was a reasonable price and I already had a full-screen copy of the DVD that drove me nuts to watch on a widescreen TV. This pretty much says I already enjoyed the flick. It’s mindless and fun, and that’s what makes it entertaining.

There is definitely better picture quality with the Blu-Ray version when compared to the standard DVD. There is far more pixelating in the standard DVD that is non-existent in the Blu-Ray version. But, the Blu-Ray version is not as flawless as it should be. Any flaws existing in the original film at the time of transfer (or flaws created during the transfer itself) will make their way to the high-def disc.

I noticed a lot of very “active” backgrounds in many of the early scenes. So much so, it’s almost distracting. At one point, Shaggy’s green shirt even seems to be “moving”. But, later in the movie, everything looks stable and sharp as Blu-Ray should be. This suggests to me that either the original movie has some flaws, or the there was some kind of issue with the transfer process itself. Maybe there’s some kind of compression going on???

All in all though, for $14 from Amazon, I would still recommend the Blu-Ray version. Just go into it without an image of perfection. Sit back, don’t be critical and enjoy the flick.
