Scooby Doo : 3 of 5
5.12.2003

I trade a lot of emails with my pal Matt in Japan, and recently he mentioned how much he enjoyed the live action Scooby Doo. I completely avoided this in the theater, because I'm not a big Scooby fan (for some reason it's the only cartoon that I liked in my childhood that bores me now), and because the trailer looked pretty bad. Well, anything is worth a Netflix rental, right? All in all, I had a good time watching the movie. The characters are portrayed fairly accurately, especially Shaggy, who completely steals the show (except when nerdy Velma becomes hot nerdy Velma). The sets are fantastic - Spooky Island is so cool (I'm ready to book my vacation). My biggest complaint is that Scooby himself just looks so weird. The CG character acting is well animated, but his texture just isn't right - I think they should have either gone more cartoony or more realistic, since the middle ground they took just doesn't work for me.
