A good movie ruined by lame pop culture references and political agendas.

@elicx The toxic masculinity comment and Velma being made latina were especially annoying.

@gloom8 To me that line was actually making fun of the term 'toxic masculinity' as a throw away comment. To actually get offended by that is hilarious.

@maybebrendon I'm not offended by it at all, but it did feel extremely out of place. Rest of the movie is good though.

@axonrlp the comment could have been along the line of "games/cartoons makes you violent" and it would have been the same """"joke"""". Can you remind me what races and nationalities each of those characters were again? Cause my knowledge of this particular franchise is limited. I also don't live in US so race issue is a bit vague. For me, Mexican is just nationality, but for you guys it's whole different race? Like If she said that she is French or German instead of Mexican would make no difference to me. What the issue here? Yes and no. Any opinion is inherently political, yes. But in reality is hard to count movies that don't go against the grain as having political agendas. Like movie that has anti-war message is technically political (let's take "1917" as example) but at the same time how many people changed their views because of that movie? Not many if anyone at all, because majority agreed with the message long before seeing "1917". Political movie should actively try change views of the audience on issue in order to be consider political in the first place, **in my opinion**. A movie came out, in US, in 1994 and said that: "same-sex marriage should be legal" - oh yeah it's political agenda. The same movie coming out today has zero political agendas cause the message being reality for half a decade. **TL;DR** Scoob! Doesn't have a political agenda ~~in my opinion~~.

@filmtoaster Well now a Velma show that sounds dumb is coming. Where she is Asian and it only has her. Doesn’t even sound like a mystery.

I have been looking forward to this movie for 2 years but I thought it was average. Firstly, why does every film have to be a superhero movie? A classic Scooby Doo plot of unmasking a bad guy would have done the trick here. One of the things that was great about the original films is that the villains were actually scary. I know he is a Hanna Barbera product, but I'm sorry, [spoiler]Dick Dastardly[/spoiler] is not scary. Second, a lot of the jokes just weren't funny. They obviously tried to appeal to both adults and kids as there were some more 'adult' jokes, but for the most part they just landed flat, which made the film start to get boring. The live action movies struck a much better balance here, with adult humor mixed with jokes for kids. I also thought Scooby talked too much (he seemed to have more dialogue than Freddy, Velma and Daphne, and he's a dog). Overall the voice acting and animation was good, but the writing and plot were a huge let down. Both of the live action films were better and they are 15 years old. Too bad.

Not as retro kitsch chic as the original cartoon, not as tight as modern CGI features and not as self-aware as the the live action films, this is the kind of movie you fall asleep watching and still don't miss anything. :dog::sleeping::confused:
PS Why do they have Scooby speaking better than most of my students, yet he still can't pronounce the first letter of words? WTF!? :person_facepalming_tone2:

A great man once said, "It's a no for me".

On a serious note, why is Simon Cowell in a Scooby-Doo movie? I thought early 2000 references died years ago.

The only redeeming quality in the movie is Jason Isaacs as Dick Dastardly, but that's really it.

Every decision the film makers made for this movie was the absolute worst. The animation was bad and at times looks unpolished. How this new version handles the characters such as the old gang was painfully insulting. The Scooby gang are separated for a massive portion of the movie and we instead focus on this superhero-like story line, because superhero movies are popular right now. The voice acting was pretty terrible and how the movie applies modern technology into the story was straight up embarrassing.

It's a factory-made movie produced by a bunch of old boomers that try so hard to be hip for the modern youth, but it will age like sour milk.

I thought we would get a Scoob movie in the same vein as 'The Peanuts Movie' back in 2015. I guess not.

Typical kids movie with some fun callbacks to the original show. The plot is kinda crazy.

I grew up on Scooby-Doo and the denizens of the Mystery Machine. I grew up on all the Hanana Barbera stuff this movie references including the Laff-A-Lymics and Captain Caveman. So why, if you are going to reference that stuff so much, do you tell your voice talent to ACTIVELY try to sound different than the originals? Matthew Lillard has taken over from Casey Kasem on Shaggy for over a decade now and does the voice perfectly. So they bring in Will Forte who was obviously told to try not to sound like Shaggy? Tracy Morgan was told to do Captain Caveman, but didn't even go near the Captain Caveman yodel? That's literally the only interesting part of the character! And then, Dynomutt...becomes the smart one??? What a mess. Back to the originals for me. 4/10

What on earth did I just watch.... Not only Dick Dastardly is brought in for some reason, to be the main villain, but even one of the Slag brothers makes a special appearance. As part of an entire tribe now. And if that's not enough, there's yet another character (well, two) from yet another series, because ... I dunno. This is a mixer, apparently.

Many elements feel forced, simply put in because they've been staples and as such they've got to be in there. There are a few funny lines, but even those are more of the deconstructive, fourth-wall-breaking ones, because apparently those are needed nowadays. Some of the cast choices are great, but again, more so due to real life references than for anything else.

WTF Simon Cowell!? Is he still relevant? Scooby talks too much. Zero time I laughed during this movie, zero. This was supposed to be a comedy right?
