Not much to say about this movie all i can say is this movie is realy BAD

I have been a big fan of Scooby Doo for as long as I can remember. The original series, The Scooby Doo Show and The New Scooby Doo Movies I love, Mystery Incoporated was a pleasant surprise, Shaggy and Scooby Doo:Get a Clue was a disgrace(the only one I hate) and What's New Scooby Doo and 13 Ghosts are growing on me. I have also been pleasantly surprised by most of the animated movies, and the live action ones too. I wanted to like Curse of the Lake Monster but it didn't work for me really. There are some good points, Scooby is very cute, Shaggy is still the likable goof-ball I love and Daphne and especially Velma are spot. I didn't like Fred though(but I actually didn't mind him Mystery Begins), and this is not just because of the appearance, for my liking he wasn't macho or cool enough here. Some of the locations are nice and the soundtrack has this infectious energy. However, the editing is rather sloppy in some scenes, sometimes rather hectic in the more tense moments. Also the writing was weak with one too many gags that tried too hard and failed due to lacklustre timing and insipid dialogue and the story is rushed and predictable with the whole Shaggy and Velma idea absurd and never once believable. None of the support characters struck me as memorable either, and the rest of the acting as well as the direction seemed rather bland for my tastes. All in all, didn't work but not a complete disaster. 4/10 Bethany Cox

Question to the filmmakers first. Did you guys intend on taking a classic that the world has grown up with, and making a plot that involves a ghost instead of a person in a mask, having scooby be violent, pushing the idea of girlfriends WAY too much, and worse of all, having shaggy IN LOVE with Velma? Seriously? And what was with the whole dance stuff at the end? Funny, but what was the point? At any rate, here's another attempt to make a live action film with special effects and base it on classics. Only to change around things and make it completely wrong. Shaggy and Velma? Seriously? The joke with Fred and Daff is just that, a joke people have created. DON'T take a joke and make it become part of the plot. And having scooby become RUDE and mean and cruel is WRONG.But there is some stars I've giving this movie. In this case, at least they tried. There was no swearing to my knowledge. The gang DID solve a mystery. But in the end, this IS cartoon network in 2010, so I'm not surprised it isn't as good as it could have been.

I laughed so hard when I saw this movie, not because the plot itself was particularly funny (it is lighthearted and good for young kids, provided they're not frightened by funny looking frog monsters), but because, having lived in northeastern Ohio most of my life, it was obvious to me that none of it was really true to form. I could believe mutated frog creatures came from Lake Erie (couldn't you? It wasn't suitable for swimming for a while), but let me tell you, the scenery of Southern California is nothing like the scenery around Lake Erie. I could even see a hint of the mountains in the background! The area around Erie is so ridiculously flat, there's no way they could have actually been there. There is a rumor in reality that there is some sort of large sturgeon like creature in the lake, but witches? Not really our thing. Underwater caves? Possible, but I haven't heard of any extensive cave systems. Environmental mistakes aside, moonstones are not sapphire blue. It being a kids movie though, I can let most of that go, and just be amused at yet another reference to the places I grew up. I often wonder if the people who write these things have ever been.As for the plot itself, it was fairly mysterious in Scooby Doo fashion, though I've found that most modern Scooby Doo productions have allowed a little bit of magic to seep into the story, and concentrate way too much on the relationships between the four. I was always under the impression that Fred and Daphne had a thing, though no one really talked about it, and other than that, romance was out of the equation, or had with special characters outside the group. But recently, people keep trying to push Shaggy and Velma together, and (as far as I'm aware) never before this movie and the most recent cartoon series Mystery Incorporated has there even been a hint of attraction between the two. It just seems so... misplaced. And in both productions, the two end up apart for one reason or another, which begs the question, why put them through the awkwardness in the first place?This movie is great for kids as I said, but if you're a Scooby Doo purist, I'm not sure you'll enjoy it.
