Legend of The Vampire isn't that bad, but it is a departure from the previous Scooby Doo movies, despite the clever references to Witch's Ghost and Cyber Chase. On its own merit, it is serviceable, compensated by the high-calibre voice cast, particularly Casey Kasem, and the surprisingly good animation. The script wasn't too bad if lacking in laughs at times, and the villains were good, if a little obvious at the end. It was lovely to see the Hex Girls back, and I liked Australia and the soundtrack, I love Witch's Ghost, and it is still my personal favourite of the Scooby Doo movies. Where Legend of the Vampire was lacking was with its rather formulaic plotting, the unusually slow pacing and the fact that despite the references to other Scooby movies, and the original series, it is a departure from the Scooby Doo we have come to know and love, and the ending was disappointing. Overall, despite the failings, it is serviceable entertainment, and certainly watchable. 6/10 Bethany Cox

I have to ask myself why do we get these classic cartoons and try to update them. What we have here is a stretched put episode of Scooby Doo which on its own would not be too bad, it is just when they try to modernise them that it fails to work and I for one can not see the sense in it. Surely from a quality and economic point of view it would just be better to shot kids the clearly superior originals (pre Scrappy obviously). Anyway the premise here is that the crew are holidaying in Australia and are due to go to The Vampire Rock Festival. As one would guess a mystery becomes apparent that the kids have to solve. Now the classic Scooby elements work well but where it goes wrong is when the try to bring it up to date with the gay references and the rock music (but still incredibly keep Fred in a cravat). This frankly does not work and would have been best left alone. I have seen worse updates of classics but still I would avoid this and stick to the originals.

i wasn't overly impressed with this Scooby-Doo adventure.i found it fairly slow for the most part.i also didn't think the story was really very interesting.it just wasn't very developed,even by most animated Scooby adventures.there is also not much air of mystery in this one.i do like Scooby-Doo animated movies and i have seen some pretty good ones.this one ranks lower on the scale than most that i have seen.but there is a bit of good news.there are a few funny moments.unfortunately i didn't' think there were enough of them.this movie is just over 70 minutes,including end credits,but it seemed like a lot longer to me.i guess this movie is average at best.for me,Scooby-Doo!And the Legend of the Vampire gets a 5/10

This was definitely a step backwards after two very good outings with Alien Invaders and Cyberchase. The problems I had with this one were:1.) The group has reverted to their old van and clothing. Why? It really makes things looked dated.2.) They need to get Innes back for Scooby. I think they knew the guy doing the voice this time didn't match well, because Scooby doesn't say a lot in this movie.3.) Maybe it was just me, but the animation seemed to have dropped a notch in quality.4.) The music was disappointing.Hopefully the next release returns to the previously successful formula.
