Critics Consensus

Though Lillard is uncannily spot-on as Shaggy, Scooby Doo is a tired live-action update, filled with lame jokes.

1/4
Even its look is awfully cheesy and clunky, the SFX notwithstanding. Scooby Doo makes Stuart Little seem a Citizen Kane in comparison. Go to Full Review Nell Minow Common Sense Media Dec 28, 2010

Too scary for most kids, too dumb for most teens. Go to Full Review Robert K. Elder Chicago Tribune Jul 20, 2002

Scooby-Doo knows when to take itself seriously and when to laugh at itself -- even if its audience isn't laughing along at every gag. Go to Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand Apr 29, 2025
... every inch a live action cartoon with a little contemporary self-awareness and about as much substance as a Scooby snack. Go to Full Review Tina Kakadelis Beyond the Cinerama Dome Jul 25, 2023
The pitch-perfect casting of the members of Mystery Inc. is what makes Scooby-Doo compulsively rewatchable. The plot is serviceable, and most adults will be able to unmask the villain long before the Mystery Inc. team does, but that doesn’t matter. Go to Full Review James Croot The Post NZ Jun 27, 2022
3.5/5
If you can accept a pixellated pooch, you'll be rewarded with an entertaining, un-taxing romp that will delight fans and enthrall youngsters. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Johnny T @RT44929206 5 days ago This movie a quite enjoyable in a nacho libre sort of way. The dorky jokes and obvious satire dialogue make it a fun watch with nostalgia added. It’s not a Chris Nolan masterpiece or anything so everyone can just relax and enjoy it for what it is.

See more Hayleigh W @RT69057373 Oct 10, 2026 This movie has me laughing out loud every time and is an absolute classic, great casting and people need to remember it’s a kids movie so of course it’s not going to be technically perfect but the jokes are great and it will forever be one of my all time favourites! See more Robert P @Superbad Sep 18, 2026 Scooby-Doo = a *2* star Movie! See more Dakota P @DaCinephile Sep 12, 2026 Surprisingly well cast, Scooby-Doo’s lead actors capture the energy of the original cartoon better than many other adaptations. The film is absurdly unrealistic and full of silly decisions, most of which didn’t land for me. I can appreciate callbacks to the ridiculousness of the source material, but this film pushes that instinct too far at times. Maybe that’s intentional given the target audience, but there was a better balance to be struck, especially considering the scale and creativity of the production. Worth it for the kids, but not much more. See more Read all reviews
