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.
These ladies are HILARIOUS! I really enjoyed watching this. I laughed out loud a whole bunch of times and really love the actors in these particular roles. I can already see several long-term quotable lines coming from it. Chris Hemsworth was also a riot.
While it's probably technically a remake, this movie has its own original plot and its own original characters. I'm glad for that. I loved the nods to the original without (always) hitting you over the head with it. Keep an eye out for some old friends.
Having said that, the movie does drag a bit around the 2/3 mark before kind of getting its mojo back for the finale. And make sure you stick around through the credits (which go by surprisingly quickly)!
There are going to be people who will hate this no matter what. But don't pre-judge this movie based on the trailer. Give it a chance and you may laugh as hard as I did.
Update: Saw the movie. It wasn't that bad. This movie is geared towards women to enjoy. It is a chick flick. It was cute and funny. I enjoyed it!
Why are there so many bad ratings when the movie isn't even out yet? I'll hold off my rating until I have seen it.
A two and a half hours boring, depressing mess. In short, Zack Snyder.
And the dream sequences take more screen time then the actual BvS fight. Who thought this was a good idea?
