Scooby !

The first few minutes make you hopeful of the good-old Scooby Doo and his gang, with the same character traits that make us love them so much, and the same underlying point of revealing the villains. But over the course of the film, it turns into a story that has little to do with the original Scooby and didn't interest me at all. I turned it off halfway through, two stars for the acceptable visuals and the funny beginning. (08/07/2020)

I found the three-dimensional Scooby Doo less goofy than its cartoonish predecessors, which is definitely a plus point. In this case, it's not so much about solving mysteries and unmasking the villain as it is about pursuing him, with the troubles between the members of Mysteries Inc. experiencing a minor relationship crisis at the forefront. Alongside this, the film introduces another interesting crew who are also trying to catch the bad guy. Story-wise, Scoob! has a few shortcuts and scripted rough spots, but I was still mostly entertained and even slightly moved by the ending. While this is primarily a film for younger audiences, I think it has places that will appeal to an adult viewer as well. P.S. After watching the film, you will never look at bowling balls the same way again. (18/07/2020)
