Scooby Doo - Live Action Movie with
Sarah Michelle Gellar, Freddie Prince Junior and Matthew Lillard |
Ghosts haunting spooky old factories? Hip kids being
brainwashed? The Darkopalypse about to engulf the world? Scooby-Doo, where are you? But the gang have all fallen out and
dissolved the Mystery Inc partnership for good. Jinkeys! Luckily a strange
invitation to solve a mystery on Spooky Island has unwittingly reunited
the now-flopped members of the team. Can ghoul-getting gang get along
again?
Review
The latest in a long line of live-actioned-up retro cartoon faves,
Scooby-Doo features superb action set-pieces and seamlessly blended
live actor/CGI interaction--our eponymous hero is rendered with particular
panache. What's more, the special effects are backed by a scarily
well-written script and some frighteningly good performances. The
Buffy-tastic Sarah Michelle Gellar was born to be Daphne, and
Matthew Lillard is show-stealing as the dream-to-play Shaggy. The
characters themselves are darkly developed - Fred is now a vain egotist,
Velma a last-picked-at-sport geek and Daphne a Clueless-style
airhead. Happily, Shaggy and Scooby are still a pair of snack-happy
gormless goofs for whom friendship outweighs all else.
