a5c7b9f00b The Mystery Inc. gang must save Coolsville from an attack of past unmasked monsters brought to life by an evil masked figure trying to &quot;unmask&quot; the gang. When Mystery, Inc. are guests of honor at the grand opening of the Coolsville Museum of Criminology, a masked villain shows up and creates havoc before stealing the costumes of the gang&#39;s most notorious villains: Black Knight Ghost, Pterodactyl Ghost and Tar Monster. Could it be that their nemesis, mad scientist Jonathan Jacobo has returned and is trying to recreate their deadliest enemies? Velma has a crush on the museum curator Patrick Wisely despite her fears of intimacy but why is he acting so suspicious? The Mystery Gang is hard pressed to succeed this time, since annoying television reporter Heather Jasper-Howe insists they are buffoons. The original live action SCOOBY DOO was rather like the cotton candy you buy at the fair: pretty to look at and fun to scarf down. But a little goes a long way, particularly when all the air has been beaten out and it emergesoverworked taffy.<br/><br/>Freddie Prinze Jr., Sarah Michelle Gellar, Matthew Lillard, and Linda Cardellini repeat the roles of Fred, Daphne, Shaggy, and Velma. Once again, Prinze and Gellar are hardly inspired but at least they play with tremendous energy; once again Lillard and Cardellini are so dead on target that the effect is almost spooky. They are supported by Seth Green, a truly talented actor who gives a very nice performance indeed; unfortunately, Peter Boyle is largely wasted and Alicia Silverstone is, well, Alicia Silverstone.<br/><br/>Silverstone aside, the cast might have recreated the lightness of the first film–but once you mix in a story about stolen costumes that come to life, huge sets, wild outfits, a dance number, and a ton of CGI effects they pretty much get lost in the shuffle. It&#39;s all aboutmuch funa carnival after the crowd has gone and you&#39;re left alone with gum on the bottom of your shoe.<br/><br/>Kids probably won&#39;t notice the shortcomings, and older fans will be glad to see numerous references to the original cartoon series–and to be fair the film does have its moments, largely thanks to Lillard, Cardellini, and Green. The film is available to the homemarket via DVD… But by and large this is the sort of thing you watch once and then let gather dust on the shelf.<br/><br/>Gary F. Taylor, aka GFT, Amazon Reviewer I&#39;m convinced that some of the most imaginative scriptwriting is in the most unlikely places: kids movies, porn, what have you. And I found some of that in the first Scooby movie.<br/><br/>Here&#39;s the deal. The cartoon had the same plot for a gazillion years: kids investigate ghost and find it is a human in disguise, sort of a kiddie Baskerville. Now along came the movie and instead of humans in ghost costumes, we had ghosts in humans. And the story rolled with it: all sorts of gags based on different notions of self-reference. It was perfectly right for the project, which after all puts humans in cartoon figures and with the dog, a cartoon figure among humans.<br/><br/>I liked it. It played with the nature of film. Velma&#39;s hair was castdark red, so both the girls were redheads. This was a cinematic decision. No fools in charge that time.<br/><br/>Now this. The story this time could have been taken to the next level. It certainly seems to have been conceived that way from the basic idea: you start with a collection of costumes from all the old cartoons. These are the costumes that humans wore, pretending to be ghosts. Now you have real ghosts wear those costumes. Has promise.<br/><br/>Also take our Velma out of her costume. (Since the first Scooby, we&#39;ve seen Cardinelli in &quot;Brokeback Mountain.&quot; In that, she played the 21 year old daughter to a fifty-something Ledger, though she is quite a but older. It reminds us that 30 year olds are playing these teenagers.) Anyway, take Velma out of her dorky costume (but keeping the fake teeth) and into something sexy. Part of the joke about costumes. And there&#39;s some minor play with Shag and the Dog transforming too. All this indicates that it got startedintelligentlybefore, but in development someone must have wanted it to be more like the cartoons. This means you&#39;re mostly just looking scared and running away in comic fashion.<br/><br/>Velma&#39;s hair is black. That should have been the giveaway. Where is Rodriguez when we need him? This is a waste. But I&#39;m going to keep coming back. Maybe next time someone will want it &quot;like the first one,&quot; which after all did double the business.<br/><br/>Ted&#39;s Evaluation – 1 of 3: You can find something better to do with this part of your life. Could be a tough go for those not already Scooby-Doo fans. It has a totally artificial quality, starting with Prinze's blond wig.
