Joyeux Halloween, Scooby-Doo!

We paid $17 for this and we want at least $16 of that back. This was the worst Scooby ever made. The plot made no sense. Most of it was a roadway chase scene. The characters were just bizarre, especially Daphne who veered from imitating rap stars to worshiping Elvira. Save your money.

After an awfully disappointing "Scoob!" Mystery Inc. is back!

Crystal Cove is putting on a Halloween parade hosted by Elvira, Mistress of the Dark. The rest of the Mystery Inc. gang is after the Haunted Scarecrow while Scooby-Doo and Shaggy hide in the van. It turns out to be Dr. Jonathon Crane aka the Scarecrow who had recently escaped from Arkham Asylum. Scooby-Doo and Shaggy do save the day as Scooby shoots down Scarecrow's drones with Halloween candy.

I haven't seen Scooby-Doo for many years. I didn't realize that they are now in the same cinematic universe as Batman. I wonder if they are going to be in the next Batman movie with R-Pat. The first fifteen minutes is the most compelling and memorable for that fact. The rest is a bit muddled and it can't get more jaw dropping than catching Scarecrow. Come on! Scarecrow is a solid Batman villain. I can't believe the kids caught an actual Batman villain.

Ok, so not the worst movie. Probably the worst Scooby Doo movie out there, but at least it's still watchable. The guest stars and side characters have more likability than the main cast, sans Velma who absolutely dominates, to the point where the movie is almost about her. Bill Nye was an absolute treat, as wasn't Elvira, both of which are extremely likable and quirky in their own ways here. Shaggy and Scooby get dummed down a bit, but at least they're still funny. It's Daphne and Fred who really get nerfed, with the former being absolutely unacceptable (Fred was already a bit to late to be saved.) The villain is good, with a rather good twist and is still scary enough to keep you on the edge of your seat. Although there are some references in there that one would swear are just to prop up the movie. Overall, watchable, with this really being Velma's time to shine, but don't count it as a must watch.

It was meh but I really like and laughed so hard when I saw Fred's preperation :D It was the same scene of Dutch preparing from Predator 1987. So good reference :)
