Daphne & Velma

So, I can't understand, why do a live action without Scooby-Doo! For me doesn't work, the two characters could be anyone, the only thing that you think "oh, okay they are of Scooby-Doo" is the clothes and something about your personality, but all rest is to much cliche. The mistery isn't so cool, and your resolution is ok. I just hope that give us another movie but with all the gang. Pleaaaaase.

Don't waste your time or money. Between the special effects & acting it was the worst movie I've ever seen. One kid fell aseelp after 20 minutes. It was worse than a bargain bin movie.

I think this is what happens when STEM funding gets used for the arts?

It's pretty bad but my daughter liked it so I guess that makes it not a 1

I sat down to watch this movie with my 8 year old son, whom is a big fan of Scooby Doo and the Mystery Gang.

Let's just say that he left after about 15 minutes of suffering through the torture method that is known as "Daphne & Velma", while I managed to endure 45 minutes of this garbage.

Right, well there was so many things wrong with this.

First, the movie was lacking a proper storyline and seemed like director Suzi Yoonessi was given no limitations and just put together a series of random segments here and there. Sarah Jeffery, playing Daphne, looked nothing like the cartoon character in any way, except for their hair color, and it didn't help that she was stumbling through what were supposed to pass as being acting. Sarah Gilman, playing Velma, fared little better in the acting department, but at least they made her look very much like the cartoon character.

The characters in the movie were one-dimensional cardboard cut out figures that offered absolutely nothing to the storyline. And they were so irrelevant that you didn't even bother about them in any way.

"Daphne & Velma" was also hindered by an abysmal set of dialogue. Wow, it was such a pain to listen to.

According to the synopsis, then this movie was supposed to take place before the gang all got together to form the Mystery Gang. Right, well plausible enough. But no! Then the movie should be set in the time according to prior to the first Scooby Doo episode, which it clearly was not if you look at all the gadgets and technology in the movie. That was just a downright horrible flaw to the movie. Sure, they attempted to appeal to the audience today, but good luck getting the youngsters to raise their heads from their phones and tablets long enough to get any interest in this derailed movie project.

This movie was a swing and an atrocious miss. Not going to bother coming back to this. In fact, I will pretend I never saw those God awful 44 minutes and not let it taint my view on the legacy of Scooby Doo and the Mystery Gang.

Prequel of Scooby Doo's live action saga and prequel based on Daphne and Velma's story, the movie conserves all the stereotypes of other films (even if we can consider it something a part: different actors and concepts): pre-adolescent high school movie, with problems about diversity and popularity that are not really analyzed. Something interesting there is about an Orwellian school world where social network system controls and influences people's minds; but the film obeys to the tendency toward pseudo-feminist operas, that in reality deal with the problem with superficiality. Moreover, no trace of Scooby Doo.
