Scooby-Doo: Camp Scare

Old School Scoob
This is an excellent Scooby Doo. It is by far one of the most faithful to the old series I have seen in a long while. It is creepy, funny, and of course mysterious. I like the relationship dynamics between the characters. The updated animation and the story pull out all the stops. The fact that the mystery does not wind up involving the supernatural is wonderful. It is just like the old series. I don't like it when they take something pure and put a different spin on it. My 9 year old daughter and I curled up and enjoyed the heck out of this one. We were both trying to guess who the bad guys were all through the show. THIS ONE IS A KEEPER!

Amazing! Sex and violence in Scooby Doo!!
Well, ok, some scantily clad bikini girls does not make things erotic, but this WAS a little more.. ah.. "skin happy" than any other Scooby film I've seen. And I am 53 (yeah, you saw right: 53!), so I've had time to see them all.

Seriously, this Scooby might actually replace The Loch Ness Monster as my all time favourite Scooby feature (I need to see it again a few times). Great story (loved the sunken village), great visuals (love multiplane shots), solid humour and a dramatic edge to the action that I was surprised found itself into a "kiddie" film (ok, I am 53, again, so I see these things with different eyes.)

In short, this is, for what it is, a masterpiece.

Good but a might scare the little ones
This is a good story centered around Fred's old campgrounds from when he was a kid. The mystery involves three creatures that were legend around the lake where the camp is. They turn up and are trying to close the camp down and get everyone to leave. The gang has to figure out why they want it closed and who is doing it. It overall sticks to the standard Scooby Doo blueprint and is enjoyable. The only reason four stars and this review is to let you know that there are a few parts that might scare the little ones. It seems they were gearing it for halloween and some older kids. There are a lot more intense chase scenes and surprising times when the bad guys jump out that will have the younger ones jumping. Other than that is a great movie.
