IWIOY ep.7 Double Doo Feature
Today on I Watched it on Youtube, it's Scooby Doo time everybody! I'm going to review a newer straight to DVD movie, Scooby Doo Cyber Chase, from 2003, and an older Scooby movie, Scooby Doo and the Reluctant Werewolf.
First is Scooby Doo Cyber Chase!
The plot idea is that scooby and friends get sucked into a video game that was designed by a friend of theres to be about them, so to escape they need to get through 10 levels of bad guys. This was used so poorly, instead of bringing back old cool villains or newer versions, or parodying the old show they just have them take on dinosaurs! and roman soldiers! Its lame, nonsensical and bland
Another negative is the voice acting which is pretty sub-par. Also the animation is pretty low rate, it's obvious backgrounds with characters put on top. Including an obvious animation goof up.
There is one moment, literally one moment, that made me laugh. To spare you the pain of watching the movie I'll just tell you. When Fred suggests splitting up into groups, shaggy and scooby just walk off and Fred goes "Hey guys, I didn't say who'd go with whom." Shaggy just replies, "Man, it's not like we've done it any other way." (Obviously it's funnier to see not read)
The plot is not only stupid, the villain is dumb, non threatening and not cool. Most villains in Scooby doo were actually kindof threatening and you can understand why the gang runs away. Remember this guy?
This guy was scary! And the noise he made coming after you could penetrate your nightmares! The virus in this movie doesn't make any cool noises or scary threats, he talks just fine and what he says is bland. Not only that this virus looks more like something that belongs in Danny Phantom not Scooby Doo
Not to much to say here, just a bad movie that was made to make some money. It has it's VERY seldom moments but overall pretty weak. I'd give it a 4/10.
Now onto a movie from 1988, Scooby Doo and the Reluctant Werewolf.
This movie has Shaggy, Scooby and Scrappy doo (leaving out the rest of the gang) as Shaggy is turned into a real werewolf for a monster race run by Dracula himself.
Now I remember watching this movie as a kid and I loved it but man, I could not find a redeeming quality in this movie. The plot is ridiculous and steers away from what made Scooby doo enjoyable. The animation is what's expected from the series and isn't anything spectacular, and because it's out of it's regular setting you don't get that nostalgia feeling. The writing is bland, I never laughed this whole movie. I guess I could say the voice acting was ok, but nothing special.
But by FAR the worst thing about this movie is that in an hour and twenty minute long movie, 45 minutes of if is the race itself! And it gets soooooo repetitive.
Honestly, if I had to choose I'd suggest watching Cyber Chase over this, at least that one tries to be like the old series with music similarities and chase scenes. This one just.... I don't know how someone could think this up and feel like it fit within the Scooby doo series well. I'll give it a 2/10.
Now I'm off to find a GOOD Scooby doo movie, like Scooby Doo on Ghoul Island or Scooby Doo meets Batman, wait those are bad. Ok well then I'll watch the live action Scooby Doo movies because those are good right!? ........AW FORGET THIS!
