I like this movie a lot. I like everyone in Mystery Inc. Everyone got their chance to shine, Scooby could have gotten more time though... The writing is so good and so funny. I love this movie.

Shaggy can't stop screaming after a scary mystery. The doctor manages to get him to stop but orders him to quit mystery solving. The gang goes on a relaxing vacation but it does not go as planned. I like Shaggy's issues and his journey. I like the standard Scooby-Doo adventure. It ends way too early and even the characters comment on the quick solve. Then it does the second mystery and its reveal. I don't like the second one. Scooby-Doo has never been known for being realistic but the second mystery seems more unreal than usual. I don't like the reasoning or their scheme. I just don't like it. So I like most of this movie but the last section bugs me.

I watched "Scooby-Doo! Legend of the Phantosaur" with my seven year old son, as he enjoys the adventures of Scooby-Doo and the gang quite a lot. I grew up with these cartoons, so I know basically every story and how it will turn out, as they all follow the same formula. With that being said, don't get me wrong, because the storyline in "Scooby-Doo! Legend of the Phantosaur" was actually quite good, albeit it still follows the same blueprint for a Scooby-Doo story; that being the gang coming across a mystery, being chased about, finding clues, and then unveiling the people behind it all. Yep, another one of those. But the storyline was actually still fun and enjoyable. You pretty much know what you are getting when you sit down to watch an animated movie such as "Scooby-Doo! Legend of the Phantosaur", or any other Scooby-Doo movie for that matter. The The voice acting in the movie was quite good, as it usually is in the Scooby-Doo animated movies. And it is always a treat to have Frank Welker and Matthew Lillard to do the voices for Shaggy and Scooby-Doo. If you enjoy the Scooby-Doo cartoons and animated movies, then you will most definitely also like "Scooby-Doo! Legend of the Phantosaur". It is an enjoyable animated movie, but still does suffer from that repetitive build up of storyline used time and time again. But this is actually an enjoyable movie for fans of Scooby-Doo and the Mystery Gang.

I really liked this movie! The voice acting was on point, especially with the new characters. The new characters didn't add much but the voice acting definitely did. The story was fun and never felt boring. And the jokes were hilarious. I found myself laughing a lot more than I usually do. The animation was terrific and never disappoints. Overall, this movie was great and I found nothing bad to say.

My feelings are kind of mixed about this entry in the Scooby-Doo franchise. I feel that it had potential, but there are many things about it that weren't really executed well. The storyline revolving around Shaggy and this fear disorder was pretty exaggerated and annoying and took up too much of the movie. The scenes where he turned into a tough guy were actually fun to watch. However, I hated that they shoved it down our throats that the keyword is "bad" and that the gang were too stupid to figure it out. The general plot felt unfocused. The mystery and stuff about the Phantosaur was kind of interesting, but it felt a little underdeveloped with how at times the story would completely stop to focus on Shaggy's problems. The climax of the film was trying to tell a compelling story about how Shaggy doesn't need the hypnotism and how he really did have bravery in him all along. It certainly had potential, and managed to be an exciting sequence, even if it could have been a little longer. The animation is good, the CGI for the dinosaurs is neat, and the film is reasonably cinematic for a Scooby-Doo movie. However, the supporting characters were kind of bland. I really didn't care for Velma's love interest. Their romance felt very "been-there-done-that." The humorous scenes are hit-or-miss. The joke ending with everyone turning into Shaggy, however, is horrible. HORRIBLE! It has things to enjoy from it, but it's too uneven and flawed for me to fully recommend it. It's not the worst Scooby-Doo movie, but it certainly isn't one I'd watch again and again. Worth checking out mainly for Scooby-Doo fans. RATING: C+

One of the better Scooby movies that holds tight to the classic elements of the original series. Sometimes you have to go back in time to see the future. These movies have better animation and should present plenty of entertainment for young and old alike. Punchy, fun, and a bit of mystery all in one.

I grew up watching Scooby Doo. I can hear the theme song in my head while I'm typing this! My teen-aged daughter decided to pick this movie to watch and we literally rolled on the floor laughing! Without saying much (don't want to spoil it for others!) there were so many Jurassic Park references from the first two JP movies and there was one scene that coincidentally mirrors a scene in Jurassic World. If you are a fan of the JP franchise like I am, you will recognize them when you see them. YOU HAVE TO WATCH this movie!

Coming from a big Scooby Doo fan, I enjoyed Scooby Doo! Legend of the Phantosaur. If there is anything that stopped the film from being truly great, it would be a longer length by about 5 or so minutes to give way to a little more clue-solving and as sweet as it was the romance felt rather thrown in. Otherwise, the animation once again full of colour, vibrancy and fluidity with a mix of What's New Scooby Doo and the original classic series is great, the music is fitting and doesn't detract from the mood, the writing is very funny with its fair share of thrills and scares, the story is interesting and well paced with some nice action pieces the best being the motorcycle race and an unexpected and very decent final solution, the monster is believable and the voice acting is solid. Overall, a nice, diverting mystery. 8/10 Bethany Cox
