i must have seen a different film!!
Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
This is considered by most everyone to be the crowning achievement of the long-running Scooby-Doo franchise, and I couldn't agree more. An extended episode this is not; it is truly where the stakes and the fear factor were at their highest.First off, Scooby and the gang are not one-note characters like in previous incarnations. The script actually allows the main characters to be fleshed out a little more while still being their likable selves. The supporting characters are also very engaging.The story is not only intriguing, but it is unbelievably mature for a Scooby-Doo film. This is by far the darkest in tone of the entire franchise, and it involves a dark backstory of treachery and murder.This film has a true sense of peril with you really believing that the gang really are in danger. They keep the suspense level high. Who ever thought that could ever be said about a Scooby-Doo film?This is the first of four Scooby-Doo movies animated by Mook Animation Studios, and the animation is superb. The zombies have a very nice design to them and look very creepy. In addition, the film also has the best soundtrack of the entire series. "Terror Time" and "The Ghost is Here" are both first-rate songs.This is not only the best Scooby-Doo movie, but also one of my personal favorite animated films of all time. It brings so much new stuff to the table while still having the Scooby-Doo spirit. Recommended to anyone, not just Scooby-Doo fans.RATING: A-
Scooby-Doo has often followed a trend or routine of visiting some inconsequential location, discovering a mystery, being chased by numerous monsters and then neatly solving it with the trademark quote, "meddling kids". Zombie Island, however, moves from that entirely.To begin with, having the gang split up before being reunited is a nice touch to reintroduce their individual characters for those of us who lost track during the show's long hiatus. The opening sequence and those following Daphne's new challenge to find a truly haunted location are wonderfully put together, and really bring out the meaning of what the show is all about. There may be a brief pause in between, but soon the story develops into something quite intriguing.Imagery of the island and inside the mansion are perfectly captured, and scenes involving Shaggy and Scooby wandering the forest were eerie and when the zombie began to rise from the ground, it became a breathtaking experience. It's no surprise that the movie was given a parental guidance certificate, because there were some truly horrific parts for kids to endure. The movie may lose a lot of momentum by the end, but the historical links bring a whole new light on the mystery, and having the monsters be real is a risky step, but a successful one nonetheless. Overall, it was masterfully created, with a straightforward screenplay and a simple concept that became something quite original and incredible.The only real problem I had was the nasty fisherman's involvement in the story, if only to move suspicion from any of the other characters. Definitely one of the best Scooby-Doo stories ever!
Scooby Doo on Zombie Island was one of the first Scooby Doo movies I ever saw as a child, and it sure was one to start with. The movie itself is well made, with excellent animation that sets it apart from most "straight to video" movies. It also is one of the darkest and scariest Scooby Doo movies, and as a child I was left terrified. The movie follows the Gang reuniting to tour Louisiana for Daphne's new TV show, where she wants to get footage of real ghosts, not just guys in masks. She just might get her wish when they're invited to the mysterious Moonscar Island by Lena, the housekeeper for Simone Lenoir, who has a plantation there. Once they arrive, they immediately start encountering supernatural activity, but I won't dare spoil for you what occurs. What I will say is that the imagery and plot can be truly horrifying, and not just by cartoon standards. If you intend on showing this to sensitive viewers, take caution. What sets this movie apart from other Scooby Doo films and other children movies is that it takes the audience seriously. The humor is there, but it is actually rather scarce, instead giving way for plot development and plenty of scares. There also are little to no childish circumstances, leaving it a very enjoyable experience for both children and adults alike. Like I mentioned previously, the far darker tone of the movie is also a welcome addition, at least to me. One last thing I can say for it is it has one rocking tune in it called It's Terror Time Again. It is awesome! You'll be head bobbin', I guarantee it. If you enjoy Scooby Doo, or want something refreshingly original, check this out.
With me being in my mid-teens, I feel a little bit silly watching the Scooby-Doo videos, but I have to admit, Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island was really the best out of all the franchise. Sure, it may be a little different, but when it comes to this one, I'm not kidding here. Its scariness does live up to the original show in my opinion. It is so creepy, you'll want to watch it again and again. Also, the ending just gives me the right to say "Surprise!" I'm definitely not going to tell you what it is though, 'cause it might get me kicked off of here. Anyway, if you like Scooby-Doo with just a touch of scariness, you'll love this. Oh, and I also recommend Scooby-Doo and the Goblin King if this is not enough.
