It feels like the script was originally about just two friends solving mysteries, but then suddenly the producers threw Daphne and Velma at the last second.
Honestly, if this actually started as a Nancy Drew/Judy Moody crossover like NC joked about, I wouldn't be surprised in the least. The casting choices would have made a lot more sense in that context.
Yeah, it was probably to get it more attention. Although, to be fair, you can make almost any plot only starring Velma and Daphne and you could make the same claim... probably because they belong with the rest of the gang lol.
There’s a “Suite Life” joke in there somewhere since Daphne’s dad is played by the hotel engineer from that show always coming up with the crazy gadgets.
Honestly, the bad guy's motivation is on par with a lot of the previous villains. Some just wanted missing pirate gold and others were running realty scams.
As someone who vociferously watched all the animated Scooby Doo DVDs I could find when I was younger, I’m amazed with how many I missed and how many more there are now. 😂
Well, as a crazy person who has consoomed every piece of Scooby media in existence - they tend to be very hit and miss ^^ But for a franchise that has been going for over five decades, it's always surprising how many legitimately good things have come out of it.
@@pumpkinpanic3195 i still dont think velma was THAT bad like it was bad but it coulda been good if the writers heads were out of their asses and can any show where dennis reynolds is fred jones be any less than a 3.5/10
@@jareththegoblinking3191 zendaya should never have been cast as MJ. Shes very pretty but in no way is anything like MJ. I think they loopholed it and claimed that zendaya isnt ACTUALLY mj, but i cant remember for sure. Actors should look like the characters they portray, thats casting 101
@@Twinklethefox9022 Yup, there have been times when a high keening tone would play in the background of a movie or something that I could only just hear, but which my younger sisters would wince at and cover their ears saying it was really annoying.
A while ago, I watched a crossover between the Scooby gang and Batman: The Brave and The Bold, on Cartoon Network. If Critic didn't review that one already, he ought to!
12:35 "Oh, shame-sticker, is everything okay?" This actually made me laugh during the review. I guess from her reacting to it so seriously to something so silly. It also means that bit about the sticker actually went somewhere, as an opener to this conversation. As an author, understand how difficult it can be to find new ways to start conversations, and getting to make a serious conversation (at least serious to the characters) start from something whimsical is just fun. I haven't seen this movie, but I imagine Daphne walking around the school all day with this until finally she runs into that one person weird enough not to just react to it, but react like "Uh-Oh, something serious is going on."
To quote the late great Norm Macdonald and something we were all betting on but sadly didn't come to be “This would have been a great game to watch if we didn't have any money on it.”
I don't expect specials to even try. Only Matthew Lillard really played the cartoon character in live action. At least these two weren't a hit piece on the characters like Freddie Prinze Jr. as Fred.
I honestly love Daphnes character in this..she loves aliens and is excited to talk about it…gives her more of a motive for solving mysteries. I think it gives her more depth then just liking clothes and fashion
Not that her thinking monsters are a real is a point of characterization this is bad (I think it'd work even with how she's been characterized previously) The lack of depth in Daphne that the newer entries are trying to solve is a problem THEY created. Daphne became a journalist in the 80s and she continued to be into the 90s after Mystery Inc reformed. They could've even modernized her unique motivation by doing investigative journalism on her smartphone. Even before the split-up it's Daphne's family money that let Mystery Inc operate like they did, meaning that Daphne wanted to solve mysteries with the gang enough that she'd ask her family to bankroll Mystery Inc instead of doing fashionable socialite stuff. Daphne didn't lack depth, recent writers just happen to be as shallow as they perceive her to be and choose to let wealth, status and fashion define her.
I saw someone say they should have set this in the 60s before they met the gang and it’s just so correct. Would have been fun but instead we got cliche after cliche and a Velma that looks less like Velma than Tamara 😭😭
It’s pretty bad when neither of the lead actresses look like their characters. If you took a screenshot of them and asked “who are these characters?” I doubt anyone would have a clue unless they were unfortunate enough to have seen this movie
@@EmptyAltruism It doesn't help that neither character is dressed in their trademark clothing for most of the movie, or any of the modern reimagined variants. Say what you want about the early live action Scooby Doo movies, but the wardrobes were pretty on point for the most part.
@@Dargonhuman i can agree with that. I thought Mathew Lillard made a great Shaggy, voice was spot on even if his nose wasnt as big as Shaggy's. I also had a soft spot for SMG since im a Buffy fan so that contributed to me accepting that movie, even though she wasnt Daphne to me. Her husband made a poor Fred. Linda Cardellini was also spot on as Velma, she was actually cuter than i envisioned a live action version of Velma, but still looked and sounded correct. The movie was far from perfect and the cgi is beyond dated but i'd watch it again...its better than "Daphne & Velma" at any rate
How about if at the end Daphne and Velma pass two guys: Blonde guy: Is that girl with Velma new here? Guy eating a pizza: Like, I think so Blonde guy: She's hot
"Scooby Doo Meets Scream" Who's gonna tell him that Scoobynatural exists? Now THAT'S a top tier crossover-but still think that Batman vs TMNT is the best crossover.
Am I the ONLY one who thought Tobias Bloom should be in a perfume commercial? I mean he has the looks for it and I wouldn't be surprised if the actor actually did perfume commercials.
Forgot this was supposed to be a thing. Your catchphrase is getting more and more fitting the more you review movies like this. Like, when I saw it when your Scooby Doo playlist updated today, I was like "Huh?".
Personally this is a case of me just preferring having the whole gang together. I wasn't even huge on having Scooby and Shaggy being the only characters.
It's always worked best with a full gang. Every iteration without everyone has I think performed worse. Doesn't stop Warner Brothers Entertainment from trying to milk the franchise every few years though. Can't risk those HanaBarbera properties ending up in public domain, potentially letting others make money from them without giving and money to Warner.
And with that, he has finished the Live Action Scooby-Doo film franchise... ...which means he now has dozens of animated Scooby-Doo films to watch now.
16:50 I love how they have IKEA lights to make Bloom's room look more futuristic. Side note, I really want one of those lights, I'd happily play with one for hours.
At this point, I Wish they would make Scooby Doo meets horror icons specials. The gang already met Vincent Price and Elvira, so they just up the age and make it happen.
I mean, hell, if Abbott and Costello could pull it off, why not Scooby-Doo and the gang? They've done stranger crossovers with Batman and the WWE. Hell, even the Ghostbusters tangled with some classic horror icons in The Real Ghostbusters and Extreme Ghostbusters, so I can see a Scooby-Doo/Ghostbusters crossover where they team up to investigate horror icons.
Well, there was that recent crossover with the Supernatural TV series. Done in updated animation that is still similar to the original series and revisiting a classic episode.
@@jordanhunter3375 ok, so here's my idea: let's say the gang's passing through Happydale Heights, New Jersey when their van breaks down. While it's in the shop, they're offered residence at the local Addams mansion where they're properly introduced to the guest characters of the same name. Now, for this particular crossover, I'd use their designs from the 90s animated series since their last one was in the 70s. Let's say at the same time a two-headed monster is wreaking havoc in their home. It's smashing the place, busting their stuff, maybe even kidnapping Wednesday and Pugsley at one point. While the hosts (of course) aren't too bothered by this, Mystery Inc. feels that urge to solve the case. In the end, the culprits turn out to be the Normanmeyers (sans NJ).
for those that have never seen that scene from Red Dwarf, the whole exchange goes: LISTER: Oh god, aliens? Your explanation for anything slightly peculiar is aliens, isn't it? You lose your keys -- it's aliens. A picture falls off the wall -- it's aliens. That time we used up a whole bog roll in a day -- you thought that was aliens as well. RIMMER: Well we didn't use it all, Lister. Who did? LISTER: Rimmer, aliens used our bog roll? RIMMER: Just 'cause they're aliens doesn't mean to say the don't have to visit the little boys' room. Only they probably do something weird and alienesque like it comes out of the top of their heads or something. LISTER: Well I wouldn't like to be stuck behind one in a cinema.
Finally a Red Dwarf reference! Other than that, this movie is the definition of a mixed bag. I can see spots of greatness mixed with utter cringe. Thank you for this review, sir.
How can you have Velma and Daphne? They're nothing without Scooby-Doo. Well in episodes Shaggy and Scooby-Doo have had spin-offs about themselves. But this is just wierd
There is a bunch of Shaggy and Scooby spin offs ,and the majority of then flopped,if the spin offs of the most popular characters in your franchise aways fail,there is big sign that the Scooby gang dont work in pieces,or you use all of then or none
@@arsenelupin9697 It's more likely the reason is "how many profitable, nostalgic girls' IPs do we have? Eh, we can just do a spinoff with the girls from Scooby-Doo."
@@KeybladeMasterAndy That's part of it as well, but if you can't market it towards the "girl power" crowd, them simply being nostalgic characters, won't be enough to get the project greenlit.
One film I'd certainly love him to review is Beavis and Butthead Do America. I think it has a lot of review potential, and it makes sense to review it, given that a second revival's coming later this year.
Never knew this even existed! So there's... Scooby-Doo 2002 Monsters Unleashed The Mystery Begins Curse of the Lake Monster And now this... THIS HAS TO BE THE LAST ONE, RIGHT?!?!
Omg I didn’t know Arwin from Suite Life of Zack & Cody was in this?!?….to be fair I wouldn’t have known either way, but still that man is AWESOME! Glad to know he makes things like this still kinda funny, all from him! 😆🙌
I know other people are saying it and others have likely said it in the past, but you really need to check out the Mystery Incorporated show. It's solid throughout but gets better as it goes. The best Scooby has ever been.
@Channel Awesome 5:32 Nedley Elizabeth Dad Donkey. That really cracked me up. Keep up the good work on making nostalgia critic videos. They are really amazing.
Long time Scooby doo fan, love almost everything Scooby Doo and this was one of the VERY, VERY FEW movies I didn't like. It was free on Hulu at one point and I didn't even finish it. I couldn't it was so bad.
@@jadedheartsz Maybe I did, but I was cringing so many times and pausing the movie I just said screw it and stopped. Maybe I'll give it another chance in the future, but for now I'm good.
@@chadjones967 It is solid! This movie is exactly what it says it is and succeeds in what it wants to be. I just think it's very cringey in a lot of ways. Now you want a Scooby Doo movie that's not solid and is a failure entirely? Watch Return to Zombie Island.
You know what would make a great video for mid march. Nosferatu. Why? Because the movie was released March 15th 1922, 100 years ago. Now sure March 15th 2022 is a tuesday but still
I actually saw this film when it premiered at C2E2. I'm not going to say that it's a great film, but I found myself enjoying it far more than I thought I would. I'm glad it's finally getting an NC review.
I really appreciated the Red Dwarf reference!💕 any chance you guys could do a video or 9 on that show? Love your work! I didn't know about this spinoff and appreciate the odd corners of pop culture you bring to my attention. Please bring Red Dwarf to other people's attention!🖖
It's funny how Daphne is known for being a believer of the supernatural and aliens in this one, when Fred was the one who believed in outlandish things in A Pup Named Scooby Doo.
One of the things I find strangest about this movie is how if you listen really closely during the few physically comedic moments, you can hear the cartoony Scooby-Doo sound effects, but they're SO quiet. It's like they knew they had to use them but at the same time they didn't want them to be noticeable. Like what xD
Maybe check out the Mystery Incorporated tv show from 2010. It's like if Gravity Falls writers took over a Scooby Doo project. Bottomline, it's leagues better than anything Scooby Doo has any right to be.
The Scooby-Doo Project is creepier than it has any right to be. You’ve got to admire the balls of whoever pulled off Scooby-Doo does Blair Witch Project.
I bought this on DVD last year. I only watched it two times. One question, does every new Scooby-Doo property ignore, A Pup Named Scooby-Doo with the introduction of how the characters met?
I was the only one who liked the film, when I saw the title I looked, I had a feeling that I always wanted a film about these girls and the interaction between them, but I did not know about it. I was glad to see him. And the film is strange in a good way, it is impossible to guess what will happen next, unlike ordinary films for children. This is a good and interesting movie for children.
This just feels like they didn't have the budget to do Scooby's CGI and still wanted to make a live action movie based on those characters... but they could have called this movie "Nancy and Harriet" and it wouldn't make any difference. It feels so little like a Scooby Doo movie and was never advertised that I've seen at least that there's literally no point in trying to get more views by using known characters if no one even knows the movie exists in the first place... and they barely resemble those characters. I think it would have even been better if their names were changed because as a Scooby Doo movie this is terrible but as a stand alone kids movie with no connection to any existing IP, it's not as bad. And they had a kid in there who kinda looked like Fred but was a different unrelated character so maybe this was originally planned to have more than just Daphne and Velma but they recast "Fred" rather than firing him when his original intended role got cut from the script.
Was not expecting the Red Dwarf reference in the middle. You are a total, total... a word is yet to be invented to describe how totally whatever-it-is you are, but you are one. And a total, total one at that.
If you weren't going to have the full gang why not just have Shaggy and Scooby. Like it would make sense why it would take them so long to figure it out.
Is anyone else questioning why Velma starts a Video Call by berating Dephne by saying "Aliens did not mess with that theme park Daphne"... seriously, look at the time on the computer, she says that in the first 3 seconds of the Video Call.
8:40 “Maybe you want a home cooked favorite but don’t wanna go to the store” Then you COOK your own food at HOME, like normal person! You know? The reason we buy GROCERIES!

LISTER: Oh god, aliens? Your explanation for anything slightly peculiar is aliens, isn't it? You lose your keys -- it's aliens. A picture falls off the wall -- it's aliens. That time we used up a whole bog roll in a day -- you thought that was aliens as well.
RIMMER: Well we didn't use it all, Lister. Who did?
LISTER: Rimmer, aliens used our bog roll?
RIMMER: Just 'cause they're aliens doesn't mean to say the don't have to visit the little boys' room. Only they probably do something weird and alienesque like it comes out of the top of their heads or something.
LISTER: Well I wouldn't like to be stuck behind one in a cinema.
"She's the reason why this goddamn song exist!"
😆😆😆😆
Daphne and Velma>Velma
Finally a Red Dwarf reference! Other than that, this movie is the definition of a mixed bag. I can see spots of greatness mixed with utter cringe. Thank you for this review, sir.
I vote for a review covering Red Dwarf, more people need to know about it
Talking about Doug making a Red Dwarf reference? He made a joke about Totally Spies
@@Sairin13 Yes YESS! It would be amazing to see Doug talk about it
He made a reference to it in his Tomb Raider review as well
1:47
NC:Lets take a look at Nancy Drew and Judy Moody
Me:Audrey from Decsendants and Eve's friend Cami from Last Man Standing.
Weird
How can you have Velma and Daphne? They're nothing without Scooby-Doo. Well in episodes Shaggy and Scooby-Doo have had spin-offs about themselves. But this is just wierd
That’s what every scooby Doo fan thought. Nobody I know wanted this
Oh, you sweet summer child - it's called "pandering to the Twatter crowd" ^^
There is a bunch of Shaggy and Scooby spin offs ,and the majority of then flopped,if the spin offs of the most popular characters in your franchise aways fail,there is big sign that the Scooby gang dont work in pieces,or you use all of then or none
not true.
@@AndreNitroX People want Mystery Inc. But we never get more of that 0_0
I still want a Scooby-Doo meets Leatherface. It makes the most sense since they both came out roughly around the same time period.
Leatherface is 50?!
Something that would actually be scary
I saw this (haven't seen the film itself) on HBO Max, and I questioned why it was made.
Pandering to people, who spend all of their time on Twatter, shipping two fictional, female characters? ^^
@@arsenelupin9697 It's more likely the reason is "how many profitable, nostalgic girls' IPs do we have? Eh, we can just do a spinoff with the girls from Scooby-Doo."
@@KeybladeMasterAndy That's part of it as well, but if you can't market it towards the "girl power" crowd, them simply being nostalgic characters, won't be enough to get the project greenlit.
I dunno how I feel about Sharpay Evans producing this
Who is Sharpay Evans?
@@mysterykiddo2167 Ashley Tisdales character from High School Musical. Ashley Tisdale produced this movie
I kind of want to see her play Daphne now lol
One film I'd certainly love him to review is Beavis and Butthead Do America. I think it has a lot of review potential, and it makes sense to review it, given that a second revival's coming later this year.
This is where people drunk dial this movie after watching the Velma show and say.
“You know what babe. You’re not as bad as I thought.”
1:34 how dare you shaggy has great hips
I know the critic has made Red Dwarf references before but this one, I actually said it literally before that clip came on 😂😂
Still better than HBO-Max's VELMA.
I actually remember when this came out. I was 15 years old. I thought that was the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen
I’m a long time scooby Doo fan and I didn’t even bother to watch this one since I thought it was a joke.
I thought, my 8 year old self would have enjoyed it, but I don't
@@patax144 You were smart.
insert the "me still thinking 2015 was like 2 years ago," meme here.
"I actually remember when this came out", I beat you do considering it hasn't even been 4 years since the movie came out!
Never knew this even existed! So there's...
Scooby-Doo 2002
Monsters Unleashed
The Mystery Begins
Curse of the Lake Monster
And now this...
THIS HAS TO BE THE LAST ONE, RIGHT?!?!
Still better than Mindy Kaling's 'Velma'
The use of a "Red Dwarf" clip already makes this the best scooby doo review.
Omg I didn’t know Arwin from Suite Life of Zack & Cody was in this?!?….to be fair I wouldn’t have known either way, but still that man is AWESOME! Glad to know he makes things like this still kinda funny, all from him! 😆🙌
I know other people are saying it and others have likely said it in the past, but you really need to check out the Mystery Incorporated show. It's solid throughout but gets better as it goes. The best Scooby has ever been.
This is better than the Velma show
Daphne and Velma secretly being the villains would be a brilliant plot twist!
@Channel Awesome 5:32 Nedley Elizabeth Dad Donkey. That really cracked me up. Keep up the good work on making nostalgia critic videos. They are really amazing.
Hello,Doug! Just got done watching JURASSIC PARK. Still my favorite movie of all time!
Still a classic!
A new episode of Nostalgia Critic on my 30th birthday (HAPPY BDAY TO ME!!)? Best. Present. Ever!
Happy 30th Birthday!!!
Happy Birthday 🥳🎉
happy b-day!
Long time Scooby doo fan, love almost everything Scooby Doo and this was one of the VERY, VERY FEW movies I didn't like. It was free on Hulu at one point and I didn't even finish it. I couldn't it was so bad.
Likewise. I will watch any scooby Doo movie, but this one I never got around too because I thought it was a joke.
I think you missed out, it was actually pretty good.
@@jadedheartsz Maybe I did, but I was cringing so many times and pausing the movie I just said screw it and stopped. Maybe I'll give it another chance in the future, but for now I'm good.
I don't know, this seemed pretty solid compared to other Scooby Doo movies.
@@chadjones967 It is solid! This movie is exactly what it says it is and succeeds in what it wants to be. I just think it's very cringey in a lot of ways. Now you want a Scooby Doo movie that's not solid and is a failure entirely? Watch Return to Zombie Island.
That Red Dwarf clip made me smile knowing that Doug appreciates Red Dwarfs unique style of humour
"Though in a bizarre twist, there's no Scooby Doo." Then what's the point?
10:50 she..... just killed a sentient robot.
is that, like, half-murder? whatever it is, it's kind of disturbing. and it's played for a fricking joke!
Her being into paranormal makes perfect sense. In the zombie movie she has a series going around hunting down the paranormal.
Still a million times better than the new Velma show.
You know what would make a great video for mid march. Nosferatu. Why? Because the movie was released March 15th 1922, 100 years ago. Now sure March 15th 2022 is a tuesday but still
I actually saw this film when it premiered at C2E2. I'm not going to say that it's a great film, but I found myself enjoying it far more than I thought I would. I'm glad it's finally getting an NC review.
DEAR GOD HOW MANY FILMS ARE THERE?!?
17:20
Plankton: “ I knew I should’ve gotten the turbo”
His Scooby-Doo Reviews are always the best!
Agreed I always look forward to the October reviews
@@AndreNitroX Same
Don't forget about Tom & Jerry!
@@devilbob Still haven't seen it
Daphne and Velma: I'm the worst Scooby Doo property ever.
Velma: Hold my beer.
I really appreciated the Red Dwarf reference!💕 any chance you guys could do a video or 9 on that show? Love your work! I didn't know about this spinoff and appreciate the odd corners of pop culture you bring to my attention. Please bring Red Dwarf to other people's attention!🖖
It's funny how Daphne is known for being a believer of the supernatural and aliens in this one, when Fred was the one who believed in outlandish things in A Pup Named Scooby Doo.
Man of culture here.
All of the jokes and references in this episode had me rolling! 😂
The actor of Audrey from descendants already looks weird with unnatural blond hair(but not bad)
But she with ginger, that really doesn’t work 😂 lmao
Who's here after seeing the most hated Scooby-Doo incarnation of all time? "This title minus Daphne and"?
One of the things I find strangest about this movie is how if you listen really closely during the few physically comedic moments, you can hear the cartoony Scooby-Doo sound effects, but they're SO quiet. It's like they knew they had to use them but at the same time they didn't want them to be noticeable. Like what xD
Maybe check out the Mystery Incorporated tv show from 2010. It's like if Gravity Falls writers took over a Scooby Doo project. Bottomline, it's leagues better than anything Scooby Doo has any right to be.
Yup! But it was made by Werner, not those idiots from HB.
The Scooby-Doo Project is creepier than it has any right to be. You’ve got to admire the balls of whoever pulled off Scooby-Doo does Blair Witch Project.
08:11 Gotta love that small fake-out before the commercial break. XD
Some films I'd love to see reviewed by Doug is the Ben 10 films.
There’s only one of them
Alex Winter(Bill from Bill and Ted) directed the first one
Ben 10 has movies are there live action or animated .
@@ninjanibba4259 Actually there’s 2 live action ones
@@BlueBlazeKing like I said
There’s only ONE of them
Even the Hamburglar doesn't want to rob This Franchise why cause there's nothing to rob its talent left years ago.
I bought this on DVD last year. I only watched it two times. One question, does every new Scooby-Doo property ignore, A Pup Named Scooby-Doo with the introduction of how the characters met?
If they didn’t there’d be a lot more better Scooby movies…maybe…better than THIS at least.
Yeah, pretty much
Actually the Scoob movie covers that. Not well but it tried.
This honestly made the movie look pretty good, especially cause I never saw this
I was the only one who liked the film, when I saw the title I looked, I had a feeling that I always wanted a film about these girls and the interaction between them, but I did not know about it. I was glad to see him. And the film is strange in a good way, it is impossible to guess what will happen next, unlike ordinary films for children. This is a good and interesting movie for children.
I love this film so much.
This just feels like they didn't have the budget to do Scooby's CGI and still wanted to make a live action movie based on those characters... but they could have called this movie "Nancy and Harriet" and it wouldn't make any difference. It feels so little like a Scooby Doo movie and was never advertised that I've seen at least that there's literally no point in trying to get more views by using known characters if no one even knows the movie exists in the first place... and they barely resemble those characters. I think it would have even been better if their names were changed because as a Scooby Doo movie this is terrible but as a stand alone kids movie with no connection to any existing IP, it's not as bad. And they had a kid in there who kinda looked like Fred but was a different unrelated character so maybe this was originally planned to have more than just Daphne and Velma but they recast "Fred" rather than firing him when his original intended role got cut from the script.
Was not expecting the Red Dwarf reference in the middle. You are a total, total... a word is yet to be invented to describe how totally whatever-it-is you are, but you are one. And a total, total one at that.
Smee...Smee Heee
18:20= "HA HA, NO WE WON'T!" Cracks me up lol
If you weren't going to have the full gang why not just have Shaggy and Scooby. Like it would make sense why it would take them so long to figure it out.
I mean, they kinda did that already in Shaggy & Scooby-Doo Get a Clue.
Is anyone else questioning why Velma starts a Video Call by berating Dephne by saying "Aliens did not mess with that theme park Daphne"... seriously, look at the time on the computer, she says that in the first 3 seconds of the Video Call.
I hope there will be another Scooby-Doo live action movie since 2004
I wonder if this was always a Scooby-Doo related project or it just had Velma and Daphne slapped in at the last minute?
14:22 was not expecting a Craig Charles clip
17:14 Specially those IKEA ceiling lamps in the background! They didn't even gave them a little twist of they wouldn't be so obvious.
I am impressed with how fair and balanced this review was.
