User reviews

I am a massive fan of the franchise, and this movie didn't disappoint. I haven't seen the Velma siries, just didn't seem all that interested in if. And the trailer was poor. Good to know that some of the other reviewers said it wasn't very good, so kudos to them.

The film starts off with a projector figure, bright orange and looking like fire is chasing Louis and Jimmy, who own the place. They then escape and fearing for their lives and other people's. I think the dynamic works. The Chemistry is also very good between the cast members here. And it definitely feels like they've known each other for a long time.

I honestly found Velma searching up the place, and then looking out the window of the place to it being absolutely destroyed. That was a funny moment. And honestly the characters dynamics worked superbly well in this movie. And the absolute chaos that ensued was also really fun. We had an action-packed start with Metropolis being completely destroyed. And the gang have to figure out what has happened to our Heroes. And the gags genuinely had me laughing hard at times. This movie is great with it's jokes, and the Superman jokes were also very funny and definitely landed after taking off.

The animation is always great in Scooby-Doo movies, always stands the test of time, and always ahead of it's time. And it's no different here, Lex Luthor looks like the real one from the comics and the Movies and the TV Shows, and Louis Lane also looks really good in this. The films use of colour and effects are always a delight. And they always make it seem kids friendly. Also the soundtrack is also great here too.

But, the movie is tonely off. Like some parts happen far too quickly. And the first 10 minutes didn't really have any space to breath. The scenes were fast-paced and that didn't work for me. I feel like the movie could of been more stretched out, as the plot and the storyline was great and it did lead to some great throwbacks but in reality it would of worked better if it was longer.

Although with that being said, I love the grand scale of this movie. And the new Character in this world, Krypto who was a great dog. And he looked like a companion of Superman. And the action set-pieces are really fun. And epic in scale. The final act is really brutal, and is back and forth between good and evil. Definitely back to form Movie for the Scooby-Doo and Co.

Would I recommend this movie?

Yes Indeed, I thought it was fun and exciting. And had great chemistry between the cast members. 6.5/10.

This was a fun and enjoyable movie. It was exactly what they advertised it to be in its trailer as this was a another Scooby doo crossover with some characters from the DC Comics. There were also some really cool easter eggs from the comics and WB's other DC Animated shows in this movie, so even as a DC fan you will love the throwbacks.

The Character designs of Krypto, Jimmy Olsen, Lois lane and Lex Luthor were all good in the Scooby doo artstyle. The jokes involving Lois and Luthor were funny.

Now Scooby doo movies or shows are generally targeted towards kids/tweens, so they will love this.

Tired of superheroes? Fair. But who can ever say they're tired of Scooby-Doo?

Here, he teams up with Krypto, the canine companion of Superman, and while the movie isn't anything that special, the fact that it's the first piece of Scoob media since HBO's Velma (a bitter and ugly edgelady affair that shat on characters it didn't care to understand) makes seeing the Mystery Inc. Kids go at it again feel like a palette cleanser from Heaven. I suppose I also laughed more at this parody of Lex Luthor than I did at the new Harley Quinn season's Lex during the totality of its latest season.

You might feel that the inclusion of superhero characters is an attempt to cash in the popularity of something that frankly isn't as popular anymore, but this sort of crossover is hardly out of the ordinary for this gang. (Scoob and Batman have fought together as far back as the 1970s; if you want something truly desperate, look no further than 2020's Scoob!) Also, the most prominent of the appearing villains is Solomon Grundy, which is a very "Scooby-Doo" choice indeed. (Slightly less pleasant: Tara Strong once again plays Harley Quinn and there's a sort of sad poetry to the fact that a now-hated actress would get to do the role again, the same year the original Harley, Arleen Sorkin, left this world.)

Even if you didn't watch Velma and don't realize what a reassurance this is for many, the flick might still please you. Again, not one of the best, but watching one of these movies -- pointing out all the red herrings, guessing who the real villain is, anticipating the chase montage, etc. -- is a quintessential part of the season.

The only people who still seem upset are the Snyder hashtag spammers who think this inoffensive, formulaic-but-charmingly-so DVD movie is another example of David Zaslav's effort to disrespect DC's superheroes. Can't you manchildren just be happy that Season 4 of Harley Quinn is as bad as it gets for you guys and that there's no Batman equivalent of Velma... yet?

Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen are searching the Hall of Justice for the seemingly missing Justice League. They find a fiery phantom instead. It's all hands on deck as supervillains are wrecking havoc on Metropolis. Jimmy calls his summer camp friend Daphne. The Scooby-Doo gang arrives at the Hall to solve the phantom with help from Krypto The Superdog and Lex Luthor.

This is an animated mashup between Scooby-Doo and DC Justice League. It has some fun with the silly premise. It is very much a Scooby-Doo mystery and the final reveal is not that exciting. I would have liked to pin the whole thing on a janitor. The silly fun runs a little thin by the end, but it is still a good time.

'Scooby Doo and Krypto Too!' (2023)

Opening thoughts: Am still a huge fan of Scooby Doo, yes am not afraid to admit that, and have been ever since single digits. Some of my favourite childhood memories are from watching Scooby Doo, Looney Tunes and Tom and Jerry back when Cartoon Network and Boomerang were airing quality shows. Most of the Scooby Doo incarnations are between very good to fantastic, especially 'Where are You' and 'The Scooby Doo Show.'

'Scooby Doo and Krypto Too' is in my view worth seeing for Scooby Doo enthusiasts and stands well on its own. It's not one of the best Scooby Doo films, like 'Zombie Island' and 'Witch's Ghost', but it is a long way from being one of the worst. At least it's not the slap in the face that is 'Return to Zombie Island'. As a crossover it works quite well, the Scooby Doo franchise did well generally with its crossovers and 'Krypto Too' is no exception.

Bad things: It is agreed that 'Krypto Too' is too short, would have given it 10 or so minutes more to let the plot breathe more. Especially with so much being packed in. Also that it does feel rushed, particularly when it becomes more action packed.

The final reveal was not particularly satisfying, a running out of gas feel there with a reveal that was pretty predictable and could have had more time to be explained.

Good things: As is the case with pretty much all the Scooby Doo films, the animation is great. Very colourful and atmospheric, with a lot of detail in the character animation and elaborate action. The music has a lot of atmosphere and character. The film on the most part is well written and has a fair share of funny jokes and lines. Not just Shaggy and Scooby but also Lois and Luther. All the gang are true to character and the chemistry engages while all the crossover characters are a lot of fun and work and balance with the gang well, not overshadowing or underwritten.

While there are pacing issues, the story never stops being engaging and has entertainment value, inventive action and even a little creepiness here and there. The film starts off very well and was not expecting the climax to be as brutal as it was, a word that this reviewer does not usually associate with the Scooby Doo films. The voice acting is solid and at its best excellent.

Closing thoughts: On the whole, there was a lot to enjoy here but there was room for improvement.

7/10.

I watched this with my 6 year old son, he was reasonably entertained, but he did ask me "why are all the men stupid and cowardly and the girls are clever and brave?". I couldnt give him an age appropriate answer; other than "films used to show the opposite, but now they have decided to show it the other way round". But thats not really true as films in the past showed plenty of brave, courageous and clever men and women, although men would generally do the fighting as physically they are typically much more capable then women in this regard. Anyway my kid enjoyed the film and gave it 5 out of 10. 2 out of 10 for me irrespective of the cowardly stupid men.

Well, the good thing here is that you know what you are getting yourself into when you sit down to watch the 2023 animated movie "Scooby-Doo and Krypto Too".

However, I have to say that I found the storyline, as written by T. K. O'Brian, a bit too mundane and generic. Sure, it was watchable, given the fact that it was a combination of classic Scooby-Doo mixed in with some DC Justice League. But it ultimately was just soup boiled on watered-down broth.

The art style and animation in "Scooby-Doo and Krypto Too" is good, and that classic "Scooby-Doo!" drawing style just works every time, and it certainly helps to make it all the more watchable.

With "Scooby-Doo and Krypto Too" being an animated movie, then having a proper voice acting ensemble is important. And you know with the likes of Frank Welker, Grey Griffin, Matthew Lillard and Kate Micucci as the Mystery Gang, then you're in capable hands.

I found "Scooby-Doo and Krypto Too" to be enjoyable and watchable for what it turned out to be, though director Cecilia Aranovich didn't bring anything new to the franchise.

My rating of "Scooby-Doo and Krypto Too" lands on a bland five out of ten stars.

This is such a good breath of fresh air after the Velma Disaster, and while this could be considered just another Scooby Doo movie, that's why it's so great in the first place; it really shows the group's cohesiveness and demonstrates why the Scooby Doo formula has persisted for so long.

That's not to say that innovation and change is bad for this franchise; it's just the way it's applied and the characters handled that can really ruin a Scooby Doo film. And this one? Does the opposite of ruin the character interactions. There were genuinely many moments i actually laughed out loud and I can honestly believe the Scooby Gang willingly hang out with each other and are friends, not to mention all Metropolis elements meshed together well/the scooby gang didn't feel out of place in my opinion.

And sure, the mystery was easy to put together, but I had fun watching this film, and isn't that what matters the most in the end. These characters are cherished and a classic, it great to see them being treated well.

TLDR; good scooby doo movie. Not a 10/10 but certainly very earnest 7.5-8/10.

The newest Scooby-Doo movie. I expected something normal from Scooby-Doo, a mystery, som children comedy-spookiness and some fun. But damn, I have to admit, this movie was just so disappointing. The mystery itself, and the overall movie, was just a great mistake. I'm surprised that even Dc associated with this production. They did a big mistake, just like the mistakes they did with Blue Beetle or the Weak second Shazam movie. Well, I will tell you why this Scooby-Doo disappointed. The suspects were a few, and I knew from the beginning who is the main villain. So I didn't get surprised, not in a good way, at least. The timing in the scenes were weak, too. Sometimes, they changed courses throughout the movie, what was sometimes confusing and annoying, they just didn't stick to the plot properly. The reactions and emotions was so badly expressed here, when they were in danger, the team acted like when they was just playing the game, and they could restart anytime. That lost the feeling of the dangerous things that was in here. The animation is getting worse and worse through the years, but this year, sorry, the animation is very bad and they changed it too much, I liked the old animation much more, it was more expressional and funnier too watch. One more thing is the villains. When they make a villain, do something new, at least, don't use other villains, to be the movies villains. Yeah, and they talked about Batman here, when Batman wasn't even in the movie! Scooby-Doo and Krypto, unfortunately too, was a disappointing animation movie from the Scooby-Doo franchise, I hope something better will come out next year, I don't know if I'm going to watch Scooby-Doo next year, but if I will, I hope for something good, something original. I get the thing that they want to included Dc characters to make it unique, but they didn't got it so well. Better luck next time.

Its very different than others scooby doo, but this was just like something new from future or like that. I liked it very mutch and it wasnt too long. It was like not boring with 🍒(unnatural thing) superheros on the top. Idk what to type here because this needs to bee very long but the caracters were cool and the super dog is so good, litle emotional and with big fantasy. It was not scary at all but very confusing and funny. Scoby do was in good here. The food lookt so good and the truck fenommenal. This is one of the best scoby doos and i wasnt disapointed. But i can understand if some body didnt like it it was just something different.

Lovely animated film, very amusing crossover which worked quite well. Off course, for this actually work, it had to present more the Scooby-Doo style than the DC Comics one. However, there was throughout the film a homage to several moments and characters in DC universe (including Superfriends), Krypto was a key partner for saving the day, and the final battle , which combined both Justice League and Scooby-Doo styles, was nice. There are several funny gags, and hilarious moments with the Mistery Machine crew together with Jimmy Olsen, Lois Lane, Lex Luthor, or Clark Kent. I seriously missed Batman (nonsense absence!), but Daphne is as good redhead Batgirl as Barbara Gordon. The "Transformers Super Sentai" were a nice addition. The hot dog seller and the valet parker provided a good contribution as additional characters. Extremely amusing and satisfying experience for a fan of both Scooby-Doo and Justice League.
