[.ca] Scooby-Doo: And The Monster Of Mexico

From Amazon.com:
Sooner or later, the Mystery, Inc. gang had to take on Mexico's legendary Bigfoot equivalent, El Chupacabra, and that's precisely what they do in this entertaining, feature-length, Scooby-style investigation into the paranormal. Taking the Mystery Van south of the border, Fred, Daphne, Velma, Shaggy, and Scooby-Doo celebrate Day of the Dead festivities, which become less festive when a towering, glowering Chupacabra monster turns up to terrify both tourists and locals. The young snoops smell a conspiracy, and as they chase down clues their search for the truth leads them into sundry Mexican antiquities--ancient tombs and temples--where danger increases exponentially. There are the usual rituals: Our time-warped heroes run like the wind during encounters with alleged ghouls--particularly best-buds Shaggy and Scooby, when they aren't stuffing themselves with delicious Scooby Snacks. The animation is slicker and smoother--and more pleasing--than some other, recent Scooby-Doo features. --Tom Keogh

Scooby-Doo is a child's video hero.:
I, for one, am glad that they keep making Scooby-Doo movies. The old stuff is still fun to watch and the new ones are great for me and my nearly 3 year old son. I have to admit though, El Chupacabra from this movie and the ghosts from The Boo Brothers is scary for my son to watch at nighttime so I don't offer it as a choice at night. In this day and age of foul mouths and violence on TV, I am glad to offer Scooby-Doo as a choice for my son.

Scooby Doo Flies High:
Kids loved this one. Catchy music, lovely Mexican setting, several character who seem "suspicious" when scary things start happening. The flying statues scene from the ruins kind of confused my kids, but added to the mystery - did the statues really come to life or was it another trick? (the mystery is solved in the end) Scooby Doo and his crew have endured since my childhood and their newer movies are still entertaining for kids today.

Moderately Amusing:
I don't know what it is, but as they get newer, the "new" Scooby-Doo movies lose their appeal. I wish they would just stick to the plots from the '60s, or just not make anymore new movies at all. I mean, it is nice that they're trying to come up with new ideas, but they could at least doo a little better.

Jeenkys! How many dumb Scooby movies do we need!?!?!?!?!?!:
I know this reveiw might offend all you Scoob lovers but here it goes: I think this whole series was dumb from start to finish (if there is a finish). I mean, a Great Dane scared as easily as a 2 day old kitten!?! This series is an insult to all Danes! A real G. Dane would tear these "ghosts and monsters" to pieces without thinking twice!! And how many of these "Scaredy-Dooby-Doo" features do we need anyway, huh!?!?! ADVICE. If you want a true horror/comedy movie, get Beetlejuice, Night of the Living Dead, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 or anything from the Scary Movie series instead!

Don't listen to robertcrabtree's review:
Yeah, this really is a great movie! I'm a HUGE fan of the series and let me say, Scooby-Doo and the Monster of Mexico is NO dissapointment to the series.
