skyfall-33402 Velma is the villian.... again. Don't remember much except for that.

generationofswine On one hand it was boring....But on the other hand, Transylvania, Pennsylvania is sort of a classic Scooby location, at least in spirit, so there is that attempt to appeal to the old Scooby Fans.And the towns people were a great source of humor, especially their exchanges with Velma's family, so again, there is that working out for it.And the plot twisted enough to seem like a Classic Scooby cartoon.the downside is, few of the jokes really stuck and the songs were so-so. The humor just wasn't there to save it and with Scooby, the movies can't be sold on plot alone, people are fans because they are kid-scary and funny at the same time.Frankencreepy just wasn't really funny.

Michael_Elliott Scooby-Doo! Frankencreepy (2014) ** (out of 4) Incredibly disappointing feature has Velma inheriting her great-great-uncles castle in Transylvania, which has a curse on it. As soon as the gang heads off to see it, the Mystery Machine is blown to pieces by a strange phantom wearing a mask. Once in Transylvania it's clear that someone wants revenge on Velma and the gang.After the slightly disappointing WRESTLEMANIAC MYSTERY, this latest feature is without question one of the worst. That's not to say that the film isn't worth viewing for fans of the series but there's no question that the film offers very little in regards to entertainment. I will say that there are a few good ideas scattered around but sadly none of them add up to very much and in the end I couldn't help but keep looking at my watch wondering when the film was going to be over.The film tries to do a few new things but I just didn't find anything of them overly interesting. One of the new things was to have the characters all appear in a different form. Shaggy and Scooby turned into brave creatures who don't like to eat. Fred was a whining cry-baby throughout the picture. Daphne turned into an obese woman with awful hair. Then there's Velma who turned into a sexy boss. You'd think some of these changes would be fun but I thought the screenplay was so bland that this stuff was more annoying than anything else. In fact, I'd say this is the absolute worse I've ever seen the Fred character.The biggest sin committed by this movie is the fact that it's simply deadly boring. I don't think I'm going to call this the worst thing to deal with Scooby-Doo but there's no question that there's no energy, no passion and there's just nothing working with this thing. The film adds some footage from the original television show and there's a nice twist at the very end but it's really too bad these weren't used for a better purpose. I won't spoil the ending but it was a clever little idea that should have been used in a much better picture.

CountVladDracula | used to love the animated Scooby Doo movies that get released to video each Halloween season. There have been some gems such as Scooby Doo and the Witch's Ghost, Scooby Doo on Zombie Island, Scooby Doo and the Alien invaders. Even the 1980s Scooby Doo and the Ghoul School was fun.In recent years they have become more and more disappointing and this one tops the list. Daphne gets "cursed" to be a size 8 and the body images they depict are beyond terrible. The average woman is a size 12 to 14 yet this carton makes 8 look like you're the Proverbial Operatic Fat Lady. Did the writers and animators have no actual grasp of what a woman's size 8 actually is? The one shining ray of hope in the whole thing is how the only one truly bothered by it is Daphne herself, the man who loves her does not notice or care. Some have complained that this just perpetuates the idea that a man's approval is necessary for a woman's happiness but I disagree. I think it shows that those that truly love you don't mind how you look.But the general depiction of "Size 8" is kind of offensive in and of itself. If they had said size twenty it would have been more believable.I know it was mostly Daphne's imagination and was to show her own unhealthy body image but I think it could have been handled much better.
