The Monster of Mexico has a good score (& original voices) but besides that this isn't my first pick of Scooby movies. It is certainly child friendly & the animation is smooth but it lacks any real draw & I find the movie boring. It's not historically accurate but that isn't my problem w/ a cartoon like this, but it isn't funny or clevor so I can't say it's good like other Scooby movies.

This is possibly the worst animated Scooby-Doo movie. The film just feels uninspired and poorly put together. I liked it when I was younger, but it's amazing how many things wrong with it I now realize there are.One thing I can't review this movie without mentioning is the obvious fact that the Chupacabra here is inaccurate to the legend. In this movie, it is a purple Big Foot, whereas the legends generally depict it as a malformed wild dog. A little research would probably help, you know!The script has many inconsistencies, and there is a fair amount of exposition and redundant scenes to drag things down. Also annoying is how stupid the townspeople were for not realizing how obvious it is that the bird was mechanical, not to mention them immediately believing the bird that Scooby and the gang are criminals without any evidence.The voice acting is surprisingly dull with the voices of the gang phoning it in, especially Heather North as Daphne. I also hated that the villain was somebody we hadn't even seen in the movie at all. His motivation didn't even make much sense.I can't call this movie unwatchable, because I did enjoy the Mexico setting, there are some funny scenes, and the animation is pretty decent. However, this is still a pretty poor Scooby-Doo movie overall. Definitely not recommended to anyone other than Scooby-Doo fans, but even the fans don't really need to see it.RATING: D+

Monster Of Mexico is one of the weaker Scooby Doo movies I've seen. I am not saying it is the worst, I am merely saying that this could have been so much better. On the plus side, the animation is not at all bad, and neither is the voice acting. There are some nice characters thrown into the mix. However, what didn't wow me as much, was the rather unimaginative plot, and the perpetrator I found rather obvious. Also I never was fond of the soundtrack either, at the end of the day, it felt rather monotonous for my liking. There were times when the mystery got very predictable, like when Louis claimed to have been hit on the head, and the gang suspected he was faking it, I was thinking now where have I heard that before? The dialogue wasn't particularly that inspiring either. I am not saying that Monster of Mexico was a terrible movie, it wasn't, it just didn't work for me that's all. If you want a great Scooby Doo movie, try Witch's Ghost, Goblin King or Zombie Island. And Pirates Ahoy! was fun too. 4/10 Bethany Cox

This movie really get people dancing. Scooby and the gang are heading out to Mexico. Where there will be a Fiesta, that gets spoiled by a chupacabra(Goat sucker). To me, this creature resemble the Jaguaro, and I think they oughta done better. The adventure beings all good, and nothing seems to be lost in every way. A little lady dog seem to have eyes for Scooby. However, any lady dog will take Scooby seriously. The other cast like Charlene was a shady character from the beginning. She was always spilling the beans, coffee beans to be exact. And the robot characters in the theme park had all the tourists fooled. When everything went well, it was back to the fiesta, and who would know that Shaggy would take the lead. Just like any other Scooby-Doo cartoon, this movie is still the gem. You can learn some Spanish, solve along with the gang, and eat. I don't care what the critics think, I enjoyed this movie from day one! Rating 3.5 out of 5 stars.
