Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

Asad Almond A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Blake Rivera If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Paul Magne Haakonsen "Scooby-Doo and the Goblin King" is certainly a movie that will appeal to the long-time fans of Scooby-Doo and the Mystery Gang.I, however, found the 2008 "Scooby-Doo and the Goblin King" animated movie to be just another generic, run-of-the-mill addition to the Scooby-Doo franchise. It didn't stand out in any way.Now, don't get me wrong, I am not saying that this was a bad movie or a boring movie, not at all. It just happened to be a very standard and generic animated movie that we have seen so many times before.The animation was good and the art style was good, very much keeping up with the traditional art style that is used in the Hanna-Barbera cartoon. So on that account, there is some sense of security and familiarity to it.As usual the voice acting was great, as it always is in the Scooby-Doo animated movies. And it is always a treat to have Frank Welker and Casey Kasem do the voices. Furthermore there are some rather great voice appearances in this particular animated movie as well, such as Tim Curry, Jim Belushi and Jay Leno.The storyline in "Scooby-Doo and the Goblin King" was somewhat too generic and stereotypical, even for a Scooby-Doo movie, and that was the main reason why my rating of it ends on a mediocre 5 out of 10 stars.

andreasfields7 Although I enjoy most Scooby Doo films, this one is not on the list. The characters have to take on new roles that don't work for them. The movie is also extremely confusing, such as when Scooby and Shaggy are driven to the graveyard. The caretaker ends up being a werewolf, but you would think they were still in the human world. Back in the real world, with Velma dramatically passing out, Fred and Daphne have to free the fairy, which isn't a very promising combination. The characters are VERY creepy and at times frightening. One particular scene was when Shaggy and Scooby encounter the three witches in the hut. They don't grab my attention, but seem too adult for the movie, which never works good with Scooby Doo. The movie also has TREMENDOUSLY dark moments, such as when the Great Krudski begins to harness his power. He belongs more in an actual horror movie than this. He is like a perverted best Friend's dad: Creepy, annoying, and scary. Although it is supposedly scary, the fantasy elements do not help the movie whatsoever. They just jumble up the plot and leave for a clunky bulk. The only positive review I have for the movie is the pumpkin. He gives me hope that this movie can revive itself. He has delightful energy and hilarious dial. Sadly, even he cannot bring the movie up from it's very deep hole.

kyle-mcdonald Well first off let me say this was by far one of the best Scooby Doo cartoon adventures I have ever seen. From beginning to end I was smiling being a long time fan of Scooby Doo I'm always excited to see what the next movie will bring, and this time around I was definitely not disappointed.Scooby and the gang are enjoying a wonderful Halloween night at a Halloween carnival filled with exciting rides with a few scares thrown in. After Scooby is denied entry into a magic show Shaggy and Scooby decide to take it upon themselves to show that this magician is a fraud. After upsetting this magician, he is determined to get his revenge and unleashes an rage of black magic. It is now up to Shaggy and Scooby to save humanity from this evil magician before he sets forth dire and irreversible circumstances.The storyline this Scooby Doo movie follows is filled with non stop excitement, action, laughs and just pure old fashion fun. Shaggy and Scooby must travel to the super natural world to retrieve the Goblin Kings magical wand before it gets into the hands of the amazing Krudsky. Along the way we are met with funny characters, catchy songs and a story that will keep you interested until the end and begging for more. The only thing I wish there could have been of was good plot twists, there was only one twist at the very end of the film which was an OK twist but could have been a bit more interesting. I also like the fact that this movie returns to the use of real monsters and that it travels to the supernatural world, it just made this adventure that much more fun and exciting.I must say, by far the best part of this Scooby Doo adventure was the all star voice cast. This one has everyone such as the regulars: Frank Welker as Scooby Doo and Fred, Casey Kasem as Shaggy, Mindy Cohn as Velma and Grey Delisle as Daphne who all do an amazing job as their characters as usual. On top of the regular cast we are gifted with the likes of: Wayne Knight as The Amazing Krudsky, Wallace Shawn as Mr. Gibbles, Jay Leno...yes I said Jay Leno as Jack O' Lantern, Tim Curry as the Goblin King and even James Belushi as Glob, who all do such a wonderful job which just makes this Scooby Doo adventure shine.So if you're a Scooby Doo fan or you are just looking for a good Halloween movie to enjoy with your kids this is the movie for you, from the great comedy to the great voice talents, it is a movie for all ages and is defiantly worth watching.Overall Rating: ********* out of ********** ****1/2 out of *****

Brent How can any Scooby-Doo fan not take offense that the main premise of Scooby-Doo was to show children that monsters do not exist, and now they use monsters without any premise of trickery in all the latest films.Seriously, this is not the Scooby-Doo that had been made famous years ago. They have taken the name and done what they want with it.I have little problem with cartoons about monsters and the like, it is only when the premise of a great show for children is completely reversed that I take offense.I would love to see the original concept of Scooby-Doo restored so that future generations may come to enjoy Scooby-Doo the way that it was originally intended to be enjoyed. This is NOT Scooby-Doo, this is the complete opposite of Scooby-Doo!
