Surprisingly incoherent and boring

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

"Aloha, Scooby-Doo!" was a movie that my 7 year old son was quite thrilled to get to sit down and watch, so I sat down with his to watch it as well, because I have grown up with watching Scooby-Doo cartoons. And every now and then do manage to put out some Scooby-Doo cartoon that is quite enjoyable.I must admit that the storyline here in "Aloha, Scooby-Doo!" wasn't the most interesting of stories told in a Scooby-Doo mystery. And it didn't really help that I find that whole surfer lifestyle and attitude to be ridiculous, so it was a struggle to sit through this particular animated movie. But I stuck with it and watched it with my son.The animation style in "Aloha, Scooby-Doo!" was good, as it is actually always is in these Hanna-Barbera productions. And if you are familiar with Scooby-Doo and the gang, then you know what you are getting here, for better or worse.And the voice acting was also good, again as it always is. And it is always a blast to have Frank Welker and Casey Kasem do voice work. I was surprised to find out that Tia Tia Carrere and Adam West also voiced characters in this particular Scooby-Doo story."Aloha, Scooby-Doo!" wasn't a particularly outstanding or memorable foray into the beloved universe of Scooby-Doo, Shaggy, Fred, Wilma and Daphne. However, it just didn't appeal to me, given the surfer setting of the story. But at least you know what you are getting here, and the movie does deliver on such expectations.This was a mediocre Scooby-Doo adventure for me, and as such then I am settling on a 5 out of 10 star rating.

It didn't fall as flat as Cyber Chase, or Aliens, but after Loch Ness, well, it didn't even reach the bar.Still, it had enough little jokes and hidden gags for adults to get a chuckle, especially the Gilligan thing.But ultimately it seemed to try too hard to rob Lilo and Stitch of the Hawaiian culture without really paying it the same respect that Walt did.Its worth a watch, but not something you should buy. Rent it.

I have to say that when I think of Scooby-Doo I think of laughs, entertainment, enjoyment, and the past few Scooby-Doo cartoon didn't quiet click right as Scooby-Doo and the legend of the vampire was boring and not very good, Scooby-Doo and the monster of Mexico was just OK, and Scooby-Doo and the Loch Ness monster was an improvement, they just didn't compare to the previous Scooby-Doo cartoons. But this one was great, it had non-stop laughs, good twists and turns, while it had an almost predictable ending it couldn't change how good this mystery was.While on a vacation in Hawaii Scooby and the gang go to catch the big kahuna of Hanahuna surfing contest, but before they even get there they find out that the small village is being terrorized by the legendary Wikki Tikki along with his tiny slaves that help scare the people in the town away. They find out that one of the villagers has been kidnapped by the Wikki Tikki and the gang have no other choice but to solve the mystery. Throughout the whole mystery the gang is met with constant laughs, great twists and turns, I couldn't stop smiling through the whole cartoon. While this Scooby-Doo has a very predictable ending it doesn't take anything away from how great this cartoon actually is.The plot and setting returns once again to the original Scooby-Doo where there is a mastermind behind the whole mystery and the by the end they find out the villain is just a man in a mask. This is always something I've enjoyed about these Scooby-Doo cartoons while in the cartoons where the monster were real are still very good I always find the original way is much better as it gives the old feeling back.The storyline this cartoon follows is great, it gives us all a barrel of laughs and a great mystery to watch. Although it has a predictable ending it is still something you will want to watch over and over again.This has to be the best all star voice cast I've ever seen in a Scooby-Doo cartoon so far it has so many great and famous actors such as: Frank Welker as Scooby-Doo and Fred, Mindy Cohn as Velma, Grey Delisle as Daphne, Casey Kasem as Shaggy, Tia Carrere as Snookie, Mario Lopez as Manu Tuiama, Teri Garr as Mayor Molly Quinn and they even have Adam West as Jared Moon. This all star voice cast does an excellent job great job at the character they are playing.By the time the cartoon was over nothing could take the smile off my face and it was defiantly one of the best Scooby-Doo cartoons I have seen in a while and it is guaranteed to bring smiles to the faces of all the people that watch it no matter what age. So make sure you rent or buy Aloha, Scooby-Doo because you will want to watch it over and over again, and forget about the predictable ending and just sit back and enjoy.Overall score: ******** out of ********** **** out of *****

I wasn't expecting much since I disliked the Mexico story and the lame vampire, Loch Ness was better but no Zombie Island. This is a change. Taking the viewer and the gang to a completely different venue. By no means, a great addition to the Scooby-Doo legend but certainly a few steps above that new TV show, What's New Scooby-Doo.The set-up of the volcano and the pigmyes was a tad over the top but "Hey" it's a cartoon. It kept me guessing. I was pleased to hear Teri Garr's voice. I know she has MS and this can't possibly bring her much money but just knowing that she's fighting the fight (and with my favorite cartoon character) makes me very happy. She's wonderful.Adam West, as the sham artist -- that was funny. That was so perfect. Nice to have Frank and Casey back. And who doesn't love Mindy Cohen.Rent it
