Movie Review - Scooby-Doo Return to Zombie Island!

A Scooby-Doo Movie was realized a while back. This movie review will talk about how It was unimpressive and, at times, demeaning to the original, which had some amusing qualities.

After watching the movie, doing a movie review only seemed natural. Then I saw that a sequel to Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island was in the works, and by the looks of it, it was going to have a lot of the same issues.

This was a whole lot worse. The Curse of the 13th Ghost has Daphnes character development and Maurice LaMarche as Vincent Van Ghoul, but this film is a shambles.

The movie has many of the same false as some of the previous scooby movies. Still, it also created too many side plots, like Fred missing the Mystery Machine and the rest of the gang promising not to solve any mysteries for Shaggy and Scooby.

For the most part, the Zombie Island plot takes second place to these side plots, but when it does focus on the Zombie Island plot, the film is at its worst.

Velma was the character that suffered the most from WBs direction in the Scooby-Doo movies, and this is still the case here.

She was not there during the events in The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo. Thus, her refusal to believe the ghosts are real is comprehensible, but she was present during Zombie Island and agreed that the zombies and cat people in that film were real. She is now preoccupied with demonstrating that the events depicted in that film were also fictitious.

She had no proof, simply something she concocted out of thin air so she would not have to face the possibility that actual ghosts really exist. Velma is meant to be intelligent, but this film turns her into a paranoid conspiracy theorist. 

Is WB really mad with Velma, or are they just using her to vent their rage at the true monster Scooby-Doo media?

It is OK if you enjoy Scooby-Doo stories with false ghosts and monsters, and I have no objection to WB sticking to that formula. However, when crafting nostalgic films for media, you can't use that method since the ghosts and monsters are genuine. 

I sincerely hope there are no more Scooby-Doo sequels, but given that the Mystery Machine is not returned at the end and there is a joke about The Reluctant Werewolf, I am sure there will be at least one more.

I am not sure what the Scooby-Doo theatrical film Scoob will be like next year, but it should be better than this.

Sequel to scooby doo zombie island

To be honest, there are many sequels to Zombie Island in the sense that they were stories based on the notion that the group would be in confrontation with an actual supernatural presence. 

• Scooby-Doo and the Witch's Ghost in 1999, which introduced the Hex Girls

• Scooby-Doo and the Alien Invaders in 2000, which featured Mary Kay Bergman as Daphne for the final time

• Scooby-Doo and the Cyber Chase in 2001, which featured real supernatural creatures

• Scooby-Doo! and the Goblin King in 2008.

The issue is not with reboots or sequels; it is with a lack of inventiveness. I do not see the sense of continuing the plot 10 years later unless it is a nostalgic cash grab, which is pretty much everything these days. This concludes our movie review.
