Scooby-Doo! WrestleMania Mystery (2014)

Highly Overrated But Still Good

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Hand it to the juggernaut that is the WWE to ruin an all time classic children's cartoon.What is it the WWE are aiming for, are they trying to literally take over the world or something? They're poking their noses into pretty much everything trying to make a name for themselves. You're a wrestling company, you should concentrate on wrestling, or sports entertainment whatever you label yourselves as these days, using Scooby Doo as a platform for success and mainstream attention is about as shallow as it gets.Anyhow, as for the overall quality of the film itself, I wasn't impressed, but it was at least watchable. The phantom bear was, well what exactly was it? And what has a phantom bear got to do with the WWE anyway? They could've come up with a more appropriate villain, like the spirit of a long dead wrestler coming back for vengeance.A Scooby Doo-WWE crossover had so much potential, but they ruined it purely out of self indulgence, so much so that they created a whole city based around themselves: WWE City!The correct way to do a film like this would be:No WWE City and don't base it around Wrestlemania Have Scooby and the gang turn up to one of WWE's events somewhere in America, but the event is haunted and ruined by the wrestler spirit (the villain), Vince McMahon and his company approach Scooby, Shaggy etc to help them investigate the case. Actual wrestlers can get involved and it can be classic Scooby Doo, in the end they discover the wrestler spirit is actually a "fictitious" wrestler WWE haven't long employed, he was fed up of being held back and not given the spotlight despite all his hard work in the ring. That's how it should've been done!And the actual star power in the film, Sin Cara playing the joint lead alongside John Cena, only in cartoons would that happen, never once happened in real life, Sin Cara is a jobber at best who has made more botches in his matches than anyone else ever has, and they give him the spotlight in this film, on the same level as John Cena?Weak, self indulgent film that I'd avoid watching, even for the most die hard WWE or Scooby Doo fans, just not worth it, I gave it a 3/10 purely because I can't bring myself to give anything Scooby Doo related lower, actually worth a 2/10.

Hmmmmmm...I really don't know how to feel about this.I mean, I can see Scooby and Shaggy as being WWF fans. I can see them being the types of rubes that don't understand that it's all fake. that works.But the Bear? Really, it doesn't fit for a big bad.And the show is a bit over-the-top even for Scooby Doo. It is all a little bit too much and builds up to yet another forgettable ending.It's a negative in oh so many ways. It doesn't work, especially as a Scooby Doo movie.So there is all of that weighted against it....BUT, it was funny and it had moments where it moved from funny to hysterical.So even though it doesn't work as movie, it passes only on the strength of its humor.

When new superstars came to the WWE like Daniel Bryan, Darren Young Ryback, Adam Rose and those 2 Mexican ***** that wear the masks i could barely watch an episode of RAW without gagging or throwing up a little bit in my mouth.It was BAD... and i mean BAD. I thought the WWE got as bad as it could get but then along came this Scooby Doo crossover monstrosity. I watched it (via torrent) because i wouldn't want to waste my money and boy was it BAAAAD. Of course Super Cena starred in the movie telling his corny jokes and selling out to the 'younger' fanbase (9- 12 year old kids, usually wear John Cena wristbands, shorts, John Cena t- shirts that go down to their knees and post videos of themselves demonstrating how to do an 'AA' (PG name for the FU -_-) on YouTube.Instead of putting this 'thing' on, put on an old episode of RAW from 1999 or 2000.

Scooby-Doo! WrestleMania Mystery (2014) ** 1/2 (out of 4) The latest mystery has Shaggy and Scooby winning a wrestling video game, which gives them the grand prize of a week at the WWE headquarters. Once there the gang gets involved with the mystery involving a giant glowing bear who is wrecking havoc on the place and plans to ruin the upcoming WrestleMania. The latest movie from Scooby-Doo isn't the greatest and in fact it's a major set back when compared to BIG TOP SCOOBY-DOO but there's no doubt that fans will still want to check it out. While the film remains entertaining for the most part, there's no question that it lacks a certain amount of charm. I'm not sure why on Earth the filmmakers decided to mix in the wrestling stars but it really didn't make for a good combination. I'm not going to lie, I stopped watching wrestling years ago but I thought they could have done a few interesting things with it. Sadly, that really didn't happen as we get the typical types of jokes that you'd expect and of course Shaggy and Scooby eventually have to face down one of the biggest people in the business. The film does have some good stuff in it including the monster bear, which looked excellent and made for a great villain. It's really too bad he wasn't used more. The animation is top-notch as you'd expect and there's no doubt that Scooby is always at the top of his game. The vocal work is good by all, which is another plus. The story itself is pretty standard and it's not too hard to figure out who's going to be behind the mask. Still, even with the flaws, the film manages to be entertaining.
