We Got This CoveredMatt DonatoMay 15, 2020
Scoob! is an enjoyable-enough start to the Hanna-Barbera cinematic universe, but may leave Mystery Inc. superfans feeling robbed of the Scooby-centric reboot that such a title suggests. Read full review

PolygonJesse HassengerMay 15, 2020
The movie is brisk, good-natured, and amusing, but these aren’t qualities that demand the resurrection of a low-rent cartoon empire. The charm of Scooby-Doo and his friends doesn’t have anything to do with the world of bizarre Hanna-Barbera TV curiosities they helped spawn. It comes from their mysterious ability to survive well past their seeming expiration date. Read full review

TheWrapSteve PondMay 16, 2020
If there’s something you remember, or liked, about any iteration of “Scooby-Doo,” you’ll probably find it, or a joke about it, in Scoob! It gets to be a little tiring, but maybe it helps all this frantic silliness go down just a little easier, too. Read full review

Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperMay 15, 2020
The occasionally clever dialogue and the peppy voice performances are the best things about Scoob!, but not nearly enough to overcome the loud and convoluted overall tone. Read full review

The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Barry HertzMay 15, 2020
Despite its half-decade worth of aspirations to be something, Scoob! is a middle-ground of nothingness. Toss it a bone, if you wish – just know that your stay-at-home kids will be fighting over other, more interesting scraps soon enough. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesJustin ChangMay 15, 2020
Scoob! was never going to be a great musical, but did it have to turn out to be just another superhero movie? Read full review

The Irish TimesTara BradyJul 10, 2020
Frustratingly, there are some good jokes and ideas buried in the aesthetically displeasing Scoob!. Read full review

EmpireAl HornerJul 9, 2020
Zoinks! The Great Dane’s big-screen return has murderous robot bowling pins, escapades in abandoned amusement parks and exciting airborne chase sequences — but nowhere near the joke-rate an enduring character like Scoob demands. Read full review

SlashfilmJosh SpiegelMay 18, 2020
Maybe if there wound up being a second animated film featuring Scooby and Shaggy, it might actually tell a story where they solve a supernatural mystery with their friends in the Mystery Machine. For now, all we have is this forgettable, lazy, pandering superhero film. Read full review

Rolling StoneDavid FearMay 16, 2020
The original cartoon’s credit sequence, redone with modern computerized shininess, is indeed a gas to witness. The rest is basically corporate synergy, canine shenanigans, and hot air. Zoinks, indeed. Read full review

CNNBrian LowryMay 15, 2020
Granted, Scoob! appears more into recycling than reinvention -- it's more a snack than a meal -- but it does endeavor to make an old concept fresh and cool again in children's eyes. That might answer the question why the movie exists, but based on the results, nothing here merits an exclamation point. Read full review

ScreenCrushMatt SingerMay 15, 2020
The movie just doesn’t seem that interested in doing anything with them beyond polishing up some dusty IP for another shot at the mainstream. Read full review

Arizona RepublicBill GoodykoontzMay 15, 2020
Scoob! is a poorly written, nonsensical animated update of the Scooby gang. Read full review

The GuardianBenjamin LeeMay 15, 2020
While a younger audience might be enthralled by the fast pace and bright colour palette, those understandably curious adults sitting nearby will find themselves watching in horror, a deep, sorrowful howl emerging. Read full review

VarietyPeter DebrugeMay 15, 2020
This attractive but calculated attempt to connect 'Scooby-Doo' to other Hanna-Barbera characters abandons the show's fun teen-detective format. Read full review
