I re-watched this film for the first time in years yesterday, and it was really nothing special. After four animated Scooby-Doo films that took risks and offered us stuff that is new ("Zombie Island" through "Cyber Chase"), we get a forgettable entry that really doesn't do much outside of the old Scooby-Doo formula.

The gang are their usual selves, which is pretty nice, I guess. It was also cool that we get to see the Hex girls again, even if they didn't do much. As usual, we get some funny scenes here and there and I will admit that the design for the vampire was pretty cool.

It doesn't offer much outside of that. The story is typical Scooby-Doo fare, and there wasn't anything to make it feel like a real "movie." This was really nothing more than an extended TV episode. Several Scooby-Doo movies suffer from this, but this is one of the worst cases.

It took too long for the plot to get started. There were too many filler scenes that added nothing and felt like they were there only to pad out the movie's length. The supporting characters aside from the Hex Girls were also nothing to write home about.

The climax in the mountains is kind of routine, and the reveal was nothing shocking. However, I kind of liked the gang performing the Scooby-Doo Theme Song at the end.

This is definitely one of the most by-the-numbers entries in the long-running franchise. I would say it's okay to watch if you've got nothing better to do. However, it isn't really that much worth your time and there are better Scooby-Doo movies out there.

RATING: C

The past Scooby movies have been either great or just okay, but this one was completely confusing. This one was entertaining but it made no sense. The whole plot had me extremely confused. I didn't understand why Daphne and Fred are back to the regular outfits and the villain's plan. They brought the music back in this one so that was nice but sometimes the sounds were too much. Overall, it's watchable but not great.

Well I am and always will be a very big Scooby-Doo fan and ever since I was young I've always enjoyed watching the great Dane along with Shaggy, Fred, Velma, and Daphne but this movie just didn't quiet do it for me. Through the whole movie there are unfunny gags, a very predictable ending, and lack of a good mystery. For the first time ever I was actually bored watching Scooby-Doo.

As Scooby-Doo and gang travel to Sydney, Austraila for a vacation they are taking in the sites and having a great time. They decide to go explore the outback, they come across a rock music festival and go check it out. When arriving in the middle of nowhere to the festival instead of relaxing and listening to good music they hear the legend of the Yowie Yahoo vampire and the missing rock band that have apparently have been turned into vampires, after they hear of the legend they are concerned and decide to try and solve the case. Unlike the previous three Scooby-Doo cartoons instead of using villains that are real, they are just a man in a mask. Along the way they are met with many unfunny jokes, predictable twists and turns, and a very predictable ending.

The plot and setting return to old fashion way by making the villain just a man in a mask. This is a part of the movie that I actually like, it gives the old Scooby-Doo feeling but that does not save the cartoon from being bad.

The storyline this cartoon follows is filled with unfunny jokes, constant flaws, and is very dragged out, the characters are not very interesting and the ending is very predictable.

Even though this cartoon isn't very good it has a very good all star voice cast such as Frank Welker as Scooby-Doo and Fred, Nicole Jaffe as Velma, Heather North as Daphne, and the returning Casey Kasem as Shaggy. Each voice actor does a great job at the character they are playing.

In the end Scooby-Doo and the legend of the vampire isn't the greatest movie ever made but it is far from the worst. Although not all the old big Scooby-Doo fans will like this cartoon many kids will as there are some aspects that are good. So make sure that you read reviews before renting or buying this movie as you may be disappointment but remember everyone has their own opinions.
