Negative Positive
Title: Good potential, but horribly flawed
Review: The idea for this movie certainly had promise, and it's not like the idea (what would Scooby-Doo be like if the monsters were real?) couldn't be successful--Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island is clearly enjoyable. However, despite some strong points (the major plot twist isn't bad, and Tim Curry is better than memorable until overacting ruins it near the end), the plot drags in the middle and the big climax could have used some of the time the middle didn't need.Also, there's a big build-up to the song the Hex-Girls (the Wiccan band mentioned in a few other reviews) are going to perform, and the show makes the mistake of having them actually perform it at the end. The song alone is bad enough that it moves me from not being sure whether to give this movie two or three stars to making it clear that it doesn't deserve more than two.If you want to get one of these new Scooby-Doo movies, skip this one and get Zombie Island instead.
Is the review positive or negative?
