Daphne & Velma - Il mistero della Ridge Valley High

I was looking for a Scooby Doo movie... ended up getting a cheap fan fiction. I did enjoy it though. Badly written plot and very bad execution. Scooby Doo is usually predictable when it comes to the ghost but this just yelling out who it is from the beginning of the movie. Characters have been changed from what we knew as kids. And all the characters were really badly made. Can't complaint too much about the acting because they've tried to get the old Scooby Doo feel to it which they failed epicly at. The CGI and vfx are extremely poor compared to other 2018 movies. Never expected such a bad movie from Warner Bros.

So, I can't understand, why do a live action without Scooby-Doo! For me doesn't work, the two characters could be anyone, the only thing that you think "oh, okay they are of Scooby-Doo" is the clothes and something about your personality, but all rest is to much cliche. The mistery isn't so cool, and your resolution is ok. I just hope that give us another movie but with all the gang. Pleaaaaase.

Starts off already but starts failing after the first 30 minutes and then goes into major sinkhole territory during the final act. What a shame, because they looked like they had the budget to pull this off.

I sat down to watch this movie with my 8 year old son, whom is a big fan of Scooby Doo and the Mystery Gang.

Let's just say that he left after about 15 minutes of suffering through the torture method that is known as "Daphne & Velma", while I managed to endure 45 minutes of this garbage.

Right, well there was so many things wrong with this.

First, the movie was lacking a proper storyline and seemed like director Suzi Yoonessi was given no limitations and just put together a series of random segments here and there. Sarah Jeffery, playing Daphne, looked nothing like the cartoon character in any way, except for their hair color, and it didn't help that she was stumbling through what were supposed to pass as being acting. Sarah Gilman, playing Velma, fared little better in the acting department, but at least they made her look very much like the cartoon character.

The characters in the movie were one-dimensional cardboard cut out figures that offered absolutely nothing to the storyline. And they were so irrelevant that you didn't even bother about them in any way.

"Daphne & Velma" was also hindered by an abysmal set of dialogue. Wow, it was such a pain to listen to.

According to the synopsis, then this movie was supposed to take place before the gang all got together to form the Mystery Gang. Right, well plausible enough. But no! Then the movie should be set in the time according to prior to the first Scooby Doo episode, which it clearly was not if you look at all the gadgets and technology in the movie. That was just a downright horrible flaw to the movie. Sure, they attempted to appeal to the audience today, but good luck getting the youngsters to raise their heads from their phones and tablets long enough to get any interest in this derailed movie project.

This movie was a swing and an atrocious miss. Not going to bother coming back to this. In fact, I will pretend I never saw those God awful 44 minutes and not let it taint my view on the legacy of Scooby Doo and the Mystery Gang.

I think this is what happens when STEM funding gets used for the arts?

It's pretty bad but my daughter liked it so I guess that makes it not a 1
