Scooby-Doo! Aventures en Transylvanie

On one hand it was boring....

But on the other hand, Transylvania, Pennsylvania is sort of a classic Scooby location, at least in spirit, so there is that attempt to appeal to the old Scooby Fans.

And the towns people were a great source of humor, especially their exchanges with Velma's family, so again, there is that working out for it.

And the plot twisted enough to seem like a Classic Scooby cartoon.

the downside is, few of the jokes really stuck and the songs were so-so. The humor just wasn't there to save it and with Scooby, the movies can't be sold on plot alone, people are fans because they are kid-scary and funny at the same time.

Frankencreepy just wasn't really funny.

This was the strangest Scooby movie I have ever seen. I don't understand why every time I watch it, it freaks me out. The whole vibe is off and the characters are there but the story feel unreal. The quick shots that they took throughout the movie got to be really annoying when it kept happening. The characters were weird and the movie just didn't feel complete. The message was great in this movie and it was something I liked. I found myself laughing a lot at the jokes. I have to say that the best character of the whole film was Fred. He really became not just the leader but the thinker of the group too. The twist at the end was fantastic and added a nice touch. Overall, this movie was just strange.

Scooby-Doo! Frankencreepy (2014)

** (out of 4)

Incredibly disappointing feature has Velma inheriting her great-great-uncles castle in Transylvania, which has a curse on it. As soon as the gang heads off to see it, the Mystery Machine is blown to pieces by a strange phantom wearing a mask. Once in Transylvania it's clear that someone wants revenge on Velma and the gang.

After the slightly disappointing WRESTLEMANIAC MYSTERY, this latest feature is without question one of the worst. That's not to say that the film isn't worth viewing for fans of the series but there's no question that the film offers very little in regards to entertainment. I will say that there are a few good ideas scattered around but sadly none of them add up to very much and in the end I couldn't help but keep looking at my watch wondering when the film was going to be over.

The film tries to do a few new things but I just didn't find anything of them overly interesting. One of the new things was to have the characters all appear in a different form. Shaggy and Scooby turned into brave creatures who don't like to eat. Fred was a whining cry-baby throughout the picture. Daphne turned into an obese woman with awful hair. Then there's Velma who turned into a sexy boss. You'd think some of these changes would be fun but I thought the screenplay was so bland that this stuff was more annoying than anything else. In fact, I'd say this is the absolute worse I've ever seen the Fred character.

The biggest sin committed by this movie is the fact that it's simply deadly boring. I don't think I'm going to call this the worst thing to deal with Scooby-Doo but there's no question that there's no energy, no passion and there's just nothing working with this thing. The film adds some footage from the original television show and there's a nice twist at the very end but it's really too bad these weren't used for a better purpose. I won't spoil the ending but it was a clever little idea that should have been used in a much better picture.

Scooby and the gang come across the legend of the Frankenstein Monster, this movie has a nice story interconnected with Velma's ancestors, she being a descendant of them but as the story progresses the gang find it very hard to outsmart this mystery because it was mainly an undercover scheme by some of the famous classical Scooby villians half a century ago, now coming back to take out the gang based on redemption, vengeance and revenge. Like Shaggy said in the end: you got so greedy for revenge that you forgot to be greedy for money as they also had a plan to usurp the money of the estate where they had invited the gang . A very nice movie.

Watched another SCOOBY-DOO direct-to-video movie this one is 23rd in franchise (out of total 32movies) and released in 2014, named SCOOBY-DOO FRANKENCREEPY, and my 5th movie. I love scooby-doo animated series, alongwith many others like Courage, Dexter, Shaun the Sheep and Disney. This movie is a good one, as sticking to franchise's central theme, Scooby Doo and team were asked to go to Velma's ancestral house in Transylvania Pennsylvania since Velma's uncle died and left her a big property but villagers didn't liked them due to her uncle's monstrous activity (he built a monster) and now they say that the uncle's ghost is hunting the town. The mystery is well arranged and a better mystery than other movies I watched, also I found a different treatment to this movie, fast-cut-put together edited scenes like watching a fast go-through the happenings or flashbacks. I rate 4/5.
