if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
... View MoreThere are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
... View MoreStory: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
... View MoreIt is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
... View MoreThis movie is like eating Scooby snacks laced with acid. And I so enjoyed the trip it sent me on.
... View MoreNot sure who wrote this but sh!t it is a stinker. I literally stopped watching after 6 minutes, I think that is a new record for me. There was so much sh!t about the rock band KISS just in the first 6 minutes, it was annoying as anything. I know KISS is in the stupid title of this movie but come on. It just came off as pathetic pandering to mindless KISS fans who will automatically like anything with the logo of this overrated band on it. I mean dammit, was this written by a 5 year old KISS fan or something? I usually like Scooby-Doo cartoons, they're for children but they are more of the sophisticated kiddy cartoons out there (if you get what I'm saying). But this was like written for a simpleton or something. I know what you're going to say, but you only watched 6 minutes and a few seconds of the film, how can you even judge it? I'll tell you right now why I can judge it after just 6 minutes of viewing it. When the plot is super-simple, the dialogue reads like a 5 year old wrote it (I am not even joking. I am willing to bet you that the dialogue in the first 6 minutes of the film used a word with more than 5 letters in it) and there is never a second where you don't see anything not related to KISS on the screen, then you know the movie is going to p!ss you off. But like I said before, KISS fans will buy anything. KISS is really an impressive band in that they should be a one hit wonder but they sell themselves so well. Even the whole Scooby gang mystery team are all wearing KISS clothing and make-up, I can not believe someone actually signed off on this film.
... View MoreI love the Scooby Doo series and movies. This movie was different the art was excellent and the visuals and animation was colorful and great. A Korean company Digital eMation Inc did a lot on this film along with others. There is a lot of action, and suspense confusing at times There is also lots of Kiss music as the characters are chased.I felt the characters especially Kiss and the females were drawn too sexy. At the end the women in costumes had breast too big for kids cartoon or for even me I found it kind of offensive.The musical group "Kiss" that was popular over 20 years was in this with their painted faces. I did not like their music years ago or their painted faces and I did not like them in this movie. I don't know why this group was included with Scooby Doo to make a movie unless it is because of the Halloween season. The Scooby characters were basically the same Frank Welker,Mindy Cohn,Grey Griffin and Matthew Lillard all very good and funny.Penny Marshall who played years ago in Lavern and Shirley was "The Elder" who was supposed to be a strong good character spoke with a lisp which did not sound good.What was really funny is the regular Scooby characters like Scooby and Shaggy their hunger and shaking in fear is comical. Velma is still the one with the commence and brains.The movie is over an hour. The gang solves the mystery.
... View MoreContent: Super-Awesome. Other than 1 or 2 of the McFarlane action figures and a handful of the McFarlane comic books, I really have never owned any of KISS's stuff. I neither loved nor hated their music, but admired their merchandising strategy and as someone who spent the 90′s working in a Heavy Metal record store, we made sure to order every crazy KISS item we could.But after watching this movie it is hard to not be a KISS fan. I found myself singing Rock N Roll All Night while cutting open the packaging. KISS songs are peppered throughout the movie and they all sound great. The cartoon versions of the band are thinner and younger than their real-life counterparts and possess super-powers. Everything the band does in this movie is mind-blowingly cool.The Scooby Doo end of this movie is spot on and done to perfection. And when Shaggy and Scooby take The Demon's advice, I cheered very loud because it was super-cool. Fred and Daphne have some great stuff with 2 love triangles involving The Star Child and the scientist lady that makes Fred pull out his creepy evil smile at one point. Velma gets some one-on-one time with The Spaceman as she grips tightly to hold on to her skepticism.Only having read a few of the Psycho Circus comics, I am not sure what lore other comics created for KISS, but this movie expands the mythos surrounding the band in exciting, imaginative and fairly logical ways. The titles of Songs, Albums and more take on deeper meanings. The movie keeps pushing the boundaries on what you could possibly expect from it.Bruce Kulick did tweet a post about how this movie does give a shout out to past members of KISS. There is a screen-shot and if you are familiar with the lore of KISS, it is right there.Special Features: Good. KISS Cut-Ups is just out takes of KISS doing some promotion for this movie. The finished version of which is not on this release. These bloopers are not really funny.Are You A Scooby or a Shaggy? is KISS, Abby from NCIS and Jay & Silent Bob saying if they relate more to Scooby or Shaggy. Points to Thayer for his out of the box answer, even if he can't land on the exact name.Trailers: Nothing new. Opens with Legos: DC Heroes: Attack of the Legion of Doom. (first seen on Tom & Jerry vs Jonny Quest) and Tom & Jerry vs Jonny Quest. In the Special Features section trailers for Scooby Doo vs WWE and Lego Dimensions which may be a video game, but the trailer features Joel McHale. (Amazon has 2 different trailers, one feat. Christopher Lloyd as Doc Brown.) (BTW DC Lego movies have more action and less dumb comedy than Star Wars Lego movies.)Blu Ray special features also include 2 episodes from the 3rd season of Scooby Doo Where Are You (Part of the Scooby Doo/Dynomutt Hour) S03E04 To Switch A Witch and S03E11 The Diabolical Disc Demon.Buy/Don't Buy: Yes. Buy. This movie does not disappoint in any way. I want more. This is a great format for KISS. Our passport to the KISS realm is the Scooby gang so KISS gets to be mysterious. I would love it if Warner Animation created a Hanna Barbera-style cartoon series for Cartoon Network with a group of Mystery Solving Teens who summon KISS whenever they find themselves in trouble. Like the Godzilla Power Hour with the trouble alert.
