Not just for kids, the hilarious and perfectly cast live-action Scooby-Doo movies of the 2000s are one of the best live-action remakes of all time.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT While they may get a bad reputation, the live-action Scooby-Doo movies of the early 2000s are actually great. With franchise reboots in abundance, and rarely executed well, these movies are a great example of how to do it right. The original live-action Scooby-Doo films managed to capture the essence of the cartoons while adding a different spin to the characters, resulting in some of the best comedy movies of the early 2000s.
8 The Amazing Scooby-Doo Cast Playing the central gang are Linda Cardellini as Velma, Matthew Lillard as Shaggy, the now real-life couple Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr. as Daphne and Fred, respectively, and Neil Fanning as the voice of Scooby. All of them perfectly bring these character's quirks to life, finding ways to give hints of the original cartoon characters through their voices, while still making the roles their own.
5 Clever Scooby-Doo Franchise Throwbacks One of the reasons the films are so great areisat they work as both an introduction to these characters and as a continuation for the series' already many fans. For those who are familiar with the original TV shows, the movies host a ton of outright references, as well as clever easter eggs. There's the use of the Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! title song in the first movie's opening.
4 Hard-To-Solve Scooby-Doo Mysteries Beyond his ability with comedy, James Gunn did a great job of writing mysteries that felt like they came straight out of the show. The film's mysteries were complicated, and riddled with red herrings to keep the audience guessing. Not only did Gunn nail the intrigue and excitement of the film's whodunnits, but he also managed to always bring them back to the script's real focus - the gang and their friendships.
