Scoob is what happens when Hollywood takes a beloved cartoon and gives it the modern CGI treatment—it's shinier, faster-paced, and perfectly competent, but also kind of forgettable.

The friendship origin story is genuinely sweet, and there's nothing here that'll make you regret hitting play. Your kids will be entertained for 93 minutes, you won't be reaching for your phone, and the messages about loyalty and teamwork are solid if predictable.

But let's be real: this isn't going to become anyone's favorite movie. It's the kind of film that serves its purpose on a rainy Saturday afternoon and then fades from memory. The 'epic destiny' angle feels like it's trying too hard to make Scooby-Doo into something more mythological than it needs to be—sometimes a dog and his friends solving mysteries in a van is enough.

Solid middle-of-the-road family viewing that won't offend anyone but won't wow anyone either.
