Scooby-Doo and WWE: Curse of the Speed Demon (DVD)

More like a WWE cartoon guest starring Scooby Doo
To me, this movie feels more like WWE stars do Wacky Races than a Scooby mystery. Yes there's a 'mystery', but it takes a back seat to the WWE antics and racing action. If you like that, you'll enjoy this movie. If you're a Scooby mystery fan, I believe you'll be disappointed. I didn't have high hopes for the original WWE and Scooby collaboration, but was pleasantly surprises and really enjoyed it. Second time around, not so impressed. This is better than some of the recent Scooby movies but still not very high on my overall favorites list.

Well done in some ways but not in others
The overall story and the race in 3 parts is well done. Contrary to some comments, this is not a WWE movie with a bit of Scooby mixed in. There is just as much Scooby as normal. WWE is the main theme no different than having Fred's old summer camp or Egypt be the main theme.GOOD: Story is fun, Villain is awesome, Mystery is actually intriguing, Conclusion is corny but not more than usual, in fact arguably less.BAD: While the Undertaker does good voice acting, the writing for him is at time gringe worthy. It's fun to see him tag up with Scooby and Shaggy but it seems like some of the writing could have been better. If you are not a Pro Wrestling Fan, you can still enjoy this but it's a bit campy and you are going to have to live with this. The first WWE movie was better and less reliant on being into Pro Wrestling IMHO. This animation team which has done several movies uses an incorrect skin color for Daphne and lipstick choice and lack of whitening the eyes leads to an odd, washed out, not particularly attractive version of Daphe. I wish they would drop this. While their attention to shadow and shading is admirable and mostly well done, there are certain scenes where Daphe's skin actually looks an ugly shade of grey. Not even a human color of any race or sun tan or anything. Just a bad, non-human color.

Bring back Mindy and stop making Velma OVERLY jealous!
I loved the DVD! It had a great storyline and did a great job incorporating Mystery Inc and what they are known for as well as WWE and wrestling. I was a little nervous that the wrestling aspect wouldn't really be incorporated in the movie and was happily suprised. I took a star away because I do not like the new voice of Velma. Bring back Mindy!!! She just suites the Velma character so much better. Also I do not like this "jealous girlfriend" attitude she has adapted. I know most view it as a "jealous friend." But to me it is so much stronger and weirder than just losing your beat friend. It needs to stop because they are ruining the Velma character that I love. But overall a solid movie. Really glad to add it to my collection. #ScoobyDooLoverForLife! Excited for the 2018 movie release.

No John Cena....but Undertaker is here!!!
I love everything Scooby- Doo, and I love that they made a second WWE movie so much! My favorite part about this movie is the dynamic between Scooby and Shaggy and The Undertaker. It's so endearing how much they love him but are afraid of him in person. If you watch WWE, you'll know that the Undertaker has a very serious and grim personality, completely the opposite of another fan favorite John Cena, who was featured in the last Scooby Doo/ WWE movie. It's funny to watch The Undertaker interact with our two favorite clowns, and brings back a lot of nostalgia for those of us who used to watch WWE back when The Undertaker was at his peak. I hope they make a third one with The Rock!

More Scooby and the gang. Far less WWE.
Nicely animated movie, in keeping with the traditional drawn style of the show that is. Personally I'm still hoping Warner will some day kick their DTV animations up to full fledged computer animation, like Disney's Tinker Bell. At least the traditional animated style works a lot better for Scooby Doo than it does for their DC DTV offerings. And the colors and contrast really pop on Blu-ray so much more than the over-compressed standard DVD that's included. Featuring a few episodes from the various Scooby TV series as extras was a nice touch.

It's Scooby Doo and it rocks.
Not my favorite Scooby Doo, but still entertaining. The race cars are cool, and it's weird to see pro wrestlers driving race cars. One never knows what will happen in the universe of Scooby Doo.

I actually enjoyed it more than the first
This movie was perfectly okay. I actually enjoyed it more than the first. I think if you had a plot similar to the previous movie with a villain more like the one from this movie and have characters from both in it (especially the Undertaker), and add more elaborate fight and wrestling match scenes, then you'd have the perfect Scooby-Doo/WWE crossover movie. As is, I still like both, with this one being my favorite of the two. One thing that sticks out the most from this movie over the other as stated before is that this one has the Undertaker (my favorite wrestler of all time). He talks in the same tone as he does on wrestling shows and usually does act like he usually would. But in this movie he sometimes says things and acts like I wouldn't expect him to. Sometimes he just seems a too... well, for lack of a better term, animated. Not surprising, though since his role was originally meant for Hulk Hogan (now there's a guy that gets animated). As for everything else, it's perfectly fine. The Scooby Gang is almost always enjoyable to see and the wrestlers are just as goofy and fun as ever. Also, the whole wrestlers doing EXTREME race car theme does sound like something a crackpot like Vine McMahon would think of *cough, cough, XFL, cough*. Overall, I can say this movie is in many ways an improvement over the original and I actually kind of want a third film to be made in hopes they will keep improving with these films(please bring Undertaker back, please).

I loved this movie
I loved this movie! Scooby and Shaggy step up, own their fears, and make a great story of it. I love the WWE stars who are in it and the fun story line. Another great Scooby Movie!
