brendalaIf you want to check out the movie early (and you live in the USA or Canada), here's your chance!
The movie can't be embedded; but here's the YouTube link.

===========REVIEW (with spoilers)===============
-I don't like the new band they got to write the intro song. The music in this movie isn't nearly as catchy and awesome as the other two
-The scene in the diner with Scooby and the coffee was just gold!
-Speaking of Scooby, I'm glad to see this series of movies has him and Velma acting like buddies again.
-OK, the 'Shaggy vs the Bikers' scene officially tops the badassery of Shaggy punching out the Joker in that Batman:Brave and the Bold episode!
-Speaking of the Joker. Now we know why Velma never wears make up. Yeesh! >_<
-Sadly, it was painfully obvious who the villain would be the moment Velma made googly eyes at him.
-I know Daphne is supposed to be a bit clumsy/ditzy in this cannon. But her leaving the paint stripper on seemed like a REALLY uncharastically stupid move (even by "Danger Prone Bimbo" standards). She acted fairly smart throughout this movie (even picking up Velma's slack while Velma was mooning over her doppelganger); but she didn't think that letting that machine continue belching fire while the gang ran deeper into the caves would have ANY negative repercussions!? I think the writers were just being lazy with that scene.
-Best line of the movie! XD
Fred: "Shaggy! If you don't do it, we're all gonna die! No pressure!!"
-I'm not sure if that mass hypnosis ending was funny or just weird. I think it's somewhere in the middle.
-Last but not least...
OK, ship preferences aside, I can't be the only one who is TREMENDOUSLY creeped out by the fact that Velma fell in love with someone who looks like he could be her twin brother! That's just...ewww! Seriously, aside from a total narcissist, what kind of girl would want to date a dude who is basically her sans breasts!?
And asking if they can date again after he gets out of jail was really pathetic. You can do better, Velma!!
Overall, the movie was okay. The animation and action scenes were great and Badass-Shaggy was fun to watch. And it was neat to watch Daphne and Fred essentially solve the case themselves.
But, on the flipside, the mystery was lame and predictable and it was creepy to watch Velma date someone who looks like he's related to her. I'm not against her having non-Shaggy love interests (one of my crack ships is Velma/Omar), but at least make them more compelling than that loser!.

I wonder if a future movie will feature her throwing up her hands and shouting "I get the hint, universe! I'm gonna give up on men and start dating girls! ARE YOU HAPPY NOW!!?".
