LouHomey From my favorite movies..

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

generationofswine Daphne is relevant...she has a place that is more than bait, more than Fred's arm candy, more than a damsel in distress....in fact, Daphne is Bruce Lee.Daphne has Entered the Dragon.The juxtapose of her character is just too awesome to pass by. I can't remember seeing a Daphne like this before. I likely won't see one like this again.For that reason alone it's worth watching...but like so many others, the ending doesn't exactly live up to the start and falls flat compared to the build up.The plus side is, even at the end, Daphne has Entered the Dragon. So despite the lackluster finish that seems of so common with the Scooby Doo movies, you still get to see Daphne doing her Bruce Lee impression in a film that wonderfully parodies the master's break out film.

kyle-mcdonald When I first came across this Scooby Doo adventure I have to say I was a bit sceptical but being a fan I was still excited to sit down and watch. In the end, I found this adventure to be a bit stale compared to some of the previous entries but I found many aspects enjoyable and fun.Scooby and the gang travel to Japan for Daphne's martial arts tournament, while in Japan the ghost of the legendary Black Samurai has returned reeking havoc on Japan. After hearing the legend of the Black Samurai and the Green Dragon, Scooby and the gang decide it is up to them to find the Green Dragon and help them bring down the Black Samurai before he takes over the world.The storyline of this film I have to say was for the most part interesting but many times was very dragged out with long periods of no action or excitement, the film focused to much on telling the back stories of the Black Samurai and the Green Dragon, while the stories were very interesting, after a while they became long and tedious. Once again we stick to the use of real monsters or supernatural beings which I always find interesting. This time around we receive a couple of interesting plot twists which will leave you scratching your head, once you think the gang has solved the mystery and unmasked another evil mastermind...think again. The jokes and gags were great, sometimes they felt as if they were pushed too much but overall not to bad. The characters were all very interesting and all had their own funny quirks which was one of the high points of this adventure.The voice acting was phenomenal, the regulars all once again do a terrific job such as: Frank Welker as Scooby Doo and Fred, Casey Kasem as Shaggy, Mindy Cohn as Velma and Grey Delisle as Daphne. Joining the cast for this adventure: Kelly Hu as Miyumi and Miss Mirimoto, Kevin Michael Richardson as Sojo and the Black Samurai, Sab Shimono as Mr. Takagawa, Keoni Young as Matsuhiro and we even get a cameo from George Takei as Old Man Samurai. All of the cast does an excellent job and really helps the movie with its entertainment.So all in all this adventure was entertaining but was a little too much reliant on back stories, and there just wasn't as much action and excitement one would want in a Scooby Doo cartoon. In my opinion, this one is definitely worth the watch and is good for the whole family.Overall Rating: ******* out of ********** ***1/2 out of *****I would also like to add a fond farewell to the one and only Casey Kasem who retired from the role of Shaggy after this adventure, he will remain in the hearts of many as the original Shaggy and in every way was one of the best entertainers the world has ever seen.

Michael_Elliott Scooby-Doo! And the Samurai Sword (2009) ** (out of 4) The gang travels to Japan so that Daphne can take part in a karate tournament but before long the entire thing is ruined by a group of ninjas who plan to bring back the ghost of The Black Samurai. Obviously the gang tries to determine what's really go on and what led to the supernatural being able to take over. It seems most fans of Scooby-Doo are mixed on some of the latest movies to be made and I must say that this one here didn't win me over. My kid, on the other hand, really enjoyed it but the idea of Scooby and ninjas in the same movie won him over before the thing even started. With that said, when it was over he immediately wanted to watch it again so obviously the film worked for its target audience. I just really didn't enjoy the characters and I thought the villain was also rather lame and didn't add up to much. Like most of the recent movies this one here wants to be more funny than anything else. While some of the jokes worked (like the gang and their catchphrases) the majority of them just fell flat for me. The animation is quite good throughout the picture and I really liked the visual look of the villain as well as the darker tones given to most of the scenes that he was in. I really wish the characters had been better written and this is especially true for Fred, Daphne and Velma. They just never really came to life and for that matter Scooby and Shaggy weren't at the top of their game.

TheLittleSongbird As people may know already I am a huge fan of Scooby Doo, the original(and best) show Scooby Doo! Where Are You? and The Scooby Doo Show being two of many shows to shape my childhood. The various incarnations after have ranged from surprisingly good(Scooby Doo! Mystery Incorporated) to terrible(Shaggy and Scooby Doo! Get a Clue).And I do like the movies a great deal, especially Witch's Ghost, Goblin King and Zombie Island. Alongside Goblin King and Abracadabra Doo, Samurai Sword, even with the flaws, is one of Scooby's better recent efforts.The movie is too short, the plot rather haphazard and meandering and the music rather uninspired and rushed in places.Complaints aside, the animation is great. The colours and backgrounds have a colourful and fluid quality to them, and the character designs are thankfully not at all crude. The writing and jokes are amusing, and the samurai fighting is well choreographed and maintains interest. The characters, lead and support, are likable and fun and the voice acting is excellent with nobody really I would consider bad.In conclusion, an entertaining movie. 7/10 Bethany Cox
