1. Scooby Doo(the 2002 live action movie); after watching some of the Scrappy episodes over again, I'm not very fond of how they portrayed him in the movie. Plus they made the characters really dumb at certain points, in addition to the way the gang broke up and how they treated one another at certain points.
2. Scooby Doo and the Goblin King; I hated that the focus seemed to be on Shaggy and Scooby, plus the fact that Fred, Daphne and Velma's memories were wiped at the end just stunk. In addition to that, Fred and the girls were monsters for a short period of time and didn't do anything; if I were writing that movie, I would have had a bigger focus on them and have them do something as monsters other then standing around. Lastly, the plot had a lot of things that could have been improved without question.
3. It would have to be a tie between Arabian Nights, Aloha Scooby Doo, Scooby Doo Pirates Ahoy and Chill Out Scooby Doo. Arabian Nights wasn't a Scooby movie at all, while Aloha Scooby Doo, Scooby Doo Pirates Ahoy, and Chill Out Scooby Doo all had plot elements that had already been used many times before; truthfully, there should have been different movies made with better plots that hadn't been reused then the ones I mentioned.
Honorable Mention: Scooby Goes Hollywood; I know it was an hour long special in 1979 and not a movie, but I just have never really liked it. Maybe it's because of the spoof nature of it or maybe the fact that it was in the year Scrappy was introduced, or something else.
Whatever the reason, I just never really liked Scooby Goes Hollywood.

Tough one
The New Scooby Doo Movies (yes pretty much all of them) The first live action film Aloha Scooby Doo, Scooby Doo Pirates Ahoy and Chill Out Scooby Doo all quite weak overall.

1. The Mystery Begins / Curse of the Lake Monster - Robbie Amell is a huge reason I don't like these movies. He was not a good Fred. I didn't like Hayley Kiokyo as Velma either. There were also too many differences between the show and this movie. 2. Arabian Nights - is this even considered a Scooby movie? 3. Music of the Vampire - I did not like the musical aspect of the movie. It was too cheesy for me!

I see a lot of people didn't like the singing in Song of the Vampire, although it wasn't great i didn't think it was all that bad and kind of interesting. I also really liked Chill Out, Aloha, and Pirates Ahoy so that is a little disappointing. So i guess my worst three would be 1. Goblin King- just thought this movie was a mess, really almost hated it and that made me feel bad because i love scooby 2. Cyber Chase- did not like the whole sucked into a computer thing 3. Samurai Sword- had some good aspects, and i really like some of the characters, but overall the scooby feel just wasn't there for me
Honerable: i do not include arabian nights, do not like Scooby Doo the movie for the way they protrayed scrappy

The Goblin King, so bad it is not even wrong. So bad it doesn't even deserve the honour of being called 'worst'.

I remember watching it and thinking this just makes no sense. When they first encountered the magic goings on in the tent (where Velma fainted as her rational mind overloaded) I had quite high-hopes, it looked like an interesting idea but just fell to bits after that. A lot of interesting ideas just stuffed together with out anyone taking the time to join the bits together.

1. Alien Invaders 2. Witch's Ghost 3.(Worst) Music of the Vampire As for Arabian Nights, I don't even consider that as a Scooby movie, since it had about 10 seconds of Scooby in it. Doo, why do you not like Alien Invaders and Witch's Ghost? I like those movies.

They were pretty plot-thin compared to the movies that came before and after them (Zombie Island, Cyber Chase, etc.).

Goes Hollywood- The first time I started watching this I turned of the DVD player in the middle of it. I did end up watching all of it, but it just seemed very strange to me. 2. Mystery Begins- I bought the DVD but later ended up breaking it because I hated the movie so. 3. (Worst) Curse of the Lake Monster- The first (and only) time I watched this movie I cried during it because I found it to be that terrible. I don't even consider number 2 and 3 to be Scooby-Doo movies because there are too many contradictions to believe in them. Contradictions the movies brought up involving how the gang got together can be found here: scoobyaddicts.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=1194More on my feelings of those two movies can be found here: scoobyaddicts.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=movies&action=display&thread=1164

A lot of interesting ideas just stuffed together with out anyone taking the time to join the bits together. Agreed russm. For me, when I first saw it I was going into it with the expectation that Fred, Daphne and Velma were going to see real magic and real monsters and not run away or it would be a cop out or something and the three of them wouldn't stick around to see if the monsters and real supernatural creatures were nice or not. But this movie had none of that; when Velma fainted in the tent, that in my mind was it for the movie. Even Fred and the girls being monsters for a short time didn't save the film for me. If I were writing the movie, I definitely would have Fred and the girls in bigger roles, and I definitely would have the three of them accept that there are real ghosts, magic and monsters out there and not run away. In the original CBS series at least, there were a few times when the gang encountered real supernatural type creatures(Jeannie, the Addams Family) and most of the time they didn't run away. In that era, it seemed as if Scooby and the gang were cool with genies, and ghosts and monsters, at least the friendly ones. But ever since then(with the exception of 13 Ghosts), the gang seemed to not even try and see if there were real ghosts that were friendly. Even in the Scrappy episodes with Fred and Velma, it seemed at first that the gang were accepting of real ghosts and monsters(especially during the middle part of the Halloween episode at Dracula's castle). But of course the writers decided to go back to the norm, and have Fred and the girls be afraid of real monsters and the supernatural and not stay to see if they were nice or not. I really think if the gang got to know some of the ghosts and supernatural beings out there that were friendly, they might like them. Like if the gang ever met a friendly witch or warlock(like Sabrina Spellman or Samantha from Bewitched), I think they would like them because they're friendly, but they have magic. At least all that is what I think would happen, or should happen.

Well, I didn't like how it was too "realistic" and more like live-action instead of a cartoon (the sound effects also sounded more like real life instead of how they usually sound in a Scooby-Doo cartoon, especially that LOUD THUNDER when Scooby and Shaggy enter the magic shop.) But it was still a decent romp; I especially liked that werewolf that Tim Curry voiced (who else would want to see Tim Curry play a werewolf in a live-action movie?) My worst three? Lemme think, with the worst of the three on the top... 1. ARABIAN NIGHTS (obviously; it felt more like a bad episode of "Animaniacs" than a Hanna-Barbera cartoon) 2. ALOHA SCOOBY-DOO (too slow and unoriginal, and was basically a 70-minute episode of "What's New Scooby-Doo") 3. MUSIC OF THE VAMPIRE (all the Disney-esque singing really messed it up, along with it being more like "Daphne: the Music")

1) "Boo Brothers" -- horrible stereotypes of Southern characters, plus the Three Stooges as ghosts.
2) "Scooby-Doo" (live action) - trashed all the characters, not just Scrappy
3) "Legend of the Vampire" - didn't work for me, unlike "Music of the Vampire," which I enjoyed.
I'd also say the "Arabian Knights", but it sounded so awful I just stayed away from it completely.
