Yes, this film really is just one long chase scene. Yes, Fred is becoming more of an idiot with every passing straight to DVD film. Though he wasn't much better in 'Scoob'.
Anyone who didn't like the aforementioned reboot of Scooby on the big screen and hoped that this would be a return to 'normal' Scooby Doo fun will probably still be disappointed.
This is modern, "the monsters may just be real" Scooby Doo, with the characters changing to fit this ethos. This in itself will be a turn off for many.
If you can embrace the new (and I don't think we have much choice) then you'll find enough moments to enjoy here to warrant the running length.
