I enjoyed this Scooby Doo. It is fast paced and entertaining. The animation continues to be top notch and there is no better voice cast. Our family enjoyed the Japanese setting and the story line.
However, it is another entry where the "monster" is real, albeit full of fantasy. I wish the makers of the new Scooby movies would stay with the "Pirates Ahoy" and "Loch Ness" ideas, the traditional type of story where the bad guys are just people. I like the resolution that it gives kids.(No matter how improbable the solutions seem to be for adults!) And it IS what has made the Scooby Doo franchise so successful.
I would rate "Samurai Sword" as way better than the "Goblin King" which we disliked enough to give away, but not nearly as good as "Chill Out"

My 3 year old and my 5 year old love this movie. Anything Scooby Doo is great by them! Buy this and you will probably laugh a few times with your kids. My son started Karate, this really gave him a smile when he saw Scooby and Shaggy doing karate like he does.

Won't let you down.

I am 21 years old who still enjoys watching the Scooby Doo movies and the show. I thought that this is a good movie but I also noitced while watching it that it is very simular, like another reviewer pointed out, to the movie "Scooby Doo and the witches ghost" Even though I think it was a good movie, I still think that it isn't half as good as "Chill out Scooby Doo" I enjoyed watching it, but "Chill Out Scooby Doo" is much better.

This Scooby film is an alright addition to the movie series, but it just didn't really have the same enjoyable feel as previous films. When you first see the gang in the movie the scene appears awkward due to the 3D backgrounds complimented with normal cartoon characters standing in front of them causing a white outline of the characters for a few minutes.

After the beginning of the movie the gang go on a search for the sword of doom. The search and mystery are short due to the film then taking a similar (but much extended) ending to that of a previous Scooby-Doo film. Then Scooby and Shaggy train to become samurai so they can defeat the monster in a small sword fight. I wouldn't recomend this movie unless you don't really mind repeating plots, different animation techniques, or straight to the point conversations with little amusing side conversations as seen in What's New Scooby Doo.

Good movie that keeps the kids watching it. Some of the mystery goes away and is replaced by real paranormal activity but is seems a few of the movies are going in that direction.

Wish they would make more! My kids love them. So do I! I love the way the Mystery Inc kids have to think and plan to solve the mystery. Good for kids.

I was incredibly disappointed in this item. I have downloaded other videos (even other Scooby Doo cartoons) and the image quality was great. The image quality was terrible on this video. Scooby and Shaggy were all yellow - the same color as the majority of the background. Pretty much all of the lead characters were fuzzy and oddly colored. The video was completely unwatchable.

our whole family loves scoody doo and we are trying to get all the dvds made of him...this is such a neat dvd and the cats love him too. thanks

My kids love most all our Scooby dvds, but when I get to decide, I pick this one more than any other. Smart, modern, very well written and acted, great animation, fantastic story, love it!

This is a really cute movie done in the oldstyle cartoon feel with a modern twist. My children have watched this movie several times and enjoy it every time.
