Awful...should have been called "SCOOBY DOO THE MOVIE"

Rating: 1/10 (19 March 2001)

This movie was absolutely terrible. It is a fictionalized account of some events that actually happened. This movie in many ways is like the old Scooby Doo cartoons. The "medling kids" set out to solve a mystery. After they gather some clues and start getting close to solving the mystery, the bad guy shows up wearing a beige trench coat and fedora (just like they always did in the cartoon) and warns them to back off. Of course, they don't, so the bad guy sabotages their car (Mystery Machine) and as they are driving, the wheel falls off! There are so many similarities to the old Scooby Doo cartoons that I find it very difficult to believe the director did not parody the cartoon on purpose. Further more, most of the the movie is done via Denzel's narration, as his character recounts the story of Hurrican Carter's life. This movie drags on and on and ON! It is extremely boring. I found myself interested in the movie when it first started, but soon I was seeing through the over-dramatic bull crap and I was repulsed. This is a terrible movie and should be avoided at all costs. I gave this one a one out of 10 possible points, only because I cannot vote in negative integers.
