This is another entertaining enough 'Movie' that sees the gang going to a comic convention, and a mystery of course then developing.
These 'original movie's' that Warner Brothers churn out to DVD are hit and miss affairs, but this one on the whole is good fun, with Matthew Lillard and Fred Welker on good form as Shaggy and Scooby. I didn't like what they did to the character of Velma though.
While not spectacular, this is a decent Scooby outing.

A decent Scooby outing.
Scooby-Doo and the faded superhero...
Having grown up watching Scooby-Doo on weekend morning TV and having a son that loves Scooby-Doo as well, then it took no convincing of me to sit down and watch "Scooby-Doo! Mask of the Blue Falcon" when my son asked me to watch it with him.
"Scooby-Doo! Mask of the Blue Falcon" is true to every other Scooby-Doo animated adventure, for better or worse. Sure, there is the familiarity aspect to it, but at the same time there is also something new, as it was quite nice to see superheroes make an appearance in a Scooby-Doo adventure.
The animation is good and the art style is very much in tune with the traditional art that defined Scooby-Doo ever since the early beginning.
As it always is with a Scooby-Doo animated movie, the voice acting is great, and they got a good ensemble of cast members to perform the voices of the various characters. It is always nice to have the familiar voices of Frank Welker, Mindy Cohn, Grey DeLisle and Matthew Lillard in these movie.
There is an abundance of references and nods towards other Hanna-Barbera cartoons. And it was actually a fun way that they put them into this particular Scooby-Doo adventure.
"Scooby-Doo! Mask of the Blue Falcon" is definitely one of the better animated Scooby-Doo movies I have seen in a while.
My rating of "Scooby-Doo! Mask of the Blue Falcon" is 6 out of 10 stars.
An Honest Review
Would it be fair to say: "They had me at 'hello'"? Here we have Scooby Doo catering to comic book nerds like me, the type of adult fan boys that remember when Magneto ran the X-Men, the type of fan boys that still drool over the classic Hannah-Barbara superhero cartoons that warped us as children, molding us into fanboys even though most of them came out a decade or two before we were born...
And Scooby Doo goes to a comic con full of references to those beloved cartoons, even dressing as one of the characters in a Scooby-Cosplay.
Then, the Big Bad is in the same vein as the classic Scooby and...my floor is covered with drool and my girlfriend is wondering what she's doing with a ten-year-old stuck in an adult's body.
it is super fun, it is a total throw back to the Classic Scooby of old...and unlike the Goblin King, is still has enough to appeal to the fans that were created from the movies and not from the old cartoons.
