I thought it was pretty good, except it got boring around the middle. Great for kids!

What Parents Need to Know
About Scooby-Doo and the Samurai Sword
Parents need to know that there are many fight scenes in this straight-to-DVD Scooby-Doo movie -- "samurai" and "sword" are part of the title, after all. Some of the images of the Black Samurai are frightening: He has blazing eyes and sharp fangs, and his presence is larger than life. Themes of master and apprentice take on a master and servant tone, which might be a little off-putting to some parents.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about what it means to be a true master. Is it someone who controls other people, or someone who teaches others? Do you have mastery in any particular field? How can you gain mastery? Does it take practice, or does it happen magically?
- How does this movie compare to other Scooby-Doo movies or TV series you've seen?

Decent
This movie is a decent movie that uses the same formula as all the other lame direct-to-dvd Scooby Doo movies. Hoewver, this one is more violent than the other ones as there is actual swords used. I only rated this 3-stars as there's more violence, but no blood or gore.
