In Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed, Scooby and the gang lose their cool - and their stellar reputation - when an anonymous masked villain wreaks mayhem on the city of Coolsville with a monster machine that re-creates classic Mystery Inc. foes like The Pterodactyl Ghost, The Black Knight Ghost, Captain Cutler's Ghost and The 10,000 Volt Ghost. Under pressure from relentless reporter Heather Jasper-Howe (ALICIA SILVERSTONE) and the terrified citizens of Coolsville, the gang launches an investigation into the mysterious monster outbreak that leaves Shaggy and Scooby questioning their roles in Mystery Inc. The ever-ravenous duo, determined to prove they're great detectives, don a series of far-out disguises in their search for clues. All signs point to Jeremiah "Old Man" Wickles (PETER BOYLE), the former Black Knight Ghost who was once unmasked by the gang and thrown in jail. Did the creepy wannabe launch the monstrous attack on Coolsville in a diabolical quest for revenge? Meanwhile, brainy Velma (LINDA CARDELLINI) becomes smitten with another key suspect, Coolsonian Criminology Museum curator Patrick Wisely (SETH GREEN), as macho leader Fred (FREDDIE PRINZE JR.) and image-conscious Daphne (SARAH MICHELLE GELLAR) attempt to determine the identity of the Evil Masked Figure whose monster army is wreaking havoc on Coolsville.

Scooby-Doo 2 suffers from a lack of group dynamic, even though there’s no in-fighting in this one and they’re all harmonious.

If you enjoyed the first live-action version, odds are you'll chuckle at this one too. If not, stay far away.

The movie plays every joke down the middle, aiming its dim wit at 5-and-unders, insulting them and whoever was foolish enough to take them on the outing.

What I felt as I watched Scooby-Doo was not the intense dislike I had for the first film, but a kind of benign indifference.

To call this a movie a dog would also be an insult to canines, so let's just say Scooby-Doo 2 is a Scooby-Don't.

You could pass on both Scooby Doo films unless you really have nothing else to do one day. And I mean nothing.

Scooby e Salsicha continuam divertidos, mas, em vez de temerem os monstros que enfrentam, deveriam fugir do medíocre diretor Raja Gosnell.

Giving the dog an afro and forcing him to do the Electric Slide is not a good substitute for a clever attempt at family entertainment.

May be the first film I've ever seen that looks as if it was more humiliating to shoot than it is to watch.

If the first movie acted as a babysitter, this one’s a babysitter who doesn’t get as intoxicated.

By living up to its subtitle, it's at least a vast improvement over its noxious predecessor...

Trust Hollywood to take the homeliest cartoon character [Velma] this side of Olive Oyl, cast a real looker in the part, and then play up her hubba-hubba qualities.

A film so singularly lousy that it almost makes the similarly crappy 2002 original look competent by comparison.
