Reviews for Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed
This is not a review -- how could it be, as the film was not screened for this critic -- have I mentioned that? Instead, here are three alternate storylines...
03/26/04
Scooby-Doo 2 improves on the original, but that's not saying very much at all
03/26/04
it's safe to say the Oscar race ends here. If you're an easily pleased 8-year-old member of the Academy, that is.
03/26/04
The kids'll love all the monsters, which are grotesque without being nightmare-inducing
03/26/04
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.
03/25/04
Sequel is a hard sell and more of less from AOL-Time Warner's rehash division.
03/25/04
A film so singularly lousy that it almost makes the similarly crappy 2002 original look competent by comparison.
03/25/04
I'd be tempted to call the whole thing cartoonish, but that would be insulting to the real thing.
03/25/04
It's a faithful extension of the first movie, which is to say it's crap.
03/25/04
Self-referential humor helps parents get through it, but this one will probably pass faster than its numerous fart jokes.
03/25/04
Another spooky-doo comedy for tykes who think Scooby's doo-doo is funny.
03/25/04
Top CriticThe movie is also far from a train wreck. In fact, at times, it's even kind of ... OK.
03/25/04
Aimed squarely at young viewers, Scooby-Doo 2 makes little effort to please anyone else. Even at 90 minutes, the movie drags.
03/25/04
If you enjoyed the first live-action version, odds are you'll chuckle at this one too. If not, stay far away.
03/25/04
Top CriticLike a slightly better version of the first Scooby movie, this one is content to faithfully reproduce stuff from the cartoons without adding anything.
03/25/04
Scooby-Doo 2 looks like a Saturday morning cartoon and unfortunately feels like one, too.
03/25/04
Top CriticA special effects bonanza that plays like an incredibly elaborate theme park ride, Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed could be a tough go for those not already Scooby-Doo fans.
03/25/04
Top CriticIt's silly stuff, but the cast is likable, and the chemistry between real-life husband and wife Prinze and Gellar is affecting.
03/25/04
Top CriticIt's made for kids and they will absolutely LOVE this! The monsters are as fun as the ones from the original Ghostbusters!
