It's a terrible movie. The laughs aren't there. The stunts are stupid. There's no plot whatsoever.
The monsters are the highlight of the film, and if history is any guide, there will be more ghosts and evildoers for our wholesome heroes to battle in Scooby-Doo 3.
As little as there is to recommend in Scooby-Doo 2, it must be noted that the human cast has done an uncanny job of inhabiting their two-dimensional characters, especially Lillard.
Monstrously silly.
Milder than the 1st, but not Scooby-snack worthy.
I don't see how anyone, even Scooby Doo fans, could really find anything worth even remotely liking with this movie.
You could pass on both Scooby Doo films unless you really have nothing else to do one day. And I mean nothing.
I was very glad when it was over. (Blu-ray Double-Feature Edition)
...just as silly, just as juvenile, just as inane, just as witless, just as dumb as the first movie. (Blu-ray Double-Feature Edition)
The acting is so over the top that any good will developed from the first film is instantly dashed...
Those who got a kick out of seeing Shaggy with big breasts may want to head straight to the "Dancing Dog" feature.
This bellicose, straining mess doesn't even work on the simplest diversionary level.
Audience Reviews for Scooby-Doo 2 - Monsters Unleashed
There is still very childish fart type humour going on, unsurprisingly, which still isn't required as it wasn't in the original cartoon but on the plus side its nice to see ghosts and spooks from the original cartoon used for the plot, always liked that deep sea diver ghost :)
The inclusion of a nice array of phantoms and ghouls only slightly elevates this above the first film but its still quite awful, again...stick to the original cartoon.

Top Critic
There are some improvement here over the first Scooby-Doo film, which was a total disaster, but once again there is also too much of that infamous annoying slapstick, fart jokes and bad CGI to make it all nothing but a cheap and dumb entertainment. Kids will possibly forgive many of it's shortcomings and follow its monster filled plot but parents will suffer most likely. At times the whole film feels like it is becoming another sequel of Ghostbusters but more goofier approach.
Director Raja Gosnell is not a director with that impressive filmography. He has brought us films like Big Momma's House, Home Alone 3 and Smurfs, none of those are not necessarily not that good as an films. Gosnell is clearly director who is making entertainment without any brains. He relies on bad jokes, bad effects and does his job as an director sloppily. Scooby-Doo deserves better film franchise than Gosnell has gave us.
