Aims directly at young Scooby-philes, playing it straight and corny and evoking nostalgic memories of episodes past.

Reviews for Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed
I won't go so far as to say Scooby-Doo 2 is fun for the entire family, but if you've got a 10-year-old underfoot who needs entertaining, you could have a worse time.
03/26/04
Slightly more digestible than its predecessor.
03/26/04
Little more than 91 minutes of cheesy special effects in search of a remotely coherent story.
03/26/04
The rapidly aging cast is clearly in it for the cash, with not a single one fully committed to the task.
03/26/04
The first film was tedious in the extreme; Monsters Unleashed, though it feels way too long and padded, it shows at least brief flashes of imagination.
03/26/04
A fairly watchable 88 minutes of filmmaking.
03/26/04
Those who got a kick out of the first film, be it through nostalgia or kidly wonder, will probably find its sequel an equally entertaining, silly, campy, comic diversion that clips along at an engaging pace.
03/26/04
While Scooby 2 is probably no worse or better than the first installment, the freshness has definitely worn off.
03/26/04
When the best you can say about a sequel to a bad movie is that it's a tiny bit better, there are definite problems.
03/26/04
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.
03/26/04
Top CriticZoinks! It's a rare case of a sequel being better than the original. Maybe by the time they get around to Scooby-Doo 3, they'll get it right.
03/26/04
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.
03/26/04
Amid [the] barrage of soulless special effects, you may glimpse Seth Green, Alicia Silverstone and Tim Blake Nelson making mental notes to fire their agents.
03/26/04
More loyal to the classic show than the first film, Scooby-Doo finds his live-action niche in the highly entertaining sequel.
03/26/04
“Scooby Doo” is back with an inconceivable feat: it’s a worse movie than the first.
03/26/04
In the sequel no one needs to see, the Scooby Gang grapples with the stress of stardom.
03/26/04
Pratfalls and passing gas are your only reward.
