No one is going to call Scooby-Doo 2 high art, but thanks to some outstanding production design and an even tighter grasp on the source material than the original film had, it's a treasure trove for fans.

Rated: 4/5

I can't say that I'm hoping for a long series of these films, but I've seen far worse sequels than this one.

Rated: 2.0/4.0

Scooby Doo 2 is loud and colorful and does have Matthew Lillard doing an impressive impersonation of Scoobys best pal Shaggy, but theres really not much else going on.

Rated: D-

This movie is the scariest thing I've seen in my life. I loved it. I was so scared I was pooping myself NONSTOP it was like a scary horror volcanoe in my underwear. The dance scene was so well coreagraphed it makes broadway and west end look foolish. I highly recommend this movie to people looking for a wonderful thrill. #spooky #poop #scooby dooby dance off

Terrible script and even worse visual effects. However, it's a fun movie to watch on a Saturday night.

The CGI was way worse on this one. 1/5 Stars. Again, they just should've made it a cartoon movie.

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars

Taking the few things that worked from it's predecessor and dumbing them down beyond belief, this sequel feels more like a highly budgeted cartoon than a movie.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

I used to love this movie when I was a kid. Now, I watch it with my daughter, and it's just as silly as it was back then. Scooby Doo is my favorite cartoon character, and now, I get to enjoy the live action movies of my childhood with my kid.
