Nathan J. Rating: 5.5/10 Scooby-Doo 2 is a marginal improvement over the first film, with a more focused and family-friendly tone. While it's still a goofy, cringeworthy, and CGI-heavy mess, the film leans into nostalgic monster-filled fun and provides a decent arc for Shaggy and Scooby. Highlights - Fun Premise: The screenplay has a fantastic and fun premise, with the gang's classic foes returning as real monsters. - Perfect Performances: Matthew Lillard and Linda Cardellini continue to shine as Shaggy and Velma, bringing heart and soul to the film. - Nostalgic Delight: The film is a pure nostalgia-fest for fans of the original cartoon, with iconic monsters brought to life. Criticisms - Poor CGI: The CGI has aged poorly, with monsters and Scooby-Doo looking weightless and unconvincing. - Predictable Twist: The film's "shocking twist" is predictable and not particularly clever. - Brainless Humor: The film's humor is still low-brow and juvenile, failing to be genuinely clever or funny for adult audiences. Verdict Scooby-Doo 2 is a dumb but harmless and occasionally fun nostalgia trip. It's a slight improvement over the first film, with a better premise and clearer tone, but it's still a clunky mess saved by Matthew Lillard's perfect performance as Shaggy. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/25/25 Full Review matthias s Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed is a weird, campy, but strangely charming ride down memory lane. Watching it as a six-year-old in theaters with my mom is a memory I’ll never forget, and revisiting it now still hits that nostalgic sweet spot. The cast is perfect—everyone just nails their cartoon-inspired personas—and seeing all those classic villains brought to life is a treat. Sure, the CGI is hilariously dated, but it doesn’t ruin the fun; if anything, it adds to the goofy charm. The story and worldbuilding are bigger than the first movie, making it feel like a love letter to the original cartoons. I’ll always hope James Gunn eventually gives us Scooby-Doo 3.

Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/09/25 Full Review Rami A While it's a better than the first, I still can't quite say it's a good movie. Sure, it does a lot better than the first, but it still has the same issues that hurt the first one. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/28/25 Full Review Chevi S If you get it, you get it.
