Plot: Jinkies! In Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed, Scooby and the gang lose their cool – and their stellar reputation – when an anonymous masked villain wreaks mayhem on the city of Coolsville with a monster machine that re-creates classic Mystery Inc. foes like The Pterodactyl Ghost, The Black Knight Ghost, Captain Cutler’s Ghost and The 10,000 Volt Ghost.Under pressure from relentless reporter Heather Jasper-Howe (ALICIA SILVERSTONE) and the terrified citizens of Coolsville, the gang launches an investigation into the mysterious monster outbreak that leaves Shaggy and Scooby questioning their roles in Mystery Inc. The ever-ravenous duo, determined to prove they’re great detectives, don a series of far-out disguises in their search for clues. All signs point to Jeremiah “Old Man” Wickles (PETER BOYLE), the former Black Knight Ghost who was once unmasked by the gang and thrown in jail. Did the creepy wannabe launch the monstrous attack on Coolsville in a diabolical quest for revenge? Meanwhile, brainy Velma (LINDA CARDELLINI) becomes smitten with another key suspect, Coolsonian Criminology Museum curator Patrick Wisely (SETH GREEN), as macho leader Fred (FREDDIE PRINZE JR.) and image-conscious Daphne (SARAH MICHELLE GELLAR) attempt to determine the identity of the Evil Masked

 The mangy sequel to the summer '02 smash hit finds the Scooby gang in deep Doo-Doo.--Michael Rechtshaffen (Hollywod Reporter)
"Scooby-Doo 2" looks like a Saturday morning cartoon and unfortunately feels like one, too, with its thin characterizations, largely arbitrary action and feeble jokes.--Dave Kehr (The New York Times)
I'll give it two stars because I didn't feel anything like the dislike I reported after the first film, but no more than two, because while the film is clever, it's not really trying all that hard.  --Roger Ebert (Chicago Sun-Times)
This time the mystery is too difficult to fit together, and kids will spend more time trying to make sense of the extra detritus than letting loose at the gang’s wild antics.  --David Levine (FilmCritic.com)
Quick, funny, and painless like a Saturday morning cartoon or a brain aneurism. Take your pick.  --B. Alan Orange (MovieWeb)
No surprise there. Unlike the first edition, Scooby Doo 2:Monsters Unleashed has enough story ballast that the parental units in the back row won't be bored silly.--Chuck Schwartz (The Cranky Critic)
I know it's April Fools Day today, but I'm being serious here. It's really not that bad. I guess it's April Fools on me for thinking otherwise. --Brian Gallagher (MovieWeb)
Disappointing sequel with better effects but fewer gags than the first film.  --Matthew Turner (ViewLondon)
Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed may be all but forgotten in a few weeks, but it has a warm heart and imagination to spare.  --Dustin Putman (The Movie Insider)
Tired, mangy, and completely uninspired, this mutt of a sequel makes you wonder why anyone bothered doing the Doo again. No worse - but certainly no better - than the flea-bitten original. --Jamie Russell (BBC Films)

Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed," the inevitable bigger-budget sequel to the surprise 2002 hit spun off from the '70s cartoon, is little more than 91 minutes of cheesy special effects in search of a remotely coherent story.  --Lou Lumenick (New York Post)
Bad script, lame jokes: It's no mystery why this sequel stinks.--Christy Lemire (San Francisco Examiner)
“Doo 2” is reliably low-ball in every aspect of production, including unattractive set design, dreadful special effects, and just piles on the volume and random ghosts when true inventiveness has been depleted. D---Brian Orndorf (FilmJerk.com)
