Rated: 2.5/5 Apr 3, 2004 Full Review Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Trace Thurman Horror Queers Podcast 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.

Joseph M Cinematic masterpiece straight 10/10 1 man 1 dog and their 3 carers smashing the back out of mysteries think sherlock Holmes but better because it has a dog in it Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/03/24 Full Review Audience Member This Movie is alright, I think Michael lillard as shaggy is perfect but the rest of the performances are average and the CGI looks pretty bad.Its still a charming kind of bad movie and it has its moments, its just got a bunch of stuff holding it back. Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/26/24 Full Review Audience Member Better than the first. Has the same vibe as the original cartoon. I love the cast they did a great job. My only complaint is the fart jokes. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/23/24 Full Review Gorptholemew T 🍅 7.1/10I’m a tell my kids these movies have the legacy of Citizen Kane. Just as solid as the first plenty of jokes and just a great adaptation ngl these movies are so fun. Grade B+ Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/01/24 Full Review sophie m If you love Scooby doo definitely a good watch, in my opinion not as good as the first, but stands up well, with the same as the first, the sfx isn't up to today's standards but I've seen a lot worse, and again just a good film that shouldn't be taken to seriously and you will enjoy Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/28/24 Full Review Steph H I love this movie, it is better than the first live action movie. I just remember watching it over and over again as it was one of my favourite movies when I was younger. I haven't seen it in years but I remember it so well that I still love the film.
