Scooby Doo 2 Monsters Unleashed [PG]

Over the years, Mystery Inc has solved all manner of mysteries, saving town after town from ghoulish fates. But now they face their most challenging mystery yet as one of their former foes steals the costumes the gang has donated to a local museum and uses them to make the monsters for real. With real monsters terrorising them left, right, and centre, and the press out to turn the town against them, Fred, Daphne, Velma, Shaggy, and Scooby are in for their most creepiest and toughest battle ever. 

This movie is just as much fun as the first one, if not more so. With more monsters, more comedy, and more familiar faces, Scooby Doo 2 Monsters Unleashed is wicked fun the family.

All the guys are back reprising their roles from the first movie and, without a doubt, the film still belongs to Matthew Lillard. 

What I think was a bit better about this film was that the personal dramas and internal struggles of the gang members were a little more pronounced. That and that the basic story was a little more in keeping with the original mysteries of the cartoon series. Although the bad guy uses a combination of both magic and science, in the end it was much more like the cartoon series than the first movie, which had random monsters that were real and had no explanation as to what they were or why they were even in existence. 

There is a lot more comedy packed into this film, some of which got a little more mature than that of the first film, which makes this movie all the more enjoyable as a family film. 

Starring Freddie Prinze Jr. Sarah Michelle Gellar, Matthew Lillard, Linda Cardellini, Seth Green, Peter Boyle, Tim Blake Nelson, and Alicia Silverstone, Scooby Doo 2 Monsters Unleashed is a fun movie packed with adventure, action, monsters, romance, and heaps of comedy. Love it.
