The mystery by the way is that something or someone is bringing to life the costumes of old villains they faced, including recognisable ones like the Black Knight, the Zombie and Captain Redbeard, and this green gas thing or whatever is making them into real monsters. The rest meanwhile, Fred Jones (I Know What You Did Last Summer's Freddie Prinze Jr.), Daphne Blake (Sarah Michelle Gellar) and Velma Dinkley (Linda Cardellini) are doing their own searching and so forth. Basically Scooby-Doo (Neil Fanning) and best friend Shaggy (Scream's Matthew Lillard) are seen as the screw ups of the gang, and for once they want to be the ones that solve the mystery, so behind the others' backs, they are attempting to solve the mystery of the film. Just like the first live action film this is cheesy, and only good for the familiar faces, well, that's it, still director Raja Gosnell (Home Alone 3, Big Momma's House). There is a couple of good moments in an overall weak effort. Most of the CGI are cheesy although it's expensive cheese. It's very random but that's what you get from Scooby-Doo. As for the mystery, Randomonium says it all. Their friendship remains the best thing about the franchise.

For all the crazy hijinx they get into, the funniest thing in this movie happens when Fred calls Daphne fat. I've never like this incarnation of Scooby-Doo and Shaggy. While change is often good, these are pretty big changes. This is more Ghostbusters than Scooby-Doo. The second is that the monsters are actually real. First they start out as popular and famous when they are always Those Damn Meddling Kids. This movie deviates from the well known franchise in two big ways. Then there is Old Man Wickles (Peter Boyle) who is the obvious suspect.

Devious TV reporter Heather Jasper-Howe (Alicia Silverstone) makes them the laughing stock and they must solve the case to redeem themselves. That's when a new villain appears with an all-too-real Pterodactyl ghost to wreck havoc on the event. Patrick Wisely (Seth Green) is the curator and Velma is in love. The Mystery Inc members are the guests of honor at the grand opening of the Museum of Criminology where they celebrate the gang's previous successes. Scooby and the gang Fred (Freddie Prinze Jr.), Daphne (Sarah Michelle Gellar), Shaggy (Matthew Lillard), and Velma (Linda Cardellini) have become the toast of the town in Coolsville. I guess you can't blame them for this but at the same time it

The original series worked so well because the stories could entertain both parents and their kids but the story here is just so watered down that the kids were the main focus. There are still a few adult winks scattered throughout the picture but sadly the overall story is just dumbed down way too much for adults to really enjoy it. It was fun getting to see some of the old costumes brought to life in the current CGI work and for the most part I thought the special effects were good and especially on the Tar Man.
Fans of the original series will probably understand the monsters here better than kids perhaps watching this movie. The supporting cast does feature Seth Green, a strong performance by Peter Boyle and it was certainly nice seeing Alicia Silverstone. The CGI Scooby really isn't any better but he's just too fake looking for his own good.
Then you've got Gellar and Cardellini doing nice work in their supporting roles and even Lillard is a bit better as Shaggy. That's not to say he gives a great performance but it's at least better than what was in the first film. For starters, Prinze does a little better job with Freddie and I thought the screenplay wrote his character much better this time out. With that said, one really shouldn't expect this film to compare to the original series but there are a few good things here and a few nice changes that made this one slightly better than the first film. SCOOBY-DOO 2 is a minor improvement over the first film but it still can't measure up to the original series or many of the spin-offs that followed it. Suddenly a black knight comes to life and soon some of the gangs most famous monsters are coming after them. Scooby-Doo 2 (2004) ** (out of 4) The second and final film in the attempt to bring the animated classic to the big screen has Fred (Freddie Prinze, Jr.), Daphne (Sarah Michelle Gellar), Velma (Linda Cardellini), Shaggy (Matthew Lillard) and Scooby walking the red carpet as a museum housing the costumes to their greatest cases is about to open.
