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 Figure whose monster army is wreaking havoc on Coolsville.

Reviews for Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed
You could pass on both Scooby Doo films unless you really have nothing else to do one day. And I mean nothing.
...it's all running and mugging and falling down amidst a host of eyeball-scorching, computer-generated special effects and excruciatingly loud music.
The acting is so over the top that any good will developed from the first film is instantly dashed...
This bellicose, straining mess doesn't even work on the simplest diversionary level.
It is no surprise this film isn't very good, the first one wasn't very good either.
If we’re lucky, films like Scooby-Doo 2 will become the exception rather than the rule.
It's guileless, designed almost to be forgotten, and its modest intentions generate no resentment [in the viewer].
The first Scooby-Doo was a passably entertaining shambles. The sequel is just a shambles.
Made with greater affection for the 1969 Hanna-Barbera cartoon that inspired it, Scooby 2 is often genuinely funny and sometimes borders on clever.
