![]() ![]() Though I did not find anything hugely objectional in the first one, I did feel they pushed the envelope quite a bit in regards to comments, what seemed to be sexual tension, and there were many low-cut outfits worn by Daphne. Many parents may have a hard time not thinking of the first “Scooby-Doo” when considering whether to take their family to this sequel. ![]() She begins to develop romantic feelings for the museum curator Patrick Wisely (Seth Green.) Velma feels out of place and vulnerable with feelings, because it is as a factual person that she finds her confidence. There is also a smaller, side storyline involving with Velma ( Linda Cardellini). Their efforts are endearing and the role of Shaggy (Matthew Lilliard) is once again brilliantly portrayed! To bring a cartoon to life as a person requires a significant effort, and he certainly pulls it off! The gang gets busy looking for clues and trying to solve the mystery, while, as usual Scooby and Shaggy find themselves getting into all sorts of chaos-though their intention was to help rather then hinder. He has somehow managed to steal one of the old costumes and creates a real monster out of it. While at the premiere of their display, a masked, evil villain appears. It’s a big, red carpet event, because in their hometown of “Coolsville” the gang of Mystery Inc. teams up with a new museum to display all of the old costumes from the mysteries they have solved. That effort was NOT something I remember seeing in the first film, and it is for that reason that I think this sequal surpasses it! There was a visible effort throughout the film to make it acceptable for most of the family. It was quite a surprise! From the opening credits (which reminded me a lot of “ Spider-Man”) until the ending credits (which are done in a musical/dance sequence with American Idol’s Ruben Studdard) my entire family was entertained. “Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed” was one of those “family” movies that I consider truly entertaining. ![]() 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.” Did the creepy wannabe launch the monstrous attack on Coolsville in a diabolical quest for revenge? 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. The ever-ravenous duo, determined to prove they’re great detectives, don a series of far-out disguises in their search for clues. 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. foes like The Pterodactyl Ghost, The Black Knight Ghost, Captain Cutler’s Ghost and The 10,000 Volt Ghost. Here’s what the distributor says about their film: 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.
