It's a terrible movie. The laughs aren't there. The stunts are stupid. There's no plot whatsoever.

The monsters are the highlight of the film, and if history is any guide, there will be more ghosts and evildoers for our wholesome heroes to battle in Scooby-Doo 3.
Christina Talcott, Washington Post

As little as there is to recommend in Scooby-Doo 2, it must be noted that the human cast has done an uncanny job of inhabiting their two-dimensional characters, especially Lillard.
Ann Hornaday, Washington Post

Monstrously silly.

The movie's almost good enough to wash the bad taste of the first Scooby-Doo movie from our mouths. Almost.
