For the whole 'bringing Scooby to the big screen thing': They shouldn't have. And now that they've done it, they better stop now. And I mean Right Now.
'Monsters Unleashed' is a silly and childish sequel to the even worse 'Scooby Doo' two years ago. The actors (in particual Lillard) try but there isn't much joy to be found in this film. There isn't a lot of anything found in it come to think of it.
'The Gang' are faced with all the monsters they've uncovered over the years, somebody is clearly trying to stop them from doing their job. Now, from minute one on, it is completely clear who that person is, but never mind that. Film rushes through all the obligate scenes (with a good effect or two), makes sure Scooby and Shaggy do some silly stuff (the best parts in the film) and there's some sort of love story and 'being yourself' idea put in as well. I know, boring.
I'd better stop now. Please follow my lead, Gosnell. 4/10.
