When Mystery, Inc. are guests of honor at the grand opening of the Coolsville Museum of Criminology, a masked villain shows up and creates havoc before stealing the costumes of the gang's most notorious villains: Black Knight Ghost, Pterodactyl Ghost and Tar Monster. Could it be that their nemesis, mad scientist Jonathan Jacobo has returned and is trying to recreate their deadliest enemies? Velma has a crush on the museum curator Patrick Wisely despite her fears of intimacy but why is he acting so suspicious? The Mystery Gang is hard pressed to succeed this time, since annoying television reporter Heather Jasper-Howe insists they are buffoons. Written by Mattias Thuresson
Love it or loath it the first live action Scooby film was a hit and therefore it is no surprise to see a sequel.
Pleasantly it is an improvement on the original with more humour, more depth and more monsters. Even the 3D Scooby looks more life like.
There are some new faces such as Alicia Silverstone and the dearly missed Peter Boyle but by and large it falls upon the talents of Matthew Lillard and Linda Cardelllini to create the movies' magic moments. Lillard is as close to the original character as you could get and it is no surprise that it is his antics that dominate the film most though the sub plot about Velma and a possible love interest is also very sweet..
Overall an enjoyable film for fans of the original series as well as those discovering Scooby for the first time.
