---|---|---|---|
United States | The Washington Post | "The overall effect is highly entertaining for grownups, and, judging from the squeals of delight from the young audience at a recent screening, for kids, too" | POS |
United States | Variety | "Sequel is louder and more elaborate (and even slightly longer) than predecessor, but the law of diminishing returns has caught up with this franchise" | NEU |
United States | Chicago Reader | "I'm qualified to report that this piece of junk faithfully re-creates the Hanna-Barbera formula" | NEG |

United States | Los Angeles Times | "Could be a tough go for those not already Scooby-Doo fans. It has a totally artificial quality, starting with Prinze's blond wig." | NEG |
United States | AV Club | "Nothing is more dangerous than a sequel to a wildly successful awful movie, because the artisans involved have to preserve the franchise, which means honoring the original formula as if it were a cure for cancer" | NEG |
United States | New York Post | "Little more than 91 minutes of cheesy special effects in search of a remotely coherent story" | NEG |
