Why It's Great

 * Compared to the first movie, it is more kid-friendly and true to the source material.
 * The characters are more likeable and similar to how they were in the original show. As an example Scooby and Shaggy are the loveable goofballs they usually are in the cartoons while Daphne is a bit like her animated counterpart while at the same time a strong and independent character.
 * The CGI is a big improvement over the one in the first film.
 * It ignores completely the first film.
 * It focused on Shaggy and Scooby showing that they're more than just the clowns of the team. Other than them, all the other characters get an arc, especially Velma.
 * The humor is actually funny this time around, in particolar the potion scene.
 * The soundtrack is very catchy.
