What's wild is that while I remember loving the second film as a kid, as an adult I think the first is just a fundamentally better movie. There's a lot of fun moments in the second, like sexy Velma or Shaggy and Scooby raiding a fridge of potions, but the plot really feels like an excuse to have a series of unconnected bits, whereas the first is like a real movie with characters having arcs.
Wow, they must have merged together in my mind, because I thought there was only one movie, but I definitely saw both in theaters.
There was even going to be a third movie, but between the second one underperforming and Freddie walking away citing issues with censorship of the first movie, which I believe was initially going to go for an R-rating, as well as the studio kinda underpaying everyone for the second, it got canned.
What is it with comedy movies going for the R rating? Same thing with Galaxy Quest. I dont get the reasoning.
