Protraph Lack of good storyline.

Beanbioca As Good As It Gets

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

The Movie Diorama I. Love. SpongeBob. I just do. Me and Mr Squarepants understand each other on a level of hilarity. He is the sponge to my shower. The pants to my drawers. For SpongeBob to receive the film treatment again is something that we truly will never appreciate. Magnificent. But, let's face it, it's just an extended episode. The Krabby Patty secret formula has been stolen by a pirate who uses a magical book to make any text come true. It's up to SpongeBob and gang to, once again, journey on an expedition to reach the surface. Firstly, if you don't like SpongeBob, why would you watch this? Secondly, if you don't like SpongeBob, what's wrong with you!? I jest, it's understandable that the high-pitched anthropomorphic sponge is an eclectic taste. Yet, not even for nostalgia purposes, I warm to his innocence. The slight dynamic change, in this case of Plankton "te-am-ing" up with Spongebob, did feel refreshing (although has been done before with the wonderful "F is for friends who do stuff"...ok I'll stop). The crazy antics are ever present, from Plankton flying a plane to driving a tank to controlling a giant robot just to get the secret formula, which will appeal to younger audiences and fans of the beloved series. Solid message throughout, humorous in several places and Berry voicing a time-travelling dolphin named Bubbles. It's...It's the stuff of Shakespeare. Alas, I've never been a fan of animation blending with live-action and unfortunately, as creative as the last act was, it just didn't work for me. The plot was clearly becoming expired at that point and Tibbitt tried an alternative route. Commendable, but disposable. Also, not enough Squidward. It just feels as if these films need to discover a more inventive plot. Recovering the secret formula is something best suited to a TV episode. We need a more cinematic scope to capture the epic character that is SpongeBob. Nautically nonsensical, humorous throughout and a rapid pace makes for a nice easy watch for fans and children.

pascatoredropkickmurphysjame I have been a SpongeBob fan ever since I was a little kid. Then I heard that this movie was coming out. I got very excited. One day, I went to movies and there were a bunch of little camp kids that were gonna go see too. I was the oldest kid in the theater and I was the only kid that laughed the loudest. I could not believe my eyes! SpongeBob was actually funny again! I could not stop laughing! Even though it's not even close to the awesomeness of the first movie, still a good movie. The animation was great and the jokes were funny as hell. The whole audience was dying of laughter! There were a lot of strange and messed up moments in the movie, there was also a reference to "The Shining" and I was like: What the hell am I watching? Anyway, this movie is anything but boring. I couldn't take my eyes off of the screen, I was so entertained the whole running time. The first SpongeBob movie was already surreal and weird, this one has crossed the line into new territory. In one scene, Plankton went SpongeBob's brain and almost dies from cuteness overload. I like that scene because they did a role reversal of a horror movie but they did it more kid friendly and funny. I bet Pinkie Pie would love SpongeBob's mind. The first movie was great. The second one was too. Not as good as the first, but it's okay. It's not a sequel, but it stands out on its own. Good movie to watch if you're high.

Floated2 This Spongebob Squarepants movie appears to be based on the popular television series. Having many fans worldwide, the show was due for its second theatrical release. Ones only to wonder why it took 11 years to release the sequel (the original being released in 2004). The plot of this film is quite rehashed but a little twist is what made it enjoyable and better. Director Paul Tibbitt delivers a fish- out-of-water, post-apocalyptic, buddy, road flick with a heavy sprinkle of time-travel. Turning Bikini Bottom into a Mad Max-style dystopia, where everyone wears leather, is just one of the gleefully silly highlights on offer here.Shown in the trailer are many scenes of the crew out-of-water in live 3D, though in the film that only occurs in the very end and it is not for too long. It is possible the best part of the film, although it feels somewhat different than the first half of the movie (where that feels more like an extended episode). Overall, this film is quite entertaining, fans of the series may enjoy it, and it isn't too long which may be a good thing.

rctguy75 The Spongebob Squarepants Movie from 2004, in my opinion, is one of the best animated movies ever made. However, despite the films huge success, it took 10 years for the first trailer for the second movie. I found the trailer, and I couldn't wait! After 11 long years, Spongebob was finally coming back to the big screen! I went with all my friends, and thought it was solid.The Spongebob Movie: Sponge out of Water is a sequel that would bring the colorful world of Spongebob Squarepants to our world. The film was highly advertised as a animated/CGI hybrid film. This however, proved to be the biggest let down for the film. Whilst the trailers and posters advertised this as a Spongebob adventure on the surface, the film actually switches to the CGI route with 30 minutes left in the 90 minute movie. It is disappointing how only a third of the movie takes place on the surface, however, it is also nice to still see hand- drawn animated movies still being made.Now lets talk about the film. First, the characters. The characters from classic Spongebob are back. After 4 not-so-great seasons of the TV show, the characters that we know from the first movie are back. Most the comedy jokes hit, and some of the characters like Squidward and Sandy, were given much bigger roles in this movie. The new characters, Burger Beard and his seagull crew were hilarious additions. All the characters are great.Next up, the movie's plot. The plot of Sponge out of Water is that Burger Beard the pirate has stolen a magical book that allows him to steal the secret formula to the Krabby Patty. Bikini Bottom falls into an apocalyptic state, and Spongebob is forced to team up with Plankton. They build a time machine and try to steal back the formula before it disappeared. However, that plan fails. Then Spongebob, Patrick, Squidward, Sandy and Mr. Krabs, with help from Bubbles the dolphin, travel to the surface to get back the formula from Burger Beard. They harness the power of the magical book to become superheroes, and steal back the formula from Burger Beard. In all, the plot of this film is very weird, but very creative. As stated earlier, the final 30 minutes of the movie take place on the surface.In conclusion, The Spongebob Movie: Sponge out of Water is a solid sequel that is sure to continue the show's legacy. The characters are great, the comedy is good, and plot is creative and the animation is top-notch. When the CGI surface world scene begins, it is non-stop fun from beginning to end. If you're a fan pf the TV show, and/or the first movie, I recommend watching this movie as well. It is not perfect, but it is a lot of fun. The Spongebob Movie: Sponge out of Water, in my opinion, gets a 7/10!
