Plankton: The Movie

Plankton: The Movie (2025) is a SpongeBob SquarePants movie from Netflix and it was very average.

Positives for Plankton: The Movie (2025): As an old fan of SpongeBob SquarePants, it was fun to watch these character getting into wild situations. The animation looks good even if I prefer hand-drawn animation. The voice actors do a good job here. The action scenes are fun to watch. And finally, the movie is short and didn't waste my time.

Negatives for Plankton: The Movie (2025): I don't like Plankton as the main character and he got on my nerves a lot. The movie doesn't do a good job at getting me to side with him and I was semi on Karen's side. The guy is so oblivious and delusional with his actions that I wanted to stomp on him. There is nothing likable about Plankton, so I don't understand why this movie exists aside from the obvious reasons. And finally, I didn't care if Plankton and Karen's marriage survived because they both suck as characters.

Overall, Plankton: the Movie (2025) is a harmless SpongeBob SquarePants movie and I'm okay with that even if I didn't give a damn about Plankton or Karen here.

I wish I had of seen it before, Spongebob is funny, brilliantly creative and has some nice colourful effects that'll be enjoyed by the kids. The Movie felt fresh as a daisy, and Beutifullly colourful as a rainbow.

The creativity is great, the Karen Monster, the other worlds, the world that was destroyed, the humour and the colourful effects, which is what made it slightly enjoyable in that sense, because the world-building is great, and the other storyline is fine, some clichéd written words, but other then that the creativity and the humour is to be adored.

The story wasn't rushed, and the pacing was fluid and neatly done. Nothing felt too quick or too slow, everything was understandable and the story flowed well, especially under water. Although the final act could of been stretched more, as it did feel too quick, BUT as I said the rest of the movie was paced fluidly and calmly, not too quick and not too slow, just right.

The kids will love this movie, it's going to also be admired by the adults as some of the jokes were actually relevant to today, that's why they are good, and some are different which is great. Also this movie could of used Spongebobs friends more to do a musical, as most of the musicals were mostly fine, but they were better with his other characters, I just felt as if it wasn't as strong or represented the best of Bob, and Plankton.

I'd rate this film a 6 Because I enjoyed the effects, the Humour, and the story. But a few things could of been done to improve it in my opinion, But overall Decent fun time, and no more then that.

I liked that this time it was about plonkton, and karen instead of spongebob. He was as evil as ever but I am glad in the end we actually got to hear about their love story and that he didn't choose the krabby patty formula over her. It was really cool knowing their origin story. As for these other reviews, saying it was better than sandy cheeks movie, that is a different style, and just overall pretty alright as well with some adventure. This was a bit cooler for the fact it was about the most amazing guy ever, Plonkton! Knowing she has different personalities and that fight scene getting plonkton to her, was quick but nicely paced., we all wanted him to get to his wife already to find out what would happen next!

This movie is a fun and nostalgic experience, especially for those who grew up watching SpongeBob SquarePants. It stays true to the humor and charm of the series while giving us an interesting look into Plankton's world. I really enjoyed learning about Karen's origin and how she became Plankton's sidekick, it was a great addition to his character and added more depth to their relationship.

The musical moments were simple but entertaining, capturing the lighthearted spirit of SpongeBob movies.

The 3D animation is different from what I was used to, but it looked smooth, colorful, and visually appealing.

However, the script isn't perfect, and the humans acting at the end was TERRIBLE. It completely took me out of the experience. Despite that, it's still an enjoyable movie, and I would rate it 7/10.

You know what, maybe SpongeBob movies from Netflix are not completely hopeless after all. Plankton The Movie might not be the best one, but probably the best SpongeBob movies in recent years. It has given Plankton his own movie and has handled the character very well. Sure, the plot can at times feel the movie tries to play it safe and the models can be a bit off. But the movie does make up for those for having great flashback scenes that gives growth for Plankton himself on why he started doing evil, good comedy especially from the snarks, a good amount of character development for the movie, some animation improvement, fun action, and some solid songs. I know that there will be those that want to watch this just to see how it improved from last time, and it surprisingly did. So I'll say this: Do you want to watch a movie about Plankton? I do think it will be worth a watch. Sure I know there's people that are tired of SpongeBob, but at least this one will be one of the better SpongeBob projects to get a good laugh. I'll be honest, I did have doubts for this at first based on my experience from Saving Bikini Bottom and I thought that was going to be how Netflix SpongeBob movies would go. But surprisingly, Plankton did manage to find a way to make his plan work for this film. Well, we are getting another SpongeBob movie at the end of this year. And it does contain producers involved with the first season. So all I can say is that Search For SquarePants better be really something great.
