Plankton: The Movie

This is one of the best sponge bob movies! The Sandy one was by far the worst ever made (actually I never liked Sandy character very much so I hadn't my hopes higher for that one).

Plankton is a great character to have a movie about, he is the villain and at the same time he is funny and charismatic and I like when him and SpongeBob bonds together.

This movie deserves a higher rate it is way better than the sponge bob out of water (2015) and Sponge On The Run (2020).

This movie was entertaining to me as an adult and can easily be a great movie for kids. The other sponge bob movies were just very childish even for some kids (except the first 2D one that is incredible)

Plankton wants to steal the Krabby Patty formula again and take over the world. It goes badly and Karen has had enough. She magnetizes the Chum Bucket which attracts all the metal in Bikini Bottom. She turns into a mega three-headed evil robot using all the metal to create a giant robot. In flashback, Karen is shown to be a calculator and a potato.

This is a Spongebob musical concentrating on Plankton and Karen. They used a variety of animation styles. It's interesting. The story isn't all that much. I'm not sure that it deserves a full movie treatment. I do like some of the songs. Maybe this is better as different smaller segments. It does run a bit long.

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 was very pleasantly surprised by this quite touching portrait of a character we have known for a while.

A love story of the kind in which two people have been together for a while, there is a lot to unpack in this relationship with a very satisfying character arc and admirable they never compromise on Plankton as a villain. He isn't an anti-hero, he is a villain forced into temporary alliance and it plays very well.

Squidward gets cut a break and Patrick is thankfully de-emphasized but is still there.

The songs are alright, there are some super moments of humor and I loved a lot of sequences using contrasting styles of animation.

They do this thing with Sandy, Mrs Puff and Pearl sort of being a friendship group and it really works; there is the right amount of irony to pull it off.

I really am as surprised as anyone, I thought this would be painful like the Sandy Movie.

Better than Sponge on the Run but not as good as Sponge out of Water.

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!
