Featured reviews
While everything is very good, I really love this movie, the only flaw I hate about it is the fact they try to rewrite the lore about why plankton wants the Krabby patty secret formula, besides that everything else is really good, of course whenever there's a flashback, I feel like they should've went to more of the original cartoonist style because in my opinion that'd make it better, but it does have its good sides, its a really good love story about plankton and karen, and yes there could've been more characters used, its overall a good movie I really loved watching it, I'll admit it was pretty funny too.
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.
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)

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.

I was very plesantly 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.
