Tied for the best movie I have ever seen

It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

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.

My assumption is people just say new spongebob sucks and automatically assume it sucks. Quite the contrary. They'd be pretty surprised to probably learn the original creator and writer came back to help make this movie. They used a lot of older humor and elements in general that made it feel like something from seasons 1-3. It was enjoyable to watch, and much better than I had expected.

Advertising is somewhat misleading for every product. But almost all of the trailers for this movie advertise a CGI SpongeBob superhero movie. Unfortunately, not even 25% of this movie is dedicated to that kind of film. It's a 78 minute SpongeBob cartoon with a 15 minute CGI segment. Besides my expectations, this was fine. It did everything it had to. It had interesting parts, and got a few laughs out of me (ironically). I am also not the proper age group for this movie, which is most likely a huge factor of why I think this movie is fine. If I was say, 6 years old, this would have been my favorite film of all time. They are defiantly going to make a sequel to this movie (as it is a factor of the SpongeBob property, which has millions and millions of dollars), and I have faith that I will enjoy the next one un-ironically. As I say, a bad movie is better than a boring movie. Bad/((Boring))/Good/Fantastic Final Rating: Boring...

I remember watching this movie in theaters and I thought it was terrible, it was somewhat a let-down to me. But, I was a cynical baby and I heard good reviews on the internet and decided to watch it again. I enjoyed it much more this time. I found the jokes much funnier, and saw the many hilarious backgrounds. Example, when Karen was chained in the room there were writings saying "ctrl-alt-del" and many other awesome jokes. Great movie!
