More Review
LouHomey From my favorite movies..
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Pjtaylor-96-138044 A joy to behold from beginning to end, this filmic adaptation of the beloved television show is considered by many to be the point at which the series essentially ended - as it marked the initial departure of the founding creative team - but it thankfully lived up to, and indeed exceeded, the expectations set by the first three seasons to become an incredibly funny, beautifully animated and effortlessly charming tale of everyone's favourite pineapple-dwelling sea sponge. 'The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie (2004)' is not only hilarious and incredibly smart, working both for kids and adults alike, but also surprisingly emotional and more-than-competent from a story stand-point too, becoming one of the most lasting and memorably smile-inducing animations of the twenty-first century. It's endearing, rib-tickling, smart, side-splitting, laugh-a-minute stuff. 7/10
creatorreviews This Movie Is amazing dude. I Watched it every year since it came out multiple times and it is actually amazing. Not saying it from nostalgia, its genuinely the best movie i ever seen. It stars Spongebob Square Pants, Patrick Star, and all your beloved characters from childhood. If you don't Love this movie, you really do need a therapist, it is pure joy and excitement
tjgoalie13 This is an animated movie that often gets overlooked and forgotten but should be remembered as a modern comedy classic. What is most overlooked, and surprising is the depth and narrative heft of the film. The Spongebob Movie is often hilarious, gleefully silly, and surprisingly deep. It may never get the accreditation it deserves, but the Spongebob Movie is a film that should be re-evaluated, and maybe it would gain recognition as a under looked animated gem.The humor in the Spongebob Movie maybe directed at children, but it would take a joyless person who takes life way too seriously not to find the film funny. The jokes are inventive and come early and often. The film is a perfect manifestation of the TV show in filmic form, without feeling like a bloated episode. It's also great, because in an age when animated TV Shows have begun to cater more to stoners than children, including the latter, this movie still has an appeal for everybody.The film is gleefully silly, which only makes the film that much funnier. Admittedly there are a few moments when the film oversteps the threshold of what is funny, and what is over-the-top, but for the most part the film maintains a fun tone. One of the single greatest strengths of is the villain, Dennis, who's one of the funniest villains of all time. The sheer stupidity of some characters, matched with the deadpan seriousness of Dennis makes every scene he's in, even more hilarious.Above the humor, The Spongebob Movie is also surprisingly deep, in both character development and the film's message. While viewers may not think about these things while watching Spongebob, the film has a great message about growing up, and how the world can forget to be silly every once and awhile. The film is actually a really great portrait of today's society, and how everybody feels the need to grow up so fast instead of embracing their inner child.This is a movie that can get overlooked by adults, because it's silly and childish, but as a reflection of the society, the film is brilliant. The film is funny, and is a great film to sit back and watch with the family. For the best viewing experience one should embrace their inner child, which isn't as bad as some would try to make it sound. In the end The Spongebob Movie should be considered a comedy classic, as it's exponentially funnier than some of the best comedies today.
SnoopyStyle SpongeBob lives in Bikini Bottom with his pet Gary, best friend Patrick the starfish and Squidward. He expects that Mr. Krabs will make him the manager of Krusty Krab 2 but he chooses Squidward instead. Plankton is angry at the new restaurant opening. He uses plan Z to steal King Neptune's crown and frame Mr. Krabs for it. SpongeBob defends Mr. Krabs. Convinced by his daughter Mindy, King Neptune gives SpongeBob and Patrick 6 days to find his crown in dangerous Shell City.This is basically an extended version of the TV show. It's as silly and irreverent as ever. Its stupidity is its charm. It's fun but it does run a bit long. It may be that SpongeBob is best as 30 minutes episodes. If you're a fan of the show, this is just as good except longer.
