SpongeBob Movie Review

Recently I got back into SpongeBob due to it’s humour and adult jokes..and I love seasons 1-4, they’re just so funny. The first film was my favourite animated movie of Nickelodeon and ADORED the game, I still got it.

So basic plot…Mr. Krabs opens up a second Krusty Krab restaurant, and SpongeBob is heavily anticipating being promoted to manager of the new restaurant. But to his dismay, Squidward gets the job instead because SpongeBob is supposedly not mature enough for the job. Meanwhile, Plankton finally stops fooling around and enacts his greatest plan to steal the secret Krabby Patty formula — he steals King Neptune's crown, sends it to the dangerous Shell City, and frames Mr. Krabs for it. When Neptune finds his crown missing, he crashes the Krusty Krab 2 and charges Krabs for the theft, but SpongeBob is willing to travel to Shell City to retrieve the crown, so Neptune gives him six days to find it, during which he has Krabs frozen.

While SpongeBob and Patrick head off on their adventure, Plankton makes it past the frozen Krabs and successfully steals the Krabby Patty formula. He then gives away bucket-helmets with all the Krabby Patties he sells, which then turn his customers into his monument-building slaves. Can SpongeBob and Patrick successfully retrieve Neptune's crown and save Bikini Bottom...?

Well yeah they do.

What did I like and dislike? 

LIKED:

1. The Darker tone really worked where and was well balanced. Considering the amount of adult jokes in the show, I knew that this movie would have a LOT. Seriously, drunk SpongeBob is priceless! 
2. The characterisations. Plankton’s  darker side here just worked here because in his first appearances he was a serious villain with occasional comedy. This movie added a new side to him. That ONE scene where he activates the bucket helmets and they all go after Squidward with Mr Lawrence giving one of his finest Plankton laughs was just bone chilling as a child. Mr Krabs was the fatherly figure from season 1, I adored it. Yeah he was selfish a bit, bit his actions were justified in given the manager position to Squidward. This is the Krabs I want more of; a Jerk with A Heart of Gold.
3. Tom Kenny as Spongebob during the Shell City scene. That is all. 

DISLIKED

1. Squidward not joining them. Seriously they missed out on a chance to have some great comedy with SpongeBob and Patrick annoying him as usual and a great potential to have a scene where he reveals how he feels and slowly begins to warm up.
2. Mindy was just kind a plot device..she just there to be…just there. I mean how did she get from the trench to Bikni Bottom so quickly? I know it’s a kids film but still.
3. This is canonically the finale. Yeah I know it’s a weird thing to dislike, but Sponge out of Water becomes Harsher in Hindsight when you realise no matter how heartwarming Plankton and SpongeBob’s bonding was, he’s still gonna be this big dictator.

So out and all, although the film missed out on a bit but i just adored this movie, better then the Jimmy Neutron and Simpsons movie.

4/5
