We saw the 3D version and that was extra cool and amazing, even though it cost a bit more to see it in 3D, it was worth it. Great message for the kids about team work. Some special guest stars were a nice surprise too. Run to see this movie...even if you don't have kids!… Expand

Even though it's not even close to the awesomeness of the first movie, still a good movie. The animation was great and the jokes were funny enough. The whole audience was dying of laughter! There were a lot of strange and **** up moments in the movie, there was also a reference to "The Shining" and I was like: What the hell am I seeing? Anyway, this movie is anything but boring. I couldn't take my eyes of the screen, I was so entertained the whole running time. The first SpongeBob movie was already surreal and weird, this one... *sigh* has crossed the line.

The 3D was incredible, well done and eye-popping. There's a great action sequence near the end of the movie with the pirate involved (performed by Antonio Banderas), and it was so damn funny and fast-paced. On the downside, some repetitive jokes become tiresome as the running time goes, the above-water stuff was way too short and well... actually the whole movie was very short to me, I don't know why, this movie should be longer! Again, the whole above-water stuff that you can see in the trailer was actually 20% of the movie, seriously WTF, I wanted more.

I left the theater a bit unsatisfied. I felt like I just watched a movie that's 50 minutes long. Also, another of my issues was the ending, the songs in the ending were unnecessary and a little bit annoying. In addition, another issue was the villain. Antonio Banderas was great, but his character is not very well developed, he was a quite uninteresting villain. Leaving aside its flaws, I noticed one thing, the editing is really well done and even though it has some messed up moments the movie is never confusing because its premise is so short and easy to follow.

The editing makes the whole film more dynamic and easy to understand. So, in conclusion this SpongeBob movie is not even close to the 2004 film, but it has enough visuals and clever gags to satisfy the audience in general. The above-water sequences are so damn enjoyable, the 3D looks fantastic and there are a lot of moments in the movie that are so damn surreal and messed up! Think of an animated version of Interstellar. Also, I don't want to spoil it, but I'm just gonna say that first scene with the dolphin was so strange.

I'm pretty sure that a lot of people will dislike this film, mainly because of the ending, some annoying songs, the **** up moments and the shortness of the film. But to me, it is not a bad movie at all. I highly recommend it, especially if you're fan of the TV show. If you're going to see it, you must see it in 3D and on a huge screen. It is a pretty good spectacle. It is great that the movie took advantage of its 3D format, it looked great. Also, do not forget to see Squidward's dancing in the end credits, it will remind you to the old times. [B-]… Expand

As an adult the tv show is loaded with intelligent satire, unique and quirky humor. The combination of high and low brow humor, slapstick and innuendo is enough to keep many adults happy and entertained.

This movie however is basically devoid of most of these things. Aside from 2 or 3 scenes and jokes, this movie feels like it wasn't written by the same people who write for the show, or perhaps when confronted by a longer running time they choked? Still other made for TV feature length Sponge Bob movies were funnier and more in tune with the show.

The premise of the movie allows for some "What if" scenarios to unfold... but the writers seem asleep at the wheel.

Numerous chances for the typical quirky humor of sponge bob are missed, and sponge bob is essentially little more than an exaggerated Pollyanna, which is only a small part of what makes him funny on the TV show.

Probably the only part I truly laughed about and felt was true to the spirit of spongebob, was a sequence inside his mind... As well as one or two gags that happened along the way.

It felt almost like this was a bit of false advertising as the commercials showed a life action style predominantly, and most of the movie is basically the same as the cartoon.

Overall I think this will appeal more to the younger Spongebob fanbase, and less to the parents of the show, or the kids who grew up watching it and are now adults themselves who appreciated it for it's adult friendly satire, innuendo and quirky/awkward punchlines.

Several characters in particular feel written differently as if they have been written not by people who know and love the characters, but by people who watched a few episodes and copied down jokes and gags they saw.

Bottom line, this isn't the first full feature length show spongebob has made, but it feels as if it is. It is terribly derivative, bland and as if it's been cleansed of any adult humor... Maybe Nickelodeon didn't want to risk offending the parents who don't normally watch the show?

Anyway this movie would be fine for the ten and under crowd, my 12 year old hated it (and he loves spongebob), and adults taking their kids to see this, should refrain from eating any rich meals that cause the ITIS before hand or they will end up falling asleep in their seats like I did.

I kind of feel sorry for Antonio Banderas, because he had a fine performance, but I felt like I was watching a man who was once at the top of the game, now resorting to doing kids cartoons to pay the bills... But he certainly didn't cop out or put out a bad performance. But this won't be another Puss N Boots for him...

Final Verdict - Kids ten and under? Sure, go see it with them. Age 10+ wait till it's on Netflix or something.… Expand

The animation is probably the film's best shining point. It is a tremendous improvement yet also a nostalgic reflection of the first movie. About 4/5ths of it was 2D while the last fifth was CGI, which surprisingly enough was quite good for the art style.

As for the humor, it's been a long time since I've laughed at a post-season 4 joke. The writers decided to drop on the toilet humor this time, and I'm glad. Having watched Spongebob since season 2, I also appreciated the references they made to earlier episodes, including the reef blower and Squidward's interpretive dancing.
Though the rap battle was a little superfluous in my opinion, Pharell Williams's song "Squeeze Me" was surprisingly catchy. I'm glad I stayed during the credits to hear it.

So, yeah. Bottom line: good animation, good beginning storyline, good jokes, but bad ending. Nonetheless, it was a creative effort, and I have to commend the studio for the improved animation, and I hope there's gonna be a third movie as well.… Expand

For those of you who saw the trailer of all the main characters on land in Full CGI and got all excited to see a who movie like that will be sadly disappointed because that is only the last act of the film, It's a good last act but it leaves you wanting more.

The rap at the ending though, was downright atrocious.it was clearly done by the creator of "epic rap battles of history" and as such reeks of his "im better than you" "no im better than you"lyrical content and his copy and paste delivery style, it had nothing to do with the film we had just watched and it cuts off the closest thing you get to a play through of the spongebob theme,it smelled so badly that it costed the film a point .… Expand

However, The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water is not that great with the marketing being completely mislead. While the animation looks great, the story was painfully average, the humor was not as funny, and the characters are not at their best. The biggest flaw has to be the misleading marketing because the trailers will make you think that this film is mostly out of the water, but it turns out that they do not come out of the water until the last 20 minutes of the film. Unfortunately, the live action sequences are not quite as memorable as the 2004 film with SpongeBob and all the other characters being superheroes for most of their screen time outside of the water. Also, the story in the water is not good either and goes nowhere for the characters. Honestly, I could recommend this film to SpongeBob fans, but the previous film from 2004 was much better. This was a very average film that does not hold up well to the last SpongeBob film.… Expand

The characters are wooden, the animation is ugly, and the script is an abomination. Any third grader could have written a better story than this. I loved The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie (2004). I love the television show. I cannot believe that The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water was made by the same people! Whose idea was it to include the seagulls??? How the hell did the seagulls get approved by the writers, the director, the producers, or the studio executives??? Watching the scenes with the seagulls was akin to torture. My I.Q. dropped several points as a result of seeing this monstrosity of a movie. I tried to sleep, but the movie was so loud and obnoxious that I could not even get in a little nap! EVERYONE involved with this piece of detritus ought to be ASHAMED of themselves for cashing their paychecks. And what the HELL was Antonio Banderas doing in this movie??? This is where his career is at? Wow. And then, at the end, they throw in some half-assed rap songs with an island twist? Since when has rap EVER been associated with SpongeBob Squarepants??? JeeeeZuuuus! NOOOOOOO!!! See this movie at your own peril! Shame on you, Steven Hillenburg, Paul Tibbitt, Jonathan Aibel and Glenn Berger, shame on you! Give me back my 92 minutes.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First of all, why in the name of satan would any critic like this movie? What are you critics on, marijuana? The story made absotivily no sense what so ever! You have a dolphin that came from a pink floyd triangle, Spongebob and Plankton made a time machine and they had the cgi for a little while and I was wanting to have that more in the movie. I have to admit the underwater animation was ok but seriously it hurt my eyes. I didn't even laugh except for the "MY LEG!" part. I didn't understand why adults liked it either and most of them hate spongebob and they were laughing at everything in the movie. Good GRIEF! OH and you people think that Strange Magic was weird. That movie was F***ing awesome. Way better than Spongeboob. Come on critics you guys make me sick. One more thing, my brother almost died of boredom. YES BOREDOM!

TheWhen I was a kid, I loved the episodes before the first movie, & the first movie was really good too. I still love those. But after the movie, the show started to lose its hilariousness & now the current season just makes me so mad. The Spongebob franchise is like Adam Sandler, its glory days were wonderful, but now I just can't stand it. So I heard this movie has the producers from the first three seasons, the only ones that ever, EVER happened, so is this movie good? Not like I wanted it to be. I saw it in 2D, but I could easilly tell when they went "Hey! Look at our cool 3D! We're hip!". It's not 2009 anymore, nobody gives a s*$&t! Plus,?most of the humor was comparable to Batman & Robin. Yes, I went there. The pirate was annoying & he had seagull buddies which were like Jar Jar Binks, & It wasn't any better than the current season of spongebob. I will admit the last third act was actually better than the first two & I thought the third act was going to be the crappiest part. Other than that, a few chuckles, Tom Kenny, Rob Paulsen, Kevin Michael Richardson, & a cameo by one of my favorite YouTubers were this film's saving grace. Since my rating can't be used for the score, I'll put my rating here & my score above. I give "Sponge Out of Water" 1.8 out of 5 stars.… Expand

Is it stupid, yes. Is it childish and annoying, absolutely. Does it at times kill your brain cells, of course. But SpongeBob believe it or not as some funny moments that make you believe for a few minutes that this pretty bad film isn't all that bad.

I was actually starting to fall asleep btw part way through. Seems like the theater crowd was forcing laughs. And most importantly just missing some of the elements that makes the cartoon loveable and the ones that were there, were bland and forced. Don't recommend it.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I am, and have always been, a huge fan of Spongebob. I grew up watching the show, and the first movie is one of my favorite movies of all time. And I guess trying to connect this movie with older Spongebob was mistake number one.
The humor in this movie is not grounded in reality, it's what I would call very bizarre. While the first movie's humor was based around Spongebob and Patrick acting ridiculously to life-threatening scenarios, this movie's humor mostly comes from the absurd situations Spongebob finds himself in. It's hit-or-miss, really.
The stakes in the first movie were very real, and the story was more coherent. Plankton steals King Neptune's crown and frames Mr. Krabs so Spongebob and Patrick have to get the crown back before Mr. Krabs is executed. In Sponge Out of Water, the Krabby Patty secret formula is magically stolen, and this causes Bikini Bottom to turn into a dystopia for some reason????? So Spongebob and Plankton go through time and space to make things back to the way they were, but in the end, the whole dystopia is resolved by "Oh, we can take these clothes off!"
I dunno. It wasn't really for me, but I could definitely see other people enjoying it. My friend actually fell asleep by the end of the movie.… Expand

The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water is the first film in the long running franchise since 2004’s The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie and represents a brief resurgence of relevancy for a series whose cultural significance has dwindled to aThe SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water is the first film in the long running franchise since 2004’s The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie and represents a brief resurgence of relevancy for a series whose cultural significance has dwindled to a Kindergardener’s introduction to memes.

Upon returning to Bikini Bottom, we find that the universe of SpongeBob has remained absurd and nonsensical, though it hasn’t aged quite as well fans would hope. The tone remains off-kilter, but only amateurishly so. It’s actually quite tame and ordinary, even by SpongeBob’s childish standards. There was a time when the series gave into some legitimately weird impulses, psychedelic even. Save for a sequence where SpongeBob and Plankton travel through time, meet a 3-D space dolphin and inadvertently destroy part of the solar system (a legitimate peak in oddity for the series) the gags here are by turns predictable, repetitive, juvenile, or just plain grating.

I’m not saying that I’ve never found SpongeBob entertaining, I actually consider myself a fan. But the comedy attempted here lacks bite or inspiration. From the Loony Toons slapstick to the horrendous subplot featuring Antonio Banderas as a scruffy pirate (that contains legitimate poop jokes that I just cannot abide), SpongeBob seems off his game to someone who stopped avidly watching the show after it’s heyday something like a decade ago.

And the character's archetype’s have, at this point, lost their zany dimensionality. Patrick is still an idiot, Squidward is still a drag, and SpongeBob is still as effervescent as he is annoying, but most of the inspired humor seems to have already been mined from their antics, leaving a feeling that our heroes’ actions are being filtered through an auto-pilot system, or worse, that they have nothing left to do. I’ll admit that some instances break this feeling of stagnancy, yet nothing presented here reaches the incredibles highs of The Camping Episode or Chocolate with Nuts. We’ve seen all of this before, and better.

One feat I can cite as a positive is that the animation seems to have improved markedly. Even the CGI/live-action crossover sequence at the end was visually impressive, though it wasn’t a necessarily unprecedented move, as prominent instances of the hybrid such as The Smurfs or Yogi Bear have left a scar on the entire approach altogether. On occasion, the art style ventures outside the proverbial spectrum to allow glimpses of surrealism, a welcome strangeness as we trudge through a muck of otherwise pedestrian visual cues. There is also an unavoidable nostalgic appeal I cannot deny, having watched the show a great deal when I was young. Seeing everyone back on the silver screen is a most welcome reunion to my inner child, albeit a disappointing one.

The story is run-of-the-mill; SpongeBob must once again save Bikini Bottom by retrieving the Krabby Patty secret formula. Things go pretty much as planned and everything resolves so that the series can remain cyclical and timeless, like many a children’s animated program. The character arc of series villain Plankton is rendered completely pointless, and it wouldn’t be so irritating had the central thematic focus of the film not revolved around the trope of friendship. The movie beats this cliched moral lesson over your head for an hour in an attempt at emotional resonance, yet when at the end of the film Plankton once again renounces his good ways to simply turn everything back to normal, you come to realize that however entertaining the show once was, this ending furthers the evidence that the series has completely succumbed to self-franchise-regulation, and will not now, if ever, show any progression.

Most of this shouldn’t be so detrimental to a series that openly markets itself as episodic, yet when an adult audience takes notice of fleet hints of genuine comedic potential, it seems like such a waste when artistic parameters are needlessly taken to ensure that SpongeBob will never change so as to never lose his appeal. On the contrary, I feel the opposite will become of these programs, at least in the eyes of conscious consumers of media. Shows like this will slowly fade in relevance to anyone over the age of 7 if they continue to show a lack of resolve or innovation. I believe this series still has the ingredients to churn out charmingly diverting entertainment in spite of being a cartoon marketed at tykes, we may just need a less derivative approach to get us there.… Expand

It's been a decade since the first film, definitely a long wait for the fans. That film was a hit, but I don't know why it took so long for the second. Honestly, I loved this one too, albeit I'm not a diehard fan, just a supporter. One of the beautiful cartoon universe with unique characters that can entertain all ages. The new addition, especially for this film only, the Antonio Banderas did his part wonderfully. Never seen before stunts in SpongeBob world that comes in the final battle.

Whenever I review an animation movie, I usually bring 2D and 3D animation topics to denote how the technology has transformed. 'Asterix' from France, 'Doraemon' from Japan, and recently America's own 'Mister Peabody' remodelled in 3D and saw tremendous success. So why not SpongeBob, but only for a small portion they have tried and it was awesome. Most importantly the story blended well with the twist in the character reformation.

This movie is in a second batch queue for the Oscar race, that mean a slim chance to get a nominee, but I don't think it will make. That does not mean the movie is bad, it was very good, so entertaining and super funny. Simply not an Oscar material, that's all. If anyone hasn't seen it yet, I absolutely suggest to try it out. I hope it won't take another 10 years for the next movie in the series.

Who known that a SpongeBob Movie produce by Nickelodeon film would actually turn out not as terrible as I thought it will just because of Nickelodeon track record of the last couple years.

The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water is aboutWho known that a SpongeBob Movie produce by Nickelodeon film would actually turn out not as terrible as I thought it will just because of Nickelodeon track record of the last couple years.

The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water is about a very important recipe goes missing, Spongebob jumps out of 2D and into our 3D world to retrieve it. But it's not going to be easy getting it back, as a scurvy pirate stands between Spongebob and the recipe.

I remember the time when Nickelodeon was the best with are favorite programs that we use to watch and enjoy the hell out of, but after a while when all the programs was getting cancelled one by one and Nickelodeon itself was getting watered down with endless bullsh*t that we didn't want, we already sawed what was coming for Nickelodeon and now it's now known as the dropping ground of uninspiring ideas of new TV shows that wouldn't even make it to season 2 or 3. Sponge was the same it stared off great that quickly turned bland and the same recycled jokes, and the trailer to the SpongeBob movie 2 looked like Nickelodeon was scraping the barrel, but to my surprise the movie wasn't all that bad.

Let's just call the movie of what it is and that's a love letter to SpongeBob fans, only true SpongeBobs fans that loved the show back in the day when it was good and more well thought out. All the voice actors from the show do make a return to the movie and they all do good in they roles and I really don't see anyone else replacing them, because they were born to play their character's. The animation was pretty good, now in the trailer you can see the live action 3D animation well that's actually a couple minutes long in the last part, the whole movie is the good old animation that we loved in the first place.

Antonio Banderas as the villain was surprisingly enjoyable. Now normally when big names actors do these kids movie just for money and nothing else, not even trying in they role, but here is totally different I mean was Antonio Banderas actually put effort in his character and that's why his character was a enjoyable and fun villain.

For problems these a couple like: Now I talked about Antonio Banderas villain and how enjoyable he was, but his story ark and his big plan I didn't really give a care about. If you're not a fan of SpongeBob please stay away from the movie, it's not going to change your mind about the show and all that.

Overall SpongeBob the Movie 2 was good time. The movie gived me that nostalgia feeling of the 1-3 seasons of SpongeBob, as I said before I love letter to the fans.… Expand

This movie is more like an expanded rendition of the original Spongebob TV episodes, rather than a film format. The plot doesn't speak otherwise, but this spin on the "Plankton steals the KP formula" formula is sure to keep you interested.

The characters are still as colourful as ever, and the jokes don't feel too forced (except for those goddamn seagulls) and there is little to no toilet humour, which can seem pretty refreshing for a mid 2010s kid's film. Luckily, the CGI sections didn't drag on too long - and the 2D animated parts were very well executed.

But I do have a few problems with the film. Firstly, it's very creepy at times. I'm not kidding, I'm surprised my 9-year old brother wasn't freaked out by some of the scenes. For example, in the scene where our character's first meet Sandy after the main incident, Sandy acts in a rather disturbing manner. Then, in the vortex transitions, the music and imagery is even more disturbing. I definitely wouldn't recommend this one for anyone under 5. I'm surprised at how they got away with a U rating too.

Secondly, as I said, whilst the toilet humour is far and subtle, it does feel very awkward and out of the place. But, if you do want to see a seagull defecate - be my guest. All in all, I'd definitely recommend this film to any Spongebob fans, and whilst it may never live up to the original's standard, its still currently the best children's film of 2015 so far.… Expand

There are only a few problems. Y'know that hilarious joke in the trailer where you think Patrick has fallen in love with a woman but he's actually in love with her ice cream? Well in the actual movie they ruin the joke by making it clear that he's looking at the ice cream. Still, the other jokes were hilarious. The bits in Bikini Bottom are the best bits (and thankfully, the majority of the movie takes place there) because the superhero thing in the live action world gets old eventually. It should have just been a one off joke. But if you're a fan of Spongebob, watch this wonderfully silly and crazy movie.… Expand

Who those one who made the marketing, should be fired. But is still a nice film. I don´t think is great as the frist one, but is just good for my opinon.… Expand

This movie is strange to me in that its great in some places but horrible inI liked this movie more than I thought i would that does not mean i liked it though. While it was not terrible there are moments I thought should have been left out. This movie is strange to me in that its great in some places but horrible in others. The movie starts off entertaining with a pirate evading raiders of the lost ark style booby traps and starts reading the story of sponge bob to his band of talking seagulls Then we see a food fight against plankton as he is trying to steel the krabby pattty. The movie is on a good streak all the way until sponge bob loses ammo out of a ketchup bottle and it spurts and sponge bob says excuses me like he farted. What? Then this movie is back on its good streak until spongebob breaks out into a very cheesy song about teamwork. Plankton's running joke about not knowing how to say teamwork felt unnecessary and got old quick. Then the movie is on a good streak until we see the part with bubbles the dolphin who has watched over the planets for 10000 years. He shoots spongbob because he let the planets collide. I thought it was an unnecessary scene. There are other instances where i thought this movie had some unssary scenes but those were just some. However some of the jokes worked and It definitly was better than I thought it was going to be but it could have been way better… Expand

If you thought this would be a continuation for the 1st movie, think again. In fact, anybody who has never watch the series could get in touch with the characters and story. Spongebob has not lost it's charm in this film. It's still comedic and entertaining but not enough for your grand parents to be laughing out loud.

The plot is quite simple really. Spongebob and his friends must go above the surface to stop this pirate named: Burger Beard (Antonio Banderas). But that's the thing. The "Out of water" gimmick barely last for 20 minutes. But that mean it's still comedic? Of course it is! The morale maybe cheesy but it's still one of the best films I've ever seen!… Expand

Is it to make a pun on "Fish out of water"? Because to me it's a really misleading title (with false advertising) as the "Sponge out of water" part lasts only like 20 minutes or less in this 90 minute flick.

But is the rest of the movie good?
Not really, this is the reason why I don't like movies based on animated shows, they basically feel like a TV movie or a stretched-out regular episode and this is NO exception. Now this feels like a good Spongebob episode, some jokes are funny and reminiscent of classic Spongebob episodes and I liked that but come on, people are paying to expect something above TV quality. The original Spongebob movie was actually a good movie because it didn't feel like just a longer episode, while this actually does.

This isn't bad, but it's no better than the first one. It's kind of refreshing to see 2D animation in cinema nowadays, by the way.… Expand

A sequel that is a rifle of ostentatious jokes packed in a scenario as disturbing as confusing mixing live action, cartoon and 3D images. The story is a mess of friendship songs, uncontained rage, random storytelling and weird characters. It ges in every direction, and non of them seems better than the others. What about this dolphin?

Concerning the jokes, and I think this should be the main point on a SpongeBob movie, they are quite lame. Given their number, some of them obviously had to make me laugh a little, but that's at the expense of many others based on fart noises and repetitive SpongeBob laughter. I know this is a passed debate, but why did they have to change his laugh? The oldest was simply the best. And did anyone really want to see Eugene Krabs wear a SM leather suit? Because it also is what this movie offers. This movie just take kids for little idiots. Don't make the same mistake.… Expand
