The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water (2015)

Boring

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Don't watch this garbage spongebob Is a disgrace to other cartoons and they were only out of water for 10 minuets. The whole movie should have been out of water. This movie is worse then The Emoji Movie.

I'll start by saying, this movie isn't terrible, but the pacing and direction of it seemed really odd. It seems the creators wanted to fit too many ideas and plots into one movie to fill a time slot. The way the movie should feel slow paced only at the start before any build up, lasted for half of the movie. I think what most people were looking forward to was the real life/CGI moments near the end, and the build up to that didn't make much sense. They dropped the Bikini Bottom is up in flames story really quick just to finally introduce the out of water part. The lack of CGI time wouldn't have been such a bummer if the rest of the animated plot wasn't so poorly put together, it's like you're just waiting for the second half of the movie to kick in forever and ever. I thought the introduction of another pirate that wasn't the classic Patchy was rather.. odd? I see what they were trying to do with it, but it was still off. The reveal that he was the mastermind behind all the mess was a shock to me though, so they did write him in the way they intended to, I suppose.The one story arch (Plankton's redemption arc?) was an interesting concept however. I thought they paced out the relationship build up between he and Spongebob rather well. And while it did seem a little too out of character for Plankton at times, it was still a fun way to flesh him out, show him as a multi-dimensional character to some newer viewers that may not know all the easter eggs about him. It all coming together in the end when he goes back to his old ways in a cheeky way was a great note to end that off on. The part where Spongebob writes in superpowers for the crew is the best part of the movie, as expected and advertised. While very cheesy, was extremely cool to see (even if Spongebob's power was nothing special compared to the others.) Mr Krabs being a parody of Iron Man, intended or not, was brilliant! And the reveal of Sandy turning into an actual squirrel was *the* best thing in this movie. I was laughing so hard (too hard maybe?), it was so clever.Once you look past the advanced stuff like the painfully slow pacing, few bad jokes that didn't land, etc. It's good to watch. Kids will surely love it as it is a fun watch. I think any Spongebob fan, new or old can find enjoyment out of this movie.To follow up, I went and watched it a second time with a pal, took a lot less time analyzing the flaws and spent more time laughing about the ridiculous jokes together, good and bad. The first time watching it was disappointing, but if you go into it not expecting much, you can enjoy it a lot more.

This Spongebob Squarepants movie appears to be based on the popular television series. Having many fans worldwide, the show was due for its second theatrical release. Ones only to wonder why it took 11 years to release the sequel (the original being released in 2004). The plot of this film is quite rehashed but a little twist is what made it enjoyable and better. Director Paul Tibbitt delivers a fish- out-of-water, post-apocalyptic, buddy, road flick with a heavy sprinkle of time-travel. Turning Bikini Bottom into a Mad Max-style dystopia, where everyone wears leather, is just one of the gleefully silly highlights on offer here.Shown in the trailer are many scenes of the crew out-of-water in live 3D, though in the film that only occurs in the very end and it is not for too long. It is possible the best part of the film, although it feels somewhat different than the first half of the movie (where that feels more like an extended episode). Overall, this film is quite entertaining, fans of the series may enjoy it, and it isn't too long which may be a good thing.

The Spongebob Squarepants Movie from 2004, in my opinion, is one of the best animated movies ever made. However, despite the films huge success, it took 10 years for the first trailer for the second movie. I found the trailer, and I couldn't wait! After 11 long years, Spongebob was finally coming back to the big screen! I went with all my friends, and thought it was solid.The Spongebob Movie: Sponge out of Water is a sequel that would bring the colorful world of Spongebob Squarepants to our world. The film was highly advertised as a animated/CGI hybrid film. This however, proved to be the biggest let down for the film. Whilst the trailers and posters advertised this as a Spongebob adventure on the surface, the film actually switches to the CGI route with 30 minutes left in the 90 minute movie. It is disappointing how only a third of the movie takes place on the surface, however, it is also nice to still see hand- drawn animated movies still being made.Now lets talk about the film. First, the characters. The characters from classic Spongebob are back. After 4 not-so-great seasons of the TV show, the characters that we know from the first movie are back. Most the comedy jokes hit, and some of the characters like Squidward and Sandy, were given much bigger roles in this movie. The new characters, Burger Beard and his seagull crew were hilarious additions. All the characters are great.Next up, the movie's plot. The plot of Sponge out of Water is that Burger Beard the pirate has stolen a magical book that allows him to steal the secret formula to the Krabby Patty. Bikini Bottom falls into an apocalyptic state, and Spongebob is forced to team up with Plankton. They build a time machine and try to steal back the formula before it disappeared. However, that plan fails. Then Spongebob, Patrick, Squidward, Sandy and Mr. Krabs, with help from Bubbles the dolphin, travel to the surface to get back the formula from Burger Beard. They harness the power of the magical book to become superheroes, and steal back the formula from Burger Beard. In all, the plot of this film is very weird, but very creative. As stated earlier, the final 30 minutes of the movie take place on the surface.In conclusion, The Spongebob Movie: Sponge out of Water is a solid sequel that is sure to continue the show's legacy. The characters are great, the comedy is good, and plot is creative and the animation is top-notch. When the CGI surface world scene begins, it is non-stop fun from beginning to end. If you're a fan pf the TV show, and/or the first movie, I recommend watching this movie as well. It is not perfect, but it is a lot of fun. The Spongebob Movie: Sponge out of Water, in my opinion, gets a 7/10!
