Good story, Not enough for a whole film
Good movie but grossly overrated
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
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.
Much is made of the flick's CGI final movement in which our heroes take a step onto live-action land, but the majority of 'The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out Of Water (2015)' plays out in fantastic, elastic 2D animation that brings the form back to the big-screen in a big way and should not be overlooked. The feature itself isn't so much a sequel or a continuation but rather a weird and whacky head-trip featuring the characters from the show. It's a stand-alone story that takes things to crazy places with an inventive vigour and a lavish style. It manages to be entertaining even when it doesn't make all that much sense (even compared to the series' roots) and, as such, is fun throughout. 7/10
What begins with M and rhymes with less? Thats right! Mess. Thats what this film is. a faint stink by the bin. I got the privilege to watch on the Burmese premiere and I was as stoned as a stone. it did trip me out however that doesn't make this a good film. it is clearly made by some man-child who doesn't understand life.what flipped me off is Patrick Star and how god damn incompetent he is. Also Squidmanchild is just as grouchy as a certain geek called Lee. I rate this 4 as there was some trip moments but other than that this film fried my head electric red and now I have 22 brain cells
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!
