Hercules Posted June 7, 2024 Posted June 7, 2024 fuck I'm excited for another SpongeBob movie, what has the world become
Channeleven Posted June 24, 2024 Posted June 24, 2024 If Mr. Lawrence writes it I'm sure it will be good, after all how could one who voices Plankton fuck up a Plankton movie?
PizzaPizza72 Posted August 9, 2024 Posted August 9, 2024 ALERT! ALERT! THE MOVIE HAS BEEN LEAKED! This is not a joke. Hours ago, the full movie was leaked on 4chan, and has shown up on sites like archive.org as well. This is unlikely to be the final version, as the video has tons of text at the top. I will not provide a link, but feel free to share your thoughts. Remember: NO SPOILERS. 2
Hercules Posted August 9, 2024 Posted August 9, 2024 This is the best SpongeBob movie since the first one. I watched it twice and my point still stands. Spoiler The movie is so good that I don't have much major complaints. Plankton is my favorite character in this franchise and the fact that he gets to shine here is so good and the interesting part is he's not the only character worth talking here. Karen is the big bad of this movie and imo this is her finest role to date. She's such a menacing baddie in this. She gets to be badass, scary, funny and joyful. She gets to sing a villain song for God's sake, that's how much she is wonderful. This entire movie is about Plankton and Karen's relationship and how over the years, Plankton's obsession with Krusty Krab and treating Karen as a lackie instead of partner in crime led to Karen parting ways with him and starting chaos all on her own. I love Karen operating solo for a change and actually be a real threat to Bikini Bottom and to the World. I loved this movie further developing Plankton and Karen as individuals but also as a couple, further explaining the context of their relationship thru flashbacks. I liked that Plankton built Karen cuz he wanted a friend who understood him instead of him creating a love interest for himself, their relationship was built naturally instead of Karen already having romantic feelings for Plankton. And I liked this movie ending with Plankton finally treating Karen as his equal and realizing that the secret formula he actually needed this time was Karen instead of Krabby Patty formula, I loved that he tossed it away after Karen handed it to him and hugged Karen. SpongeBob was a supporting character here and my god, he's so funny in this and he gets to have his own journey with realizing Plankton's just a bad person and blaming him for driving Karen to the edge and he was right but what's lovely is that despite SpongeBob's justified anger, he still cares about Plankton cuz he sees best in people and that's what the character is all about to me. Side characters were used well too. Patrick with minimal time he had was good. Gal Pals' being badass women and crashing Karen's other units was lovely to see and I enjoyed them also giving Plankton pieces of their mind on the whole conflict. Krabs actually doing navy shit was good to see. Squidward didn't get to do much in this but he had a scene that I found funny. Jokes were good here. I loved them actually jokingly addressing "bs" phrase in this but still keeping it kid friendly. I was impressed with the amount of blood jokes they got away with this, even if the blood technically was ketchup. Supermarket joke was delightful, I love whenever Plankton gets sassy sometimes. Watch yoyo part was so good. Plankton's frozen college roommate got laughs out of me. I loved the reference to the first movie. It's just a good time. And one of the best parts of this movie is that it's a musical, songs here are so catchy and fun to listen to. I mentioned Karen's musical number here and I can't stop listening to that, it's so much fun. While 3D animation in this movie looks nice, I'm especially impressed with them using different 2D art styles in important sequences. Especially in Plankton's empathy trip sequence, that remains the best part of this whole movie. If I had any complaints about the movie, I think that the whole SpongeBob spying on people needed some resolution to me cuz I felt like it was gonna matter to his arc in this movie but it didn't lead into anything. I get that this isn't his movie and the whole invasion of privacy schtick was just a joke of itself but it would have been nice to see SpongeBob realize that that is not an ok thing to do. But I suppose integrating that further into the movie would have made it a bit disjointed, so I won't take too much issue on this matter. That's all I can say. The movie is really great. It has great character study of Plankton and Karen, SpongeBob was used effectively here, action and jokes were good, musical numbers were catchy. animation was solid, especially on scenes of different art styles and how it all come to an end was good. I highly recommend it to all SpongeBob fans. This movie's story was done by Mr. Lawrence and him doing this movie feels right cuz he has been voicing Plankton for 25 years, no one understands him better than he does and this will be his magnum opus in terms of Plankton. Rating: A 1
Jod Posted August 9, 2024 Posted August 9, 2024 I can't believe they got the guy who created story of undertale to produce one of the tracks 1
SneakyMcSneakyPants Posted August 11, 2024 Posted August 11, 2024 I’m not watching it til it’s official release, but thinking about this made me realize that there isn’t really anything wrong with the idea of character spinoff movies for SpongeBob any more than there is with episodes that focus on other characters (well, other than that it comes across as more gimmicky on paper, but this sounds like it has potential).
Jjs Goodman Posted January 17 Author Posted January 17 The movie will officially be released on Netflix on March 7th, 2025.
