The movie has its moments (some of the songs are fun, as always), but like Plankton’s efforts at taking over the world, it’s ultimately a disappointment.

Rated: 2/5

Radio Times

SpongeBob Squarepants's diminutive nemesis, Sheldon J Plankton, gets a musical spin-off feature that starts well but runs out of nautical nonsense by the final act.

Rated: 2/5

The premise is actually just zany enough to be fun.

This spinoff perfectly represents SpongeBob SquarePants’ lowly state combined with the weak quality of Netflix’s catalog.

Rated: 5/10

AniMat's Review (YouTube)

Plankton may not have the secret formula to a great movie, but his love for his wife is just enough to make this visit to Bikini Bottom worth it.

Rated: 6/10

Common Sense Media

This series spin-off has a built-in audience for its beloved characters as well as some positive themes, but the evil robot plot could overwhelm the youngest (and annoy the oldest) audiences.

I am L

Me: For someone who loves being evil. Plankton is at least someone who actually cares about others deep down his evil chest that locks away his heart. Plus he more sympathetic & enjoying then Eugen Harold Krabs who lost his fans that those who love being at bikini bottom and hanging around with the enjoyable residents that live here a long time ago 🦀🧈 Story: 9.3/10 Animation: 9/10 Characters: 8.4/10 Overall: 96/100🖥️💗💚

The Plankton Movie was not the best and the older films were better. The quality of this film is not as good as the first films.

While nothing to write home about, the shreds of SpongeBob’s magic are starting to return. Even if the series is not as sharp as it once was, this was certainly a huge improvement over their last film.

Poorly animated movie: I don’t understand why this movie has to be 3d. I just don’t.

By the time the 17th awful musical number kicked off I was pretty much in hell with this movie. The animation style is really bad and I didn't get any sort of nostalgic bump for any of the characters.
