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.

Rated: 3/5

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.

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.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

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.
