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

FandomWire

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 heard about this movie after the release for “Saving Bikini Bottom: The Sandy Cheeks Movie”. I was worried that it would not be good, because of The Sandy Cheeks Movie being mid, I saw the trailer for this movie a week before it came out, I gotta’ say it was great. Then I saw the movie, Same results: great movie. I love the soundtrack, it was truly hilarious, no slow parts. Better than The Sandy Cheeks Movie, not as great as the first 3 installments. Still a great watch. 8.5/10
