Mark Kermode Observer (UK) The live-action sequences, in which Antonio Banderas chews the pirate scenery, may not live up to the Looney Tunes madness of the cartoons, but for sheer head-scrambling craziness this is hard to beat. Rated: 4/5 Mar 29, 2015 Full Review Geoffrey Macnab Independent (UK) Intermittently, SpongeBob's latest feature is very funny indeed, even for non-devotees of the original series. Rated: 3/5 Mar 27, 2015 Full Review Wendy Ide The Times (UK) Sponge Out of Water has a frenetic, Looney Tunes pacing and a head-spinning, surreal story that makes you wonder whether it's aimed at children or stoners. Rated: 4/5 Mar 27, 2015 Full Review Richard Crouse Richard Crouse Gets a little water logged when the characters hit land and turn into CGI creations, but it never loses its sense of silly whether it is above or below sea level. Rated: 3/5 Feb 2, 2021 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com I had a blast with it and found myself laughing consistently throughout the film. Rated: 3.5/4.0 Sep 24, 2020 Full Review Rachel Wagner rachelsreviews.net t is definitely not for everyone and it was out there but I was charmed by it and it kept me engaged. Rated: B May 2, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Damon Hilarious and thrilling movie. A fun experience for SpongeBob fans and average moviegoers! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/10/25 Full Review BlueTop World b A great SpongeBob movie but not as good as the first one Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/18/25 Full Review Puppies H This is WAY stupider then Plankton and Sandy Cheeks. The animation is horrible (only when the get transformed into real life) And Spongebob wasn't even a good character! If you like Spongebob and get along with jokes, watch sponge on the run and miss this one, all of the characters are so stupid in any possible way! Please for the love of Tom Kenny, don't watch this! HELL, even avoid it! Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 07/07/25 Full Review Logan B. Soooo underrated! This movie is my favorite and my favorite movie of all time! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/05/25 Full Review Its abe S Honestly this movie is heavily under rated and over hated! I don't know why but i had the best time of my life watching the spongebob movie of all movies! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/25/25 Full Review Jackson K This movie is a mess.
