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 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

Lamar B The Spongebob movie is a fun Nickelodeon they had done such a great job because I am a huge spongebob fan I hope spongebob goes on forever it doesn't deserve negative reviews I love the animation they should make a live action spongebob movie Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/29/24 Full Review TROY S The animation is surreal and enjoyable as always, the voice-acting is tried and true, and everyone in the theater seemed to enjoy it thoroughly. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/25/24 Full Review Cartoon R 74/100 Bacana Um filme bem bacana, as piadas são realmente bem engraçadas e a animação é muito boa (Tirando a parte vida real). Mas o que faz esse filme não ser tão bom, é que ele é bem esquecível e as piadas, apesar de boas, não são memoráveis. Os personagens são bem legais também. Esse filme concertou a imagem terrível que o desenho estava naquele momento. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/16/24 Full Review Jose G Better than the original Entertaining movie I recommend it Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/11/24 Full Review Cristiano M La disfrute de Niño pero viendola ahora a mis 15 años me di cuente que es muy infantil. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/28/24 Full Review Isaiah G This movie was almost as good as the first one. Amazing, but not perfect like the first one.
