My first post and review! MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD, I'M NEW HERE AND DON'T KNOW HOW TO USE SPOILER TAGS.
I've watched spongebob since I was about 3? Spongebob was released in 1999, a year after I was born, and even as a baby, my parents said we watched it together. In 2004, I was ill in hospital, and as a treat after making it out of there alive, we watched the spongebob squarepants movie! it was beautiful, and it was and still is my favourite nickelodeon movie to date!
fast forward 11 years and my interest in spongebob died down a little, i mean, i still watched it but it was usually just repeats of the more less interesting episodes on nick in the UK. I played the CURSE OF THE KRABBY PATTY DS game as well as nicktoons unite! but yeah, other than that, eh, I lost interest.
But then I heard of "Sponge out of water" and was so so excited, so here's my review of the classic nicktoon in 2015.
The plot was interesting, it was something different as I totally didn't expect anything spongebob related to have time machines and time travel, I mean, i know there's the episode of spongebob where squidward goes into the "fuuuuutureeeeeee!" but I kind of just forgot so it was totally unexpected. The chemistry and relationship between spongebob and plankton was genius, nothing like I had seen before on the show. It's not like they never had any lines together or plots but the movie just was perfect with them as "friends".
The teamwork song was hilarious and the "right now i wish i was in a comaaa!" made me almost wet myself laughing in the cinema, along with the beautiful traditional animation, it looks even better in 3D. The time travelling transitions and the art style during that was mind-boggling, the way it reminded me of classic art pieces yet the characters wobbling and moving in mid air..
N.E.R.D's song, "squeeze me", fit perfectly and made it oh so trippy which made me smile like an idiot. Bubbles the dolphin's voice actor was great and the randomness in it was perfect. The CGI parts were, eh, okay, i guess, but it's only because i'm so used to the 2D drawn characters, kind of like when Jimmy neutron went into Timmy Turner's world and looked bad in 2D, it's just because we're not, or i'm not used to them being in different dimensions, unless it's a video game of course.
The pirate parts reminded me of Patchy the pirate, although it would've been great to actually HAVE patchy and maybe even the narrator in it, i mean, tom kenny plays / voices them both so why not?
This review was really badly written. Basically, I think it was amazing and no one should die without seeing it. It was great, the music score was awesome, the animation brilliant and the story was decent.
I honestly hated the superhero parts and the story book, i mean, I "get" the idea and I understand spongebob logic but this was just awful story telling and pure laziness to get characters to gain powers and expand the already long story. The book plot was okay, but I honestly think they could've come up with something a lot better and less cliché.
Summary :
Good, the movie was out-standing and I wish I could re-live the day I watched it because boy, I LOVED it! Go watch it in 3D too, it's awesome. 4.5 / 5
