      Mr. Krabs: The Krabby Patty is what ties us all together! Without it, there will be a complete breakdown of social order! A war of all against all! Dark times are ahead! Dark times indeed!

      [He collapses to the ground, sobbing]

      Squidward Tentacles: Seriously? Aren't you overreacting a bit?

      [Scene changes to Mr. Krabs, Squidward and the Bikini Bottom citizens wearing bad clothes and the citizens ran away, screaming in the ruins of Bikini Bottom]

      Mr. Krabs: Welcome to the apocalypse, Mr. Squidward. I hope you like leather.

      Squidward Tentacles: I prefer suede.

    8/10

    SpongeBob's return to the big screen in a grand scale.

    It's been a decade since the first film, definitely a long wait for the fans. That film was a hit, but I don't know why it took so long for the second. Honestly, I loved this one too, albeit I'm not a die-hard fan, just a supporter. One of the beautiful cartoon universe with unique characters that can entertain all ages. The new addition, especially for this film only, the Antonio Banderas did his part wonderfully. Never seen before stunts in SpongeBob world that comes in the final battle.

    Whenever I review an animation movie, I usually bring 2D and 3D animation topics to denote how the technology has transformed. 'Asterix' from France, 'Doraemon' from Japan, and recently America's own 'Mister Peabody' remodelled in 3D and saw tremendous success. So why not SpongeBob, but only for a small portion they have tried and it was awesome. Most importantly the story blended well with the twist in the character reformation.

    This movie is in a second batch queue for the Oscar race, that mean a slim chance to get a nominee, but I don't think it will make. That does not mean the movie is bad, it was very good, so entertaining and super funny. Simply not an Oscar material, that's all. If anyone hasn't seen it yet, I absolutely suggest to try it out. I hope it won't take another 10 years for the next movie in the series.

    8/10

    • When Plankton was taking the key to Karen's cell from Patrick, why didn't SpongeBob catch Plankton before he fell into Patrick's belly button?
    • SpongeBob and Plankton went to find Patrick, Sandy and Gary to be in their team. Why not Squidward? SpongeBob knows he's smart, and really likes him.
    • As shown in the trailers, SpongeBob and the gang become super-heroes. What are their super-hero identities?
