Featured reviews
Plankton: The Movie (2025) is a SpongeBob SquarePants movie from Netflix and it was very average.
Positives for Plankton: The Movie (2025): As an old fan of SpongeBob SquarePants, it was fun to watch these character getting into wild situations. The animation looks good even if I prefer hand-drawn animation. The voice actors do a good job here. The action scenes are fun to watch. And finally, the movie is short and didn't waste my time.
Negatives for Plankton: The Movie (2025): I don't like Plankton as the main character and he got on my nerves a lot. The movie doesn't do a good job at getting me to side with him and I was semi on Karen's side. The guy is so oblivious and delusional with his actions that I wanted to stomp on him. There is nothing likable about Plankton, so I don't understand why this movie exists aside from the obvious reasons. And finally, I didn't care if Plankton and Karen's marriage survived because they both suck as characters.
Overall, Plankton: the Movie (2025) is a harmless SpongeBob SquarePants movie and I'm okay with that even if I didn't give a damn about Plankton or Karen here.

I liked that this time it was about plonkton, and karen instead of spongebob. He was as evil as ever but I am glad in the end we actually got to hear about their love story and that he didn't choose the krabby patty formula over her. It was really cool knowing their origin story. As for these other reviews, saying it was better than sandy cheeks movie, that is a different style, and just overall pretty alright as well with some adventure. This was a bit cooler for the fact it was about the most amazing guy ever, Plonkton! Knowing she has different personalities and that fight scene getting plonkton to her, was quick but nicely paced., we all wanted him to get to his wife already to find out what would happen next!
Plankton wants to steal the Krabby Patty formula again and take over the world. It goes badly and Karen has had enough. She magnetizes the Chum Bucket which attracts all the metal in Bikini Bottom. She turns into a mega three-headed evil robot using all the metal to create a giant robot. In flashback, Karen is shown to be a calculator and a potato.
This is a Spongebob musical concentrating on Plankton and Karen. They used a variety of animation styles. It's interesting. The story isn't all that much. I'm not sure that it deserves a full movie treatment. I do like some of the songs. Maybe this is better as different smaller segments. It does run a bit long.

In this new installment of the SpongeBob movie, we delve into the villain's experienced psychologist: Plankton.
A new threat hits Bikini Bottom, and it's none other than Karen, who turns out to be the biggest villain of all.
This new adventure will immerse us in the crazy love story of the villains of this show. Half of the music was enjoyable and the other half was terrible. A few jokes for adults and as an extra fact: a tribute to the classic Plankton episodes that we all remember.
I definitely recommend giving it a try, it's not as good as the first movie but it's certainly better than the last four installments we've had.

This movie is a fun and nostalgic experience, especially for those who grew up watching SpongeBob SquarePants. It stays true to the humor and charm of the series while giving us an interesting look into Plankton's world. I really enjoyed learning about Karen's origin and how she became Plankton's sidekick, it was a great addition to his character and added more depth to their relationship.
The musical moments were simple but entertaining, capturing the lighthearted spirit of SpongeBob movies.
The 3D animation is different from what I was used to, but it looked smooth, colorful, and visually appealing.
However, the script isn't perfect, and the humans acting at the end was TERRIBLE. It completely took me out of the experience. Despite that, it's still an enjoyable movie, and I would rate it 7/10.
