Plankton: The Movie

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.

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.

This is one of the best sponge bob movies! The Sandy one was by far the worst ever made (actually I never liked Sandy character very much so I hadn't my hopes higher for that one).

Plankton is a great character to have a movie about, he is the villain and at the same time he is funny and charismatic and I like when him and SpongeBob bonds together.

This movie deserves a higher rate it is way better than the sponge bob out of water (2015) and Sponge On The Run (2020).

This movie was entertaining to me as an adult and can easily be a great movie for kids. The other sponge bob movies were just very childish even for some kids (except the first 2D one that is incredible)

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!

You know what, maybe SpongeBob movies from Netflix are not completely hopeless after all. Plankton The Movie might not be the best one, but probably the best SpongeBob movies in recent years. It has given Plankton his own movie and has handled the character very well. Sure, the plot can at times feel the movie tries to play it safe and the models can be a bit off. But the movie does make up for those for having great flashback scenes that gives growth for Plankton himself on why he started doing evil, good comedy especially from the snarks, a good amount of character development for the movie, some animation improvement, fun action, and some solid songs. I know that there will be those that want to watch this just to see how it improved from last time, and it surprisingly did. So I'll say this: Do you want to watch a movie about Plankton? I do think it will be worth a watch. Sure I know there's people that are tired of SpongeBob, but at least this one will be one of the better SpongeBob projects to get a good laugh. I'll be honest, I did have doubts for this at first based on my experience from Saving Bikini Bottom and I thought that was going to be how Netflix SpongeBob movies would go. But surprisingly, Plankton did manage to find a way to make his plan work for this film. Well, we are getting another SpongeBob movie at the end of this year. And it does contain producers involved with the first season. So all I can say is that Search For SquarePants better be really something great.
