Al rescate de Fondo de Bikini: La película de Arenita Mejillas

I don't know if it's that I'm growing out of the franchise or what, but this was really bad. Don't get me wrong. I loved watching SpongeBob growing up and it had a special place in my heart. I'm hoping it's just a a Netflix issue, but again, this sucked. If you're going in here expecting the classic SpongeBob shenanigans you're going to get that. It's the human stuff that sucked. It was cheap, low quality, poorly written, and even cringe inducing. For a SpongeBob movie, you need to focus on your main characters. I did however like the Cheeks family. The writing just wasn't good. I just don't think SpongeBob and humans mix well. It just seems like the SpongeBob franchise is one that is hard to translate from short TV episodes to full length movies.

Out of the blue, Bikini Bottom gets scooped out of the ocean by BOOTS (Bureau Of Official Texas Science) Laboratory and Water Park. Sandy and SpongeBob avoid capture. Sandy knows them. The duo sets off to rescue everybody.

I actually like the first part of the movie up to the first drop to BOOTS. I didn't understand the low rating and then I saw the rest of the movie. I hate the family. They are just annoying chaos for annoying chaos' sake. I never really needed a back story for Sandy. It was always better to leave it up to the imagination. The infinite worst part is Wanda Sykes and her two minions. This is a bad version of Spy Kids. I like the original Spy Kids for what it is and it is not the same as SpongeBob SquarePants. Somebody do not understand why SpongeBob is good. It is not being a wacky kids show.

The CGI is really bad and unsettling at some moments like Kamp Koral but the writing is also lazy with some weird foot fetish moments despite people who work on the show being involved on this. The villain is also boring and it's just a generic diverse female Ernst Stavro Blofeld type villain who's mostly a ripoff of Burger Beard from Sponge Out of Water but without any of the charm that character had. The musical stuff were unnecessary and the CGI animation didn't help unlike the musical scenes from the previous films like i'm a goofy goober which were catchy and the new characters like the robot horse and Sandy's family are extremely forgettable. Better wait for The Search for Squarepants instead of watching a low budget TV film ripoff.

So i just saw the Sandy Checks movie and it's hands down the worst ever SpongeBob project, The storyline was really rushed, the humor was embarrassingly bad, and the animation was far beyond terrible, not to mention the CGI being worse then Green Lantern. I really don't like the new characters and i think the actors could have done a much better job, and the writing for this movie is so bad that it's undesirable. This movie should have been about SpongeBob and not Sandy. I hope they learn from their mistakes for the next movie and fingers crossed that they make the animation OG SpongeBob style.

...it really took a turn for the worse. The first half of the movie wasn't that bad. This movie was initially like putting on a comfortable pair of pajamas, comfortable and familiar. But at the specific point where my family all turned to each other and said, "That's just like Shark Boy and Lava Girl" (if you've seen this movie, you'll know exactly the moment), that was the point of no return. It was all downhill after that.

All of the familiar characters were well performed. As for the human element...geez. One of the characters at one point asks, "Wait...we get a paycheck?". Yes, and that's clearly all this was for.

The lackluster performances and abysmal CGI drag the movie down to the point of not being enjoyable. 4/10 is maybe generous, but that's where I'll land.
