The movie has its moments (some of the songs are fun, as always), but like Plankton’s efforts at taking over the world, it’s ultimately a disappointment.

Rated: 2/5

Radio Times

SpongeBob Squarepants's diminutive nemesis, Sheldon J Plankton, gets a musical spin-off feature that starts well but runs out of nautical nonsense by the final act.

Rated: 2/5

The premise is actually just zany enough to be fun.

This spinoff perfectly represents SpongeBob SquarePants’ lowly state combined with the weak quality of Netflix’s catalog.

Rated: 5/10

AniMat's Review (YouTube)

Plankton may not have the secret formula to a great movie, but his love for his wife is just enough to make this visit to Bikini Bottom worth it.

Rated: 6/10

Common Sense Media

This series spin-off has a built-in audience for its beloved characters as well as some positive themes, but the evil robot plot could overwhelm the youngest (and annoy the oldest) audiences.

It was alright. Originally, I thought the plot started out good, but kinda went all over the place after. Had some laughs, and the visuals were pretty fun. The movie just felt like a long drawn out cut scene from a video game.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

its amazing. I cried at the end of the movie, I'm not lying, it was so amazing and refreshing to see a giant mechanic monster take over bikini bottom, unable to be defeated by just one person. I don't understand why people don't enjoy the movie. I had my hopes down but I was so surprised when I finished the movie. absolutely amazing, and I hope they make even more SpongeBob movies.
