The movie was pretty good, really liked. The visual style was lovely and really made up for some of the movie's shortcomings. They really made patrick a good character. He wasn't completely stupid and didn't need to be monitored by Spongebob 24/7.
Spongebob was a great character as well. They let him be angry and not a complete ball of sunshine all the time.
TONS of the jokes landed very well. Their was very few bathroom jokes, zero grossout humor that I can recall, and everybody seemed true to their original personalities (Besides Krabs and Plankton but I'll get to that later)
The lack of quality original songs was kind of disappointing. The songs they created were forgettable and cheesy. There was cameos that I didn't realize were cameos until I was thinking "This feels out of place, should I know this person?"
The Keanu Reeves bush, Sage, was a gag that I thought was funny at first until he became an important part of the story. It was just weird.
(SPOILERS START) The part where Mr. Krabs surrendered the formula to plankton because spongebob was gone for a day or to felt REALLY out of character for both of them. First of all, Krabs said that he gave it to him because "It just isn't the same without Spongebob" isnt canonically correct, as he was running his business years before he hired spongebob. He would never give up the reason behind his success to his mortal enemy just because his employee missed a couple of work days. Then when he gives it to Plankton, rather than being over the moon that his life's work is complete, he feels sad that it was an underwhelming victory. What? 25 years worth of work down the drain just because Krabs was sad? And at the end it feels like they just wanted us to forget that plankton had the formula and they never explained what became of it.
Then near the end when everyone is sharing why Spongebob shouldn't be executed, the flashbacks were only promotion for Kamp Koral. They were canonically incorrect as Spongebob did not conveniently meet all of his adulthood friends at a summer camp.
He met Patrick when he was a baby and met Sandy in Tea at the Treedome. They really threw off what would otherwise be an emotional scene to a boring ad campaign. (SPOILERS END)
Anyways, the movie is certainly worth a watch. The animation looks stunning, the jokes are good, the plot is simply but unwinds well despite the annoying promotions near the end.
