Spongebob becomes a man
It seems that the creative people behind Spongebob Squarepants created the feature length film instead of creating a seasons worth of cartoons. I would have preferred the season. There are far more laughs in each of the season one and two DVD collections than in this 80 minute film. In fact through the entire film I only laughed out loud twice.The Nickelodeon cartoons are more geared towards throwing out rapid jokes for ten minutes whereas the film takes a slower more methodical pace. As the voice actor of Spongebob said the film is more of a road trip. It's about Spongebob's growth as he travels to Shell City to find and return Neptune's crown. In the end Spongebob gains the confidence to become a, uh, laser wielding rock star?!?Ok, the opening is slow the ending is weak but I still enjoyed the film enough to buy it the first day it came out. If you're a Spongebob fan you'll likely enjoy the film, just don't set your expectations too high or you may find yourself disappointed.
