Author Topic: SpongeBob SquarePants Don Anderson Master Film Handler Posts: 312 From: West Bend, WI, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 11-19-2004 08:54 PM                     Gotta love it. Corny songs, cute little characters. I've never watched the tv series, but enjoyed the film. David Hasselhoff, egads. He sure has a hairy back!!! Ugh. After viewing this film, I just had to run out and buy SpongeBob stuff. The kids are a loving it. Be sure to stay through the credits, there's extra footage at the end.  |  IP: Logged Dominic Espinosa Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1172 From: California, U.S.A. Registered: Jan 2004 posted 11-20-2004 04:08 PM                     I can't belive THIS is the movie everyone's dying to see... ***Possible Spoilers*** The fact that the jokes aren't really even funny should give it away. More often than not the "comedy" is achieved more by a stupid line and then a dramatic pause where they all look dumbfounded. The only joke I laughed at was the assasin taking off his sunglasses to reveal another pair of sunglasses. It was amusing.  |  IP: Logged Ben Holley Film Handler Posts: 65 From: Texas Registered: Feb 2004 posted 11-20-2004 11:54 PM                    i've never really liked the show but I loved the movie, Patrick in fishnet stockings...pure genius  |  IP: Logged Aaron Garman Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1470 From: Toledo, OH USA Registered: Mar 2003 posted 11-21-2004 02:00 AM                     I had never seen the show, but needless to say, I walked out during reel 3. There were a couple funny jokes, but overall, I just could not take it. It's a pity to see children growing up with this and not wholesome entertainment like He-Man and Go-Bots!

I slept thru part of it... and I still felt cheated...  |  IP: Logged Michael Gonzalez Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 790 From: Grand Island , NE USA Registered: Sep 2000 posted 11-23-2004 01:27 PM                     The Go-Bots!?! The Transformers was far superior.  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 11-25-2004 02:39 PM                       This one, I want to see. I purely LOVE SpongeBob! He's cool. And Patrick's wonderfully vacant. I guess you're supposed to already know the established characters from TV to get the jokes built around their personalities. Which, if you have a pre-teen kid in your house, you're well-acquainted with the drill. Surely, not re-introducing the personalities for the feature could be detrimental to carrying the show for general audiences.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-05-2004 10:16 PM                        quote: Dominic Espinosa The only joke I laughed at was the assasin taking off his sunglasses to reveal another pair of sunglasses.

Pretty bad when the best thing in a movie is ripped off from another movie -- in this case, "AIRPLANE," which (unlike this one) is a really funny movie.  |  IP: Logged Bill Gabel Film God Posts: 3873 From: Technicolor / Postworks NY, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 12-07-2004 02:42 PM                     It's a cute movie. When the pirate ship lands and they go to the Surf Theatre. The real theatre is called the Vista Theatre in East Hollywood, California. And the interior lobby and auditorium is the Vogue Theatre on Hollywood Blvd. across from the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood, California.  |  IP: Logged Jonathan Worthing Master Film Handler Posts: 384 From: Hereford, UK Registered: Apr 2001 posted 12-08-2004 06:57 AM                     Spongbob Square Pants rules I am so looking forward to seeing the film I may not Wait until it comes out on DVD sort of a busman's holiday  |  IP: Logged Alan Dallas Film Handler Posts: 48 From: Prescott Valley, AZ Registered: Jul 2004 posted 12-08-2004 08:15 PM                     Didn't/don't care for this one at all. Funniest part of the movie is the cookie at the end. "You folks have to leave!" Well actually I did laugh at the "I rode the Hasselhoff!" line. That gotta pretty good chuckle out of me. Otherwise, just didn't appeal to me.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-08-2004 08:59 PM                     I watched most of it the other day on the hige 60 foot Cineplex screen at Layton Hills after a service call. Great picture and sound and picture in decent focus considering the huge size of the 1:85 to 1 image! This film really has some original things going for it but in the end it seemed to come across as a low budget animated film that could have been a great film had there been more money and more production time. Hopefully the next installment will be done a bit better as this film is doing pretty well and has a large audience. Mark  |  IP: Logged Paul Mayer Oh get out of it Melvin, before it pulls you under! Posts: 3836 From: Albuquerque, NM Registered: Feb 2000 posted 12-27-2004 04:59 PM                        NPR's Fresh Air has a great interview up with Tom Kenny, the voice of Spongebob. His observations on voicing movie trailers had me in stitches.

I even have seat covers of him/it and Patrick. This movie was an exended version of an episode. I liked it. It was funny as the show is. I did have to bring myself down to a kid's level though and it was great 3.5/5  |  IP: Logged David Yauch Expert Film Handler Posts: 206 From: Mesa, AZ, USA Registered: Oct 2004 posted 12-28-2004 06:08 AM                     It's a story about a sea sponge, shaped like a kitchen sponge, with his sea creature friends and sea monster foes. Wow she can make anything sound ordinary.  |  IP: Logged
