I'm one of the people who thinks the bag is scarier than the hockey mask, so I'm a pretty big fan of this one. While I was watching it this time around though, it just reminded me of The Town That Dreaded Sundown since the killer also wears a bag over his head. I think I give both films a similar rating, as well. Weird. There were a few things that crossed my mind during this viewing though. Like when everyone in camp goes to town and only a few counselors stay behind, Paul says they only have two cars. They take the two cars and drive off into town. Then when Vickie is getting ready for her evening with Mark, she runs out...to her car. These films definitely aren't without their flaws obviously, but the majority of them are still a lot of fun.
I also loved the pitchfork even though you never really got to see it used on anyone. Seeing Ralph finally get offed wasn't too shabby either. One thing that kind of left me scratching my head was the ending. Ginny gets carted off into an ambulance, but that's it. You don't see Jason's body or Paul's. Nobody is saying anything other than Ginny. Did Paul die? Did Jason get away? Did Ginny dream the whole thing? Was it Colonel Mustard with the candlestick in the dining room? Nobody knows.

Gareth von Kallenbach (971 KP) rated The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water (2015) in Movies

“Aye, Aye, Captain…………”
As if, one motion picture wasn’t enough. Nickelodeon decides to release a sequel to the well received 2004 movie, “Spongebob Squarepants.”
The game is afoot with pirate Burger Beard (Antonio Banderas), who finds a treasure map that leads him to a legendary book. This book tells the story of the day in the life of the residence of Bikini Bottom. Spongebob is hard a work flipping burgers at the Krusty Krab. Plankton as usual is trying steal the secret recipe to everyone’s favorite snack, the Krabby patty. In the midst of the battle to save the recipe from Plankton’s evil hands, the recipe vanishes in midair. When the town realizes this may be the end of the Krabby patty forever, everyone begins panic, panic turns into destruction, and destruction leads to a satirical play on every post-apocalyptic film imaginable. Always the skeptic, Mr. Krabs (Clancy Brown) turns the town and Spongebob’s closest friends against him. Forcing Spongebob to team up with Plankton, who has his own ulterior motives, to search for the recipe.
Plankton decides the best way to try to find the recipe is to invent a time machine so they can travel back to just before the recipe disappeared. Thus begins the adventure of travelling through time and ultimately ending with the entire gang, dressed up as superheroes, venturing on land to locate Burger Beard and get the recipe back.
Director Paul Tibbitt does an excellent job at taking all the visual humor that we’ve come to love from the TV show, and presents it with wonderful animation and stellar computer generated sequences for the dry land scenes.
Ninety minutes of Spongebob and friends’ zany antics, absurdities, and that obnoxious laugh is more than any parent can handle. That aside, you don’t have to be a fan of the show to enjoy those goofy laugh out loud moments. Definitely a movie geared towards kids!
