Not sure if the pirates were completely necessary, they made a pointless and unfunny impression on me. But of course when you have David "The Hoff" Hasselhoff as a character, you can't get any better life action, except when you have Chuck Norris maybe. Only thing that looks better is the life action. There however is hardly any difference notable in terms of style and quality of the animations. You would normally expect from a featured animated movie to be better and more detailed than its television show. Krabs and Squidward are also present but unfortunately a bit underused in the movie, especially Squidward, who always is such a fun, grumpy and dry character to watch in the television show. SpongeBob and Patrick form a great stupid comical duo and Mr. Luckily the fun main characters are also present. Probably the only good new character is the assassin Dennis (Alec Baldwin).

She could had worked in the movie and its story if she perhaps had been someone's love interest (Patrick's). The Mindy character (Scarlett Johansson) is a pointless one. King Neptune has become a different character from the show and is this time voiced by Jeffrey Tambor. Many new but also many pointless characters are introduced. It falls flat, especially toward the ending, that is disappointingly simple and ridicules. The randomness works good and fun in the television series but its not quite good enough to fill an entire movie with, even though the movie is only 90 minutes short. The movie, the story and its humor mostly relies on its randomness.

But at least the story is bigger and more adventurous than an average SpongeBob episode. Fans of SpongeBob and its special humor will certainly enjoy this movie, although it's not as good as the television show.
