I think this movie receives way too much hate, sure it's not as good as the first movie or the pre-movie episodes, but it's still really gunny and highly enjoyable. People should get the nostalgia sticks out. This movie has the same rating as Cars 2, which is actually a trash movie, on IMDb, which is totally absurd and ridiculous. Is it as good as original SpongeBon or the first movie? No, of course not, but it's an improvement over the crappy 6-8th seasons that ran before this movie came out.
