It's like how it has to be. Maybe they could more Walter scenes. We missed Walt. Respect. Nearly Perfect.

It's Pinkman's ending. As such, you will get to see more of the unlucky events that always followed the character. It is a "good" epilogue for an otherwise masterpiece.

still, this film serves its purpose wonderfully, and there's nothing wrong with it, it was beautifully shot and acted, it just didn't scratch my itch.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 6 years on and Vince and the team show they can still deliver the badly broken goods :) El Camino serves as part fan service/ part epilogue to the tale of Jesse Pinkman. Intriguing cameos from some of the quirkier supporting roles from throughout the series, some in the form of flashbacks such as the pathos filled moments from jesses time in captivity. There is a great reunion scene with walt towards the end. Overall take away is more high quality tv for true fans to enjoy.… Expand

This is the movie I was most nervous about seeing but I can say that it delivers. Aaron Paul is great in this and it is a great closing story for his character. Breaking Bad fans are going to love it.

I was transfixed from beginning to end. I loved the characters and development. I was a huge Breaking Bad fan so that it was perhaps easier for me to follow all the achronus scenes.

I wouldn't call it a complaint, but not much happens over its duration. You see a lot of scenes, especially for the first half of the film, which seem episodic. It comes off feeling like an indie film rather than a drama or action movie. I liked it that way; it doesn't feel like most movies now, and that's mostly why I haven't watched a movie in five months. In any case, by the end of the film I think all the little stories have come together to explain Jesse's motivation and what to feel about him.

I thought it was a very good, motivating movie. It's a fun drama to watch and captivating. Maybe it's more for a Breaking Bad fan and someone who's not expecting some kind of modern movie that's going to mean something to the viewer outside the context of Breaking Bad.… Expand

Even though this movie doesn't reach the same level of perfection as Breaking Bad Season 4/5, it's still a very good epilogue in my opinion. I recommend everyone who absolutely loves this universe to watch El Camino. Most of the extreme 0 and 1 downvotes are coming from people who see Breaking Bad as a masterpiece that should never be touched again. They're afraid that the show could be ruined (like what happened Star Wars multiple times). However, I hope that they continue to make shows and movies in this universe because they're not changing anything. They're only giving us new stories and more content.… Expand

La maestría y creatividad de Vince Gilligan en presentar un cierre definitivo para Jesse Pinkman respetando la esencia, estilo, formula y técnicas de la serie original hacen que este nuevo capitulo de la historia sea un brillante fan service, considerando la excelente interpretación de Aaron Paul y de la fantástica fotografía. Es lenta, muy personal, cierra muchas incógnitas, relaciones y subtramas que quedaron abiertas en la serie de televisión. Sin embargo, también deja a varios personajes en situaciones en donde por ahora no sabremos cual es su paradero -probablemente aprovechen este aspecto en Better Call Saul- pero a la vez esto es bueno, pues la historia no pierde el tiempo moldeando subtramas, esta es una película de Pinkman. Las mejores escenas de la cinta son los fascinantes flashbacks en donde podremos apreciar aun más el nivel de psicópata de Todd y como nuestro protagonista sufre y carga con el trauma, miedo y los estigmas influenciados por estos personajes. Está de más decirlo, pero lo diré: Si no has visto Breaking Bad, no veas esta cinta. No solo no vas a entender gran cosa de lo que está pasando, también te vas a arruinar todas las sorpresas y giros de guion de la mejor serie de la historia.… Expand

Aaron Paul aka Jesse Pinkman is rightly the protagonist of the film because he delivers a great performance. Acting at a very high level, on the other hand, the narrative structure of the film is unfortunately too simple, sometimes lengthy. Many flashbacks accompany the film, which is a bit annoying in the end.

All in all, it's a worth seeing return to the breaking bad story.… Expand

Aaron Paul yet again brings his A-game to the character of Jessie in a new chapter of his life, where he begins to be a lot smarter with his actions and a much calmer and remorseful person. Vince Gilligan also does a great job as a first time director of a feature with interesting cinematography and a good pace and rhythm. None of the actors had really aged since the finale episode of Breaking Bad to the point that it became distracting except maybe for Jesse Plemons whose gained a bit of weight since then so that was a bit confronting (especially after seeing the Breaking Bad Recap Netflix plays before the film).

So yeah, El Camino is certainly a must watch for Breaking Bad fans and could defiantly still be enjoyed by people who haven’t even seen the show although they wouldn’t get the same amount of fulfilment by any means. Check it out gang, it’s on Netflix right now it’s not that hard.
