This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. In every way as brilliant as you would expect it to be. An emotional roller coaster from start to finish and an absolutely phenomenal send off to one of the greatest crime dramas ever created. Vince Gilligan, you crazy son of a **** you did it again and I hope that I find myself saying this same thing again in the future… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It’s a must for all BB fans. Pieces of certain seasons where they might of been a gap they fill it in. It’s a little confusing, at least it was for me I don’t have the best memory. Really fun movie. It’s what happened after Jessie broke thru the gates but more than that it fills in what happened prior to where he was captured by the Neo Nazi’s. Loved it I need to watch it again. Everyone give it a 10/10 people. The fact they even granted us something is extraordinary. Jessie is a badass.… Expand

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 overI 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

Great ending to the story where it left off after Breaking Bad. It checks all the boxes that makes a great ending. Anyone who didn't like it are most likely dull, boring and suffer from poor hygiene.

Aaron Paul slides back into a much more traumatized Jesse Pinkman's skin while making the differences in the character seem natural due to the events of Breaking Bad's last season. The film deals with the blatant aging of characters by simply doing nothing and i'm so glad that Vince Gilligan opted to not use digital de-aging as it would have made certain characters feel more out of place. All of the Breaking Bad cameos help further Jesse's story and do not feel forced or merely used for fan service, without going into any detail none of the cameos take away from the film although i wish they found an alternative for a certain bald cap used towards the end of the movie. El Camino truly is a fitting coda to Jesse Pinkman's character from the masterpiece pop culture tv show that was Breaking Bad and Aaron Paul's performance given throughout the film further solidifies everyone's belief that he is an outstanding actor worthy of an award for his portrayal of Pinkman.… Expand

Completely loved this movie, it wasn't that kind of hyper action chase movie, and it definitely was a movie that made no sense unless you are a Breaking Bad fan. Nobody should watch this movie if they didn't watch or like Breaking Bad. It brought full closure to the franchise, there are absolutely 0 loose ends after this, so watch it knowing that chronologically, the only thing that could come after is the ending of Better Call Saul, but totally out of context. Loved the fact that Vince Gilligan decided to do the right move with this movie, not follow any Hollywood-like cliches and keep the fan base entertained at the same time. It basically felt just like a new, longer, Breaking Bad episode that had more cinematic shots and better camera quality. In the rest, some of the characters that made Braking Bad good are coming back to put as smile on your face for seeing them again. Loved every bit of it! Not to forget, Aaron Paul (Jesse), had a brilliant performance and proves once again what a talented actor he is. Usually sequels are a very delicate subject, especially if the main series has set a quality bar very high and El Camino knows how to blend the old and the new in a complete epilogue over the Breaking Bad saga.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Whilst there is a debate for how necessary this film was for the Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul story, there is no doubt that this movie was extremely well made and could work as a stand-alone movie without the assistance of the famous TV shows. Gilligan and Paul have come together to produce something special once again, with an extremely satisfying ending that Jesse most definitely deserved. Even if some cameos may have been there for the shock-value (looking at you Walt), almost each and every character has a purpose in Jesse's story. An extremely well crafted follow-up to the original series.… Expand

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

As expected, Aaron Paul gives an outstanding performance. The rest of the performances from the other characters, including the many cameos, are all great as well and are on par with the main series. The film uses a lot of flashbacks to help remind you of what happened to Jesse and how it has affected his life now. They work well for the story and allow for some fan favourite characters to reappear. At the same time though, the movie also retreads a lot of story ideas already established first in the series, so in that way the movie did not offer up a lot of new surprises. A lot of what happens in the movie is pretty easy to predict, especially where Jesse ends up at the end. So in a way the movie felt unnecessary, but it is still nice to see Jesse's story definitively wrapped up nonetheless.… Expand

Vince Gilligan is Breaking Bad. There's just no other way to put it. And anyone who knows George Vincent Gilligan Jr. also knows that he'll produce pure brilliance regarding anything and everything to which he sets his brilliant mind.

Breaking Bad the television show is often mentioned as being one of the greatest series of all time. Breaking Bad the movie should now be discussed in terms of being one of the greatest television-to-movie continuations of all time.

Nobody should be surprised. Gilligan wrote, directed, and produced 'El Camino.' Throughout the film's masterful puppetry of drama, humor, and violence, we know it's Gilligan who is lording over it all, deftly manipulating the marionette strings.
He's the reason why the show-and now the movie-exists as a tragicomedy that pirouettes at both ends of the tragedy-comedy spectrum. The same goes for David Chase's 'The Sopranos,' a show that similarly has its place on the Mount Rushmore of television. Perhaps Gilligan learned from Chase that humor makes the violence palatable and violence makes the humor essential.

Regardless, Gilligan put his legacy on the line by endeavoring to make 'El Camino.' In doing so, Gilligan doubled down, wagering everything on himself. The result? Gilligan won. Again.… Expand

Si certains détails chiffonnent dans le déroulement de la cavale du jeune Pinkman avec notamment un bon paquet de retours en arrière (il faut suivre), le rythme et la densité sont vraiment le point fort par rapport à la série qui se laissait aller à quelques lourdeurs pénibles.

Evidemment Aaron Paul est impeccable dans un role qu'il connaît par coeur et son personnage qui a acquis une expérience non négligeable (et formé à bon école avec le vieux White), s'avère particulièrement malin et tenace. Tout s'enchaîne ici en tout cas avec à-propos et quelques grands moments qui ont fait la réputation de la série mais ici condensés en deux heures véritablement passionnantes.

Un ultime baroud d'honneur qui vaut totalement le détour, de surcroît magnifiquement mis en scène, ce qui ne gâche rien !… Expand

Tis' a great year for television sequel flicks... If you're Breaking Bad or Deadwood, anyway. The film is an awesome epilogue for Jessie's story and definitively answers the series' one burning, lingering question...

Honestly an honorable ending to Breaking bad. It shows what Pinkman has been through and how his character has evolved. A certain flashback scene really answered a lot about Pinkman, loved that.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Flow was a little mechanical and some scenes needed editing down but subject-wise, a very focused and satisfying epilogue. It is about Jesse on survival mode leaving Albuquerque, that's it. The story's discipline can be a little frustrating such as when Jesse hears about Walt's death. As a viewer, you want to see a Jesse process this complicated event but all we get is 5 seconds of a brilliantly conveyed intense emotion on Aaron's Paul's face that has no one name and then, the a flash of headlights snaps Jesse back to primal concerns. The story seems to be saying: One day, Jesse will reflect back on Walt, on all of it, but it not this day. The missing scenes featuring Mike, Walt and Jane, I thought were relevant and perfect - the three most important people from Jesse's past giving him advice, in their own way, about the future. And that was what his movie was about - Jesse forging some kind of future.… Expand

The performances, the monologues, those gorgeous shots of Albuquerque and so much more worked in a way that escalated the series into being one of the greatest shows ever made. So even with the ideal closure that series finale provided, we were all still left wanting more. We got some of that with Better Call Saul, but now El Camino sets out to continue Jesse’s story after Breaking Bad and give us some more closure for one of our favourite meth dealers.

It starts off exactly where Breaking Bad left us, with Jesse speeding down an empty road finally free after months of being enslaved and forced to make meth by a group of white supremacists (that’s a heck of a strange sentence that only makes sense with a show as insane as Breaking Bad). But with the police on his trail, Jesse needs to find a way to get enough money together to get out of town and start a new life. Plus throughout the film Jesse is suffering with PTSD, being haunted by the ghosts of his past and his own mistakes.

The greatest compliment that I can give the film is that it fits in nicely with the rest of the series and upholds Breaking Bad's legacy. Vince Gilligan brings the same creative energy to this film that he brought to the original series and we get a lot of great moments ranging from nail biting suspense to the kind of dark humour that Breaking Bad always excelled at. Plus Aaron Paul is on top form as Jesse providing a few moments that are up there with some of his best moments from the show. It’s also really interesting seeing him play a younger Jesse during several flashbacks and how easily he can still slip in to the carefree version of him that we knew when the show was only just starting. Then only moments later the film will cut to the current Jesse, with the stark contrast in Paul’s performance being a strong reminder of how much the past few years ended up weighing on him. Outside of Aaron Paul we also get several cameos from some of the shows best characters (none of whom I’ll reveal, but the IMDB castlisting could give some surprises away). When we first see some of them it is a bit disjointing given that some of them are 6 years older since we’ve last seen them, but honestly I got sucked into the scenes so quickly that I quickly forgot about how different they looked. Two of the returning characters are playing substantial roles in the film and end up stealing the scenes that they’re in. The other cameos are a lot more limited and some of them were probably just fit in when the actors just had a spare day in their schedule to film their scenes. But they all work well within the context of the film and they all provide some interesting reflections on the morality of the past few years of Jesse’s life. Though the one defining feature that is lacking which the original show excelled at is the character development which was always at its core. Whilst it does provide us with a little more closure for what happened to Jesse, he’s still the same person that he was at the end of the show and the film doesn’t really tell us anything we didn’t already know about him after watching him develop for the past 5 seasons. Also whilst the show does provide a more conclusive ending for Jesse, it doesn’t really offer us anything that beats those incredible seconds of relief and pure agony that the show originally left us on.

Ultimately the film is a victory lap for one of the greatest shows of all time. So if you’re somebody who’s never seen Breaking Bad, you’re probably not going to follow much of what’s going on here and I seriously recommend either buying the boxset or watching the series on Netflix since you’re missing out on some great television ever produced. But if you’re a Breaking Bad junkie who’s been jonesing for some more awesome moments, this film definitely delivers. And who knows, with so many great characters I’d be open to seeing some more spinoff films in the future. Maybe one day we might even learn whether Huell ever made it out of that room.… 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

Whether or not this film was essential remains for everyone to decide themselves, but Jesse Pinkman being mostly overshadowed by Walter White, but now getting an epilogue just for himself, is kind of beautiful.

It's not really a stand-aloneWhether or not this film was essential remains for everyone to decide themselves, but Jesse Pinkman being mostly overshadowed by Walter White, but now getting an epilogue just for himself, is kind of beautiful.

It's not really a stand-alone film because you definitely have to have seen Breaking Bad in order to get the most out of this. And there are a handful of things to point out when it comes to flaws, like the semi stretched out story and the TV episode feel of this "movie", but I didn't feel like it was relevant at all to really nitpick all these things. It's all about Jesse letting go of the past completely and finding a new happiness.

Sure it takes a while to get going and the film relies heavily on flashbacks to give context, but it has its ways of creating tension to keep you interested, and eventually you're hit with the last 30 minutes that are definitely the best of the film, and I really really liked the ending. Say what you want or start a riot about whether or not this film has any reason to exist, but I sort of always imagined Jesse's story to eventually go this way. And Aaron Paul's awesome.

This whole thing just left a warm feeling inside my ice cold heart, even though I hadn't seen Breaking Bad for maybe five years. All the memories of this awesome story just came back in an instant. The ending to Breaking Bad was perfect, but this epilogue was nearly perfect for Breaking Bad aswell, so what difference does it really make in the end? Eat my a$$… Expand

So I was both excited and EXTREMELY skeptical when this film was announced. Thankfully, most of my concerns were for nothing, as this is an extremely well put together production. While I absolutely adore the beauty and ambiguity of Jesse driving off, joyful tears in his eyes, at the end of the show, there is still more to Jesse’s journey that we didn’t get to see. Aaron Paul is as good here as he was in the best episodes of the show; he hasn’t skipped a beat, and he’s totally Oscar-worthy. It nails the look and feel of the show, and the cameos from characters are wholly satisfying and awesome. It may be a little overlong for how much plot there is; I could easily see this being condensed down into the length of an episode, but I was never bored. I do wonder if this would’ve been better if it was instead a little miniseries of maybe four or so hour-long episodes (something that Netflix has done before with Gilmore Girls; hopefully this would’ve turned out a little better than that did) instead of a single two hour chunk, but I’m still happy with what we got.… Expand
