Movies: El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie

[JetsWillFly4Ever]

it was whatever

the ending was too predictable and i wasn't a fan of the whole "beef" with jesse and the kandy welding people. they tried getting the viewer to see them as the bad guys when they really didn't do anything evil

They didn't do anything evil?

Spoiler

The guy f***ing helped lock Jesse up to a chain and saw that they were using him as a slave and did nothing. That is evil.

I did not enjoy it at all.

I liked the idea of giving the show closure in terms of what happens to Jesse, but the movie itself showed nothing significant or interesting. It just showed him...running errands. It could have been so much better.

Production was great as usual (pictures, music, atmosphere) but the movie wasn't necessary at all. Didn't add a lot - if anything - to the (already finished) story.

But wow, Todd got fat!

There is a question, if after this success will they ant to continue with Better call Saul or will they jump to another serie?

BCS has last one more season coming (2020) IIRC.

 

[Rob Brown]

There was only one thing i was confused about:

Spoiler

was the beginning scene between Jesse and Mike a flashback?

What else would it have been?

I think there's 2 more seasons, or at least the next season will be broken up into two halves released over 2 years

 

[KallioWeHardlyKnewYe]

Meh. It was fine. A nice return to characters that interest me, so it's got that going for it. But otherwise it doesn't really add or expand on anything in any meaningful way. Entertaining enough but fully unnecessary.

Edit: Did want to add that Jesse Plemmons is great though.

 

[Hypernova]

I thought it was kind of boring. Nothing really exciting happened and it was way too long. They could have done the same thing in an extra 1 hour episode.

 

[chicagoskycam]

Compared to the crap on these days, it was fine. Nice closure or maybe a segway for Jesse to BCS. Great cinematography, acting and a chance to get the cast back together. If you were a huge BB fan you appreciated it. The gap and ageing of the actors was the biggest challenge. If they can go full flash forward with Saul you might have something again.

 

[SouthGeorge]

I enjoyed it. I think people are too far removed from the show and expected some crazy stuff. Honestly feels like they shot this and decided not to show the last 2 episodes and then just hustled Netflix. I'm glad they stuck to the successful script.

 

[kihei]

It was mostly just fan service but I enjoyed it.

It was TOTALLY a fan service but quite likable. Presents an almost certainly unintended but interesting moral dilemma: If you really, really like the bad guy, then the odd murder and other felonies don't really count, do they?

I read that Jesse Plemons was asked to gain weight for his last like 3 roles and El Camino was filmed in between some of them. Great actor, I don’t know of anybody else that could pull the Todd character off so well.

Watched it yesterday. Thought it was okay, loved this scene:

Nice done. Looking forward to another movie in 10 years.

Btw. one thing annoyed me a little bid: Todd (actor) has obviously bigger Michelin around his belly.

He had to gain weight for other roles.

Btw, if you want to know, where is Pinkmann now, here a little hint:

I don't get it.

I don't get it.

Dont they look like from one family?

I didn't feel like closure was served. For that to happen, I think we would need insight on his new life, and the movie stopped just short of that point.

Maybe they are saving it for another addition down the road, but the ending felt kind of abrupt to me.

That will likely happen in BCS

Meh didn't exactly blow me away. Not sure it was really needed but I guess for big fans who wanted to know what happens to him it might have made sense.
