The Real Saints Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 It is what I hoped it would be. It doesn't reach the outstanding heights of the series, but it ties up Jesse's loose ends in a satisfying way which doesn't at all detract from anything which came before it. I teared up a little towards the end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derry Alli Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Still can't get over how fat Todd got. Terrible professionalism. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charger29 Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Pretty much leaves us where we ended in the original series. Don’t get me wrong, it was pretty solid but it felt like there was something missing. I feel the same. It was ok but not really necessary. It's difficult to criticise Breaking Bad but some of the flashbacks got on my nerves a bit due to how much older they looked compared to the original timeline. El Camino took this to the extreme. They unsurprisingly looked significantly older and sound different. It just felt weird seeing Todd/Walt/Jane like that.Still got Better Call Saul. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radford Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 The last batch of episodes were so good that they'd set the bar really high here. It was enjoyable if not outstanding but then the anticipation ahead of it piled the pressure on. Good performance by Aaron Paul but. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bully Wee Villa Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Was decent enough, quite enjoyed it. Especially the start, it maybe tailed off a bit towards the end. Still think it might have been better just to leave it how it was as the last few episodes were pretty much perfect television. Does leave it open for more films, especially once BCS finishes as wouldn't be amazed if they had another film to tie those two endings together. Failing that, maybe a Skinny Pete/Badger spin off? That would be ace. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardinal Richelieu Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Enjoyable - and certainly didn't drag out as much as BCS. Apart from the obvious that he's going to get spotted a mile off in Alaska, I thought the shootout was a bit ridiculous / contrived and didn't really fit in with Jesse not wanting to hurt anyone. Re: all the flashbacks. Everyone looked fine to me, except of course Todd. WTF happened there? Christian Bale and Robert De Niro managed to lose a shedload of weight for their roles - all Todd had to do was lay off the pies for a few months. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
well fan for life Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Overall a good watch. Some performance from Aaron Paul obviously. Todd could have at least laid off the steak bakes prior to filming fs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightmare Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Agree with much of what’s being said here. Not a lot happened, but nice to see some of the characters again and get some closure on Pinkman’s story. Todd is a great character. Size of him, though, f**k sake. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweeperDee Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 He was probably filming another role that pays more/demanded more of him at the same time as El Camino. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capt_oats Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Breaking Bad is one of those series that I've never re-visited after I finished it and I had drifted away from BCS by the end of the first season so I half expected to find myself just patching this after 20-30 mins like I've found myself doing with loads of other Netflix produced stuff but I really enjoyed El Camino. It's a really nice reminder of how good the original series was and as others have said it adds closure. Some performance from Aaron Paul too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Kebab Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Still can't get over how fat Todd got. Terrible professionalism. Every time he shags Kirsten Dunst, she gets him a couple of pepperoni pizzas, a couple of nice hot pies and a six pack of ice cold beer!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Hmm. A good performance from Paul and a pleasant cameo from Cranston, the end scene with him driving was a nice end to his story, just wish there was more ‘shitttttttt’ moments like in 95% of the BB episodes. Yep, terrible about Bob Forster passing on the same day it’s released. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_Stewart Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Watching the last five episodes before El Camino. Just finished Ozymandias. It remains the greatest episode of television ever created. Absolutely flawless from start to finish. Television perfection. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oxymandias was a triumph, the one where he was snowing it up in the arse-end of nowhere was fine but you could never really do much with it. Felina / Finale was quite the nonsense but okay, and El Camino definitely was a better way to end it. Better Call Saul however ... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
