Bairnardo Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Think it's fair to say Todd has been hitting the smack between Breaking Bad finishing and El Camino being filmed. Fat bloated whale. Life appears to be ok for him.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MONKMAN Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 I dislike ALL of the characters though, except Saul and Mike who havent appeared yet. Everyone else is arseholes. Doesnt stop it being very good but its a harder watch than some box sets because of it. I blitzed it all the past couple of weeks in time for El Camino. Agree pretty much about them all the main characters being c***s, except Mike and Saul. Special mentions go to Huell and Kudy for being great though. Just watched El Camino. Thought it was an excellent way to round off the series. Particularly enjoyed the flashbacks to Jessie’s time as a prisoner. The scene with Todd in the desert shows how broken he was. It was good to see him drive off into the sunset, or snow in this case, at the end. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweeperDee 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t get me wrong, it was pretty solid but it felt like there was something missing. Surely the police will still be looking for him? I know Alaska is remote but are you telling me nobody there would recognise him?Very good film though. 2 hours flew by despite it being a slow paced film. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DigOutYourSoul Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Felt like a nice way to tie up Jessie’s story.But agree that people will surely recognise him in Alaska. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...

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...
