Jeff Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 Who else has watched this then? Was afraid the film might be a massive flop but enjoyed it. Happy Jesse is finally free and managed to leave something to Brock. Walter scene was a bit random Quote
Better call Saul Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 I am glad I watched it loved skinny Pete and bagder with thier usual banter I was happy with the ending. Quote
tokyowalnut Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 Just finished it. Enjoyed it, wasnt quite sure what they were going to do with it, but a good way to round it off. Quote
AlimOzturk Posted October 12, 2019 Posted October 12, 2019 (edited) Was not terrible but they should have left it alone. Was a great ending to breaking bad the series already Glad Jessie got some peace at last though. The weight gain on Todd though makes the flash backs more ridiculous Edited October 12, 2019 by AlimOzturk Quote
Col1874 Posted October 12, 2019 Posted October 12, 2019 I was disappointed, breaking bad was really good and whilst El Camino was 'ok', I expected it to be better. Quote

Cruyff Turn Posted October 12, 2019 Posted October 12, 2019 I thought it was alright, kind of tied up the loose ends with Jesse. Quote
Ray Gin Posted October 12, 2019 Posted October 12, 2019 It's more like 2 additional episodes joined together to wrap up Jesse's story than a proper standalone film. It wouldn't be a great watch for anyone who hasn't seen the series. I enjoyed it though. Quote

Steve_Jersey_HMFC Posted October 12, 2019 Posted October 12, 2019 (edited) I enjoyed it. It was more like an epilogue long episode than a movie. I was glad in the Uk we got it on Netflix as perhaps some of those criticizing it are doing so because they are in the US had to sit in a movie theatre for 2 hours (which I wouldn’t have wanted to have done for this) enjoyed the cameos in flashbacks. Apparently Bryan Cranston didn’t shave his head again but used a bald cap thing Todd getting body shamed online. The difference is ridiculous though, I watched the last couple of episodes of BB last night to get in the mood so could notice the difference even more. That aside , his involvement was great, his nonchalant attitude regarding the cleaner. Never mind Fring, or any of the Salamancas, this guy is the biggest psycho in the BB universe Edited October 12, 2019 by Steve_Jersey_HMFC Quote
Dean Winchester Posted October 12, 2019 Posted October 12, 2019 Everyone's talking about Todd putting on a bit of weight. The tarantula looked completely different as well... Quote
TheOak88 Posted October 12, 2019 Posted October 12, 2019 Thought it was decent, but like others say it didn’t feel like a movie, just like an extra long episode. An enjoyable watch though. Quote
Riddley Walker Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 I enjoyed it. Had some excellent set pieces and ideas which the BB team was always great at. The whole flashback with Todd and subsequent search of his house was brilliant. Quote
gashauskis9 Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 Was like an episode of Twin Peaks, but not a good one. Could have easily condensed that into an hour. Too much dead time. Quote

The film actually makes me look back at his character differently. I thought he was just naive and simple however the film brought out a totally different side to him. Proper psycho nutcase Quote

indianajones Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 Thought it was good. They need to crack on with better call Saul now! Quote

hughesie27 Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 How is Mike alive and what was the point of him even being in the film other than to say Alaska. Quote

Jeff Posted October 13, 2019 Author Posted October 13, 2019 It was a flashback back to the days where the three of them were working together. Random excuse to get Mike involved though Quote
Jambos_1874 Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 (edited) Just finished watching this - massively disappointing. I didn't have any expectations as to what it would entail, but I found it quite tedious to watch, with nothing of real note happening. Not saying the acting was poor, just that it was simply an utterly boring film that in many ways felt unnecessary. Edited October 13, 2019 by Jambos_1874 Quote
JimKongUno Posted October 14, 2019 Posted October 14, 2019 Watched it last night, Its like better call Saul - load of shite It doesn't work without Walter, Hank and Gus Fring, they should just give it up and stop trying to milk it Quote
vegas-voss Posted October 14, 2019 Posted October 14, 2019 3 hours ago, Lord BJ said: I agree. I much prefer It to BB. Can’t really explain why as it’s is very slow paced, for the most part. I think it’s the character relationships that I find so good, maybe due to wanting to know how they become what they are in BB I can get why it’s marmite though. Think Better Call Saul is a slow burner but the more you watch the better it gets Quote
