Like many people, I believe that breaking bad is the best tv series of all time. Much of this credit goes to Vince Gilligan who is meticulous for detail and placing strands that eventually weave together to form a brilliantly coherent story with no stray threads. This is the main reason why I am so disappointed in El Camino: With Gilligan's eye for detail, why on earth didn't he tell the actors to try to get in the same shape they were in 6 years ago? Nobody is shaming anybody for their body image, but all the comments regarding "continuity" are well founded when we are so used to masterful story telling and world building from Vince. It is distracting and takes you out of the moment. The writing is also not at the level we are used to - we are made to believe that Robert Forster's (RIP) character was a true professional by insisting that Jessie pay the full amount due. I'm fine with that, BUT if you want to portray the character in this way, why on earth would he leave the vehicle that he uses to smuggle away the state's most wanted criminals in plain view at his place of business?? It makes no sense and is out of character! However, the real reason he asked for the full amount of money was so we could see Jessie have a wild west duel with a welder for some reason..... What happened with the writing here??? Aaron Paul's acting was very good, but I'm sorry the whole thing felt like it was made solely for the money. I understand that the reason why people work is for money (writer's, directors etc), but you should at least stick to your vision and not rush these things for a quick paycheck.

The longer I think about it, the more disappointed I get. The entire movie felt like a fan fiction. The Wild West shootout? Really? All the new characters, none of which are remotely memorable? This movie just didn't need to happen. It didn't help that the characters look visibly older (and in Todd's case, 10x fatter) which takes you out of the experience. It wasn't horrible, but it isn't good enough to stand alone, nor is it up to the quality of Breaking Bad Season 5, where the franchise left off. I just wish this movie didn't happen.

Seriously, do yourself a favor and ignore any 10/10 perfect scores. It's a fine conclusion to Jesse's story but not some masterpiece. This is a movie that we all honestly could've done without and have done without for what, the past 5 years? This movie has it's moments but it is never brilliant like the show. Even taken on its own, as a movie, it's nothing special. For a movie to be a 10 or even an 8 you should be special and this movie very much isn't.
