Critics Consensus

Entertaining if not essential, El Camino adds a satisfying belated coda to the Breaking Bad story -- led by a career-best performance from Aaron Paul.

There's nothing about El Camino that is essential; while it won't tarnish your memories of the original series, it won't reframe or enhance them, either. It's a nice ride with some old friends. Sometimes, that's just enough.

For fans of the show who know these characters, that's a welcome conclusion for a story we didn't even know we missed until Vince Gilligan showed it to us.

White is one of the great characters of recent memory. He dominates the story of Breaking Bad like few characters. Pinkman doesn’t carry this story in quite the same way.

Rated: C

But Why Tho? A Geek Community

Fans of Breaking Bad will be delighted with El Camino, which not only adds to the world of the show – but as a love letter to Jesse Pinkman, even manages to improve upon an ending many thought couldn’t be beaten.

Rated: 9/10

El Camino did a wonderful job keeping me engaged and expanding on the Breaking Bad universe. We got more insight on Jesse and how his story closed. We also got to see more of his personal side and the situations he endured. The film was not bloated whatsoever making it a relatively easy watch. The pacing was also up to par as well.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Believe me or not, we needed the movie, we had a Walter series, another series but this time of Saul, and now we needed a Pinkman movie, this movie is like an extra episode of Breaking bad, it's like the closure of the series, I loved it.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars
