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

I loved that they did separate add ons of just Jessie’s life from breaking bad. I feel so bad for Jessie. He went through so much and it honestly broke my heart.. I’m glad he got his happy ending even if he was alone..

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Ignore this movie and Breaking bad is perfect. Even better call saul. This movie is extremly bad and does more harm to the universe of BB.

This was a good conclusion for the character of Jesse Pinkman for sure. While the movie had its minor issues and while the flashbacks were a bit much at times, I liked seeing 2 old characters that were brought back from the show to show their special moments with him. Throughout the film, it was very tense as well and I liked the suspense. Aaron Paul is a great actor and was cast perfectly for this character from the very beginning!!

O filme simplesmente consegue finalizar a história da série perfeitamente, até daria uma nota 5, porém tem dois detalhes que me incomodou, o primeiro seria que seria impossível ser melhor que a série, e o segundo seria que o Walter ficou com um cabeção no filme, mas não tem nada que eu gostaria de mudar no filme!

El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie is a gift for fans, providing a high-quality, suspenseful, and emotional epilogue to Jesse Pinkman's story. While perhaps not essential to the larger Breaking Bad narrative, it is an entertaining and satisfying coda that delivers closure for one of television's most beloved characters.

Great movie. I wish it was even longer because I never wanted this series to end but it had to.
