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.

Hard figuring out what reason this has to exist other than for a money grab. Only fans of the series would be interested, and for the fans it's largely a hit-and-miss affair, with brief moments involving actors from the series. The most screen time goes to Jesse's interaction with Todd, which is rather poor (Jesse getting Ed to help him is better); meanwhile, the best moments involving Mike and Skinny Pete are all too brief.

In terms of being a movie it was alright. The thing that was good about the movie was all of the flashbacks and nods to the original show. I really appreciated the conclusion to Jesse's story!

The movie is great, absolutely fantastic down to everything. To the cinematography, to the writing, to the acting, it's brilliant as all things Vince Gilligan creates are. However, some parts were a bit of a drag, which pains me to say. I came into it knowing it would obviously not surpass the show because Breaking Bad is something you can only dream of surpassing in any sense of the word. But it's still great in its own way. Aaron Paul always manages to truly display what the character themselves are feeling in any moment, and Aaron Paul carried the movie.

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.

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

Ready Steady Cut

While El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie is moderately enjoyable escapism, it’s ultimately an indulgence that’s an extension of its series finale and may only offer a sense of closure for the creators involved rather than its fans.

Rated: 3/5
