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.

It's really well shot, really well acted, and it's constantly engaging.

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

With this film, the franchise has officially tied up every loose end and have left little to the audiences imagination. Jesse gets a nice send-off, but this film was unnecessary.

Slow at times but definitely a worthy watch and addition to the breaking bad universe giving Jesse a proper and more fulfilling ending, although Jesse Plemons’ weight gain and Bryan Cranston’s obvious bald cap kind of takes away from the time setting of this movie.

Better to treat it as an extended episode rather than a complete movie. It lacks a lot of oomph without a full story to go around. A lot of flashbacks that don’t feel all that necessary but there are still some very good moments with these wonderfully crafted characters.

Good but, basically, an average Breaking Bad episode on the big screen. Not bad but not extraordinary.

It's a slow mover, but very interesting. Focus is a must. Cool story line, but again, you have to pay attention! The gun sequences are way more real than ultra-hyped action movies of today. Explosions exist, nicely done. Many might find this flick boring, I found it engaging. Im giving it four stars. I might watch it again!
