Considering that the film was shot in only around 50 days and The Irishman was also filmed around that time. Which required Jesse Plemons to play a heavier character. I honestly dont blame him for not losing the weight.

I think it justified itself as long as you view it as an epilogue connected to Breaking Bad instead of a stand alone film. Your criticisms imply that the film was pure plot, an excuse to see Jesse get from point A to point B, but I would argue that Jesse goes through a significant amount of character growth over the course of the story that separates him from who he was in Felina. And because of this, beyond actually seeing Jesse achieve freedom, it's also rewarding to send him off as a matured person who is finally at peace with what he's been through. This is displayed with no subtly at all with the mirrored shots of Jesse driving away to freedom, from screaming and manic in Felina, to content and centred in El Camino, implying that the whole point of the film was to give Jesse the character development he deserved. In the film he says goodbye to his friends, reconciles with his parents by taking responsibility for his decisions, gains more of an understanding of Walt, and most importantly earns his own freedom againts his enslavers in a violent showdown. Obviously Todd is dead so they had to create a stand in, but the whole point was about Jesse confronting his own problems, all by combining the strengths of his previous mentors (Walt, Mike, Gus). Despite his intentions and being the moral centre of the show, Jesse's recklessness and impulsivity made already dangerous situations even worse, and by the end of El Camino he simply isn't that person anymore, but he was at the end of Felina. Thats why, to me, without this movie Breaking Bad feels incomplete.
To add onto this, we still don't know what Jesse Pinkman makes of his new life. The only information we have is that Jesse is a new, free man in Alaska; it's still up to the imagination what Jesse Pinkman does with his life from here on out.
Yeah I think it does. Breaking Bad was a show (for the most part) that would always show how things got done to complete a crime or activity. For instance after the pilot a lot of shows would move on rather quickly from what happened but BB went into detail about how they cleaned everything up and even threw in Crazy 8 still being alive for another problem they had to solve. I could definitely see Vince feeling very bothered that Jesse’s story wasnt wrapped up as cleanly as he wanted after the end of the series.
Yeah, that’s all super fair. It is every bit as good as the thing I had envisioned after breaking bad, and if you think that just envisioning something is as good as watching it, I don’t know what I can say to you about movies anymore
I’ve always enjoyed El Camino. It’s an epilogue and it’s nice to see what exactly happens to Jesse once Breaking Bad ends. While Vince has even said the film doesn’t need to exist, it’s nice to have defiant closure to Jesse’s story.
I really wish this would've focused on Jesse and Todd's relationship. I felt like there was a lot to explore there and it could've given more meaning to when Jesse finally takes Todd's life.
It concludes Jesse story better than what other UA-camrs, fanboys and clickbaiters made in their minds (also it indicates that Walter is really gone and not alive in some dummies theories)
Jesse squandered his first opportunity to escape through Ed. That was an open loop as the Breaking Bad universe doesn't take squandered opportunities kindly.
I mean i do teally like it but the vacuum guy is like my seventh favorite character in the show. And I really like at the end of the series when he takes Walt to New Hampshire. Just something about that vibe. It feels like a safe checkpoint for the moment so seeing Jesse try to get that. I don't know i just dig it
It would have been better to crunch the escaping Albuquerque section into the first 20 minutes and make most of the movie about Jesse adjusting to his new life in Alaska.
Seeing Walt in the diner reminds me of that scene in the SpongeBob movie where they’re all screaming “BALD” and pointing at neptunes head without his crown lmao
@HNfilms my bad English..ment didn't feel like a real movie Felt like an extended episode As an episode it's not bad As a movie not so good. Ps wish I discovered you guys years ago instead of today. Going over all the pods and loving it ✌🏼
The official title is "El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie". Their intention wasn't to make a standalone film at all. It was very clear that the purpose of the film was to wrap up Jesse's story.
This review honestly kinda sucks. People did want to know what happened to Jesse. And also no one really cares about how Todd looks besides you. It’s fine. It’s not nearly as distracting as you think. Not to mention this movie is a slow burn. It’s not “padded”. It’s purposely slow and methodical.
Unrelated but I can't see Jesse Pinkman anymore without flashes of his actor saying "I take responsability" in the most overplayed and cringey way possible. Lucky he hasn''t done much since, because it kind of ruin it for me now. If only the Hollywood actors could STFU between roles and promos that would be great.

Let’s put it this way. I rather have El Camino than any UA-cam video pretending to know they know what El Camino is about.
I think it's about Todd's weight loss journey
@@Styxelene????? Bro it’s obviously a documentary on the side effects of no hesienbussy
@@Styxelene leave his phat ass alone lol

@@Rex-golf_player810 good, now spread the word of heisenbussy and accept him as your lord and savior. You have took the first step of many miles.

It was 100% not necessary but I still enjoyed every second of it.

Don't quote me on this but I did hear somewhere that if Vince knew he was gonna make el Camino he wouldn't have killed off Todd
It concludes Jesse story better than what other UA-camrs, fanboys and clickbaiters made in their minds (also it indicates that Walter is really gone and not alive in some dummies theories)
It's great to see Robert Forster getting more recognition for the whole franchise. He's a truly great and prolific actor! RIP
Vince was probably gonna leave it alone, but I bet Netflix offered him a ridiculous amount of money for this. Might have talked him into it.
Better Pay Mortgage!
Jesse squandered his first opportunity to escape through Ed. That was an open loop as the Breaking Bad universe doesn't take squandered opportunities kindly.
I personally view this as a very long episode 17 of season 5
It’s weird how Todd gained weight and lost it in a short amount of time.

Does HN Films Justify Its Existence?
No.
Damnnn
it's just like mosquitoes
we didn't ask for them, we didn't want them, we don't need them
... but they are here
Seeing Walt in the diner reminds me of that scene in the SpongeBob movie where they’re all screaming “BALD” and pointing at neptunes head without his crown lmao
I feel it referred so much to bb characters that it was unsuccessful as a stand alone good movie
I dont think it was trying to be ‘standalone’
@HNfilms my bad English..ment didn't feel like a real movie
Felt like an extended episode
As an episode it's not bad
As a movie not so good.
Ps wish I discovered you guys years ago instead of today. Going over all the pods and loving it ✌🏼

I love el camino, but of course its just fan service. I dont mind a one-off as long as its not milked
Yes it does.
Thanks for watching!
The wild west scene is awesome, but yeah the movie's plot is kinda basic. I also agree that Jesse's final shot in BrBa was kinda better.
"cuz your my hero and sh*t" 😞
Art doesnt need to justify its existence. The question is stupid.
popcorners review when
Tomorrow
Do I justify my existence?
next video about Slippin Jimmy
For some reason I still haven’t even watched el Camino I watched bcs and brba and loved them both
yes, next question.

Agreed

Yes it does
Do you justify your own existence?
No
To me it was just so meh! Kinda like a b-movie. It was too even-keeled.
ok
No.
