    i thought it was excellent.
    Kind of slow moving, but so much wrapped in seeing characters and catching jessie's captivity experience a bit. I didnt dislike any of it and could probably watch 2 more hours, especially if skinny pete and badger play video games.

    Would it have killed the todd actor to lose a few pounds?

    Aaron Paul was brilliant.


    In all, it stands right up with the series and compliments the story

    Really enjoyed it. Fits right in as a nice epilogue to the series. Todd as psychotic as ever. Favorite line was when he asked Jesse if he wanted to say any last words out in the desert. Jesse's look was priceless. Amazing to see Aaron Paul really pull off the casual free spirited Jesse in those flashback scenes.

    Gilligan ended it perfectly as another chance to come back to it on its own or as a possible tie in for whatever is in store for Gene in the BCS universe.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    Enjoyed Camino but had to really get used to Todd being much older looking for the "flashback" scenes

    Had to get used to Todd being significantly heavier.

    Agreed.  I feel like my expectations were so high that I almost felt a little let down.  It was still very good.  Will have to watch it again soon.

    Just thought of this, but I'd think traveling in that tiny secured compartment to Alaska would have been a little more of an unlikely option after all of the PTSD they initially showed Jesse going through from being in a cage for a year.

    I wish they followed up on skinny Pete a bit..How does he get out of having that car in his driveway? The story he came up with is certainly aiding a fugitive..

    Yeah that would have been interesting to see.  That whole scene from the trailer where the cops are interviewing him was left out of the movie completely.

    I was surprised by that.

    While I enjoyed a trip to the theatre with a couple of buddies, I could’ve totally settled for just watching it on Netflix. It was good, a nice little epilogue sprinkled with flashbacks we didn’t see before. A little slow moving, I don’t think it needed to be a 2 hour movie. Probably coulda summed it up in a 75 minute extended episode. Pleased, but it didn’t inspire awe.

    I would agree that it follows the Better Call Saul trend of taking 75 minutes of material and getting 150 minutes out of it ... hell, maybe Breaking Bad was that way too ...  been a while since I've watched it.

    Overall it was good.  If this was a QB playing on MNF, it would have been 289 yds, 23/31 comp with 3TD / 1 INT

    Enjoyed it. Didn't stray away from Jessie at all. I thought the 2hrs was fine. They needed the flashbacks to fill in the story line they came up with. I wish it was longer. I can never get enough of BB material.
    Alright, alright, alright!

    Agreed. It was basically like a really awesome two hour episode of BB.

    Yes.  The Skinny Pete and Badger Show.  And do it 70's sitcom style with a "this week's special guest" bit.

    The show has kind of explored the comedic mini-verse with the Malcolm in the Middle alternate ending.

    Solid movie. Not great, didn't have to be two hours, but really good.
  • mca47mca47 Posts: 13,291
    I though it was fantastic.  First half hour was a tad slow but overall I though it was brilliantly done.

    That refrigerator door would have been hella heavy. I wonder if it would have been heavy enough to make the fridge tip a bit when opening. Thoughts?

    Todd did mention it would take some engineering to work. Could have weighted the back end to keep it from tipping when the door opened.

    So. . Why Jesse didn't shot Todd in the desert? 

    Because of Brock?

    Yes. Remember that he said that it took some convincing with Uncle Jack to let him stay behind to watch Jesse (discussion before he would allow him out of the concrete pit) and something to the effect of a deal and the little boy.  Remember also there was a photo of Andrea and Brock we saw they had hanging in the meth lab they had there. Showed it both in BB and in EC.
