I just opened the forum and saw this.... I'd forgotten! And I just happen to have a spare Friday night so I am all over this!!!
It's barely been out long enough for anyone to have watched it in full! And most in Europe won't be able to until the evening.Come on guys ... give some reviews !!!
You don't like Breaking Bad? I thought you'd enjoy something that was filmed in the neighborhood you spent your childhood at.
Wow great joke, it's easy to see why everyone likes you.You don't like Breaking Bad? I thought you'd enjoy something that was filmed in the neighborhood you spent your childhood at.
Really? It felt very different to Breaking Bad. The tone, the direction everything was different not that it is a bad thing. Tbf though its been a quite long time since I finished Breaking Bad.Enjoyed it. The direction and writing felt identical to a really good Breaking Bad episode, as if there wasn't a big time gap between it ending and them making this.
I thought you were from Detroit Pistons.Wow great joke, it's easy to see why everyone likes you.
I think that review is way too harsh even if I broadly agree that the film wasn't really needed.Its getting pasted by the Critics. Well this one at least.
Looked on Rotten Tomatoes and it seems to be getting 8/10 or B ratings. I'd probably agree, very good and left me wanting more even if I wasn't blown away.Its getting pasted by the Critics. Well this one at least.
The one thing that did bother me was
Why did the welder challenge Jesse to a gun duel? It seemed a bit unnatural even if it did make for a cool scene, can't help but feel this was added in just as an homage to spaghetti western movies. Also, the fact the second guy couldn't hit Jesse was ridiculous, he must have parkinsons with aim like that.
Jeez, that guy needs to chill out a bitIts getting pasted by the Critics. Well this one at least.

I stopped watching both BB and BCS before the end. Bored. I had no sympathy for any characters in the series, so I din't care how it ended. There's a reason why story-tellers create complex, and sympathetic characters - to hook their audience. Post-modern, irony for the sake of it, story-tellers need to get wise to that.I don't know about others but I started getting bored nearer the finale. All the decent characters, heroes and villains, were dead and then finally so was Walter.
Maybe the film could show he was saved by the cops at the end. Then meets up with Jesse to take on the South American drug lords. I'd watch that.
Yeah Fatt Damon was definitely off putting. Still a great character though.Think people were expecting too much where I felt it was perfectly pitched.
Yeah we didn't need to know what happened to Jesse but they done right by him in this.
Just the right number of 'flashbacks' and some really tense stuff with the new scum bag duo. Loved the shootout.
Only issue was Todd was far too fat. Guess you can de age people but not de fat them.
Fat Damon. Yeah he's a great character.Yeah Fatt Damon was definitely off putting. Still a great character though.
Was it ever in doubt?I enjoyed it. Nice little ending chapter. One thing that's not been picked up on muchwe have confirmation that Walter White died there. No return for his character.
Exactly this.It was completely pointless and if it wasn't made I'd never think Breaking Bad needed any sort of closure, but hey, it was entertaining as hell and a good way to kill 2 hours, so feck it, why not.
He was under Walt's bald cap.I'm just glad Flynn wasn't in it.
