The Road to El Camino: Behind the Scenes of El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie (2019 TV Short) User Reviews

Fans should consider this a gift

No one should complain about this being short, as they definitely did not have to do this. This is a small gift they put together for the fans and should be appreciated as such.

Very good.

It wasn't boring but it should have been longer. I like the easter egg they showed us, I wouldn't have noticed it. I feel like this short documentary could have used another name because this one is really long.

Could be longer

An addition to the addition

"The Road to El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie" is a pretty long title for this documentary short film that runs for over 13.5 minutes and the title is really telling what you got here. Not too long ago, Netflix released El Camino, the newest chapter in the Breaking Bad universe about half a decade after the series ended. It is definitely a contender for my favorite series of all time, so I am pretty curious about El Camino and I haven't seen it yet. This one here is a little appetizer. There are interviews with Gilligan, Paul, Banks, Ritter, Plemons and the recently deceased Oscar nominee Robert Forster too only to mention a few. We find out a bit about the backgrounds of the production, but I must say I did not like it as much as I hoped I would because really informative this was not apart from occasional remarks like the one about the director pf photography being a drone pilot. Instead, it is mostly the usual and everybody is talking about how great BB was, how memorable it ended, how nice it was to be back and add another chapter etc. I mean I love the show so much that I just cannot be truly disappointed here and I suck in everything BB-related, but I don't think with this documentary they really achieved something that was truly necessary to be made. I am not talking about El Camino itself, let me emphasize this again, as I haven't seen it yet. Still it was kinda nice to see all these actors and characters again. Also some whose characters died, so I guess from what we find out here, there will be many flashback scenes or lets say scenes that took place duing earlier Breakingb bad seasons. Many of the performers are doing pretty fine right now, be it on the spin-off Better Call Saul or just in other projects. Plemons for example has appeared in many big movies in recent years and Breaking Bad was a true breakthrough project for him. His career now looks maybe better than Paul's. As for him Jesse Pinkman will probably always be his career-defining role and hey things could be worse. Of course, Bryan Cranston you won't see in here and for him the breakthrough part is true as well obviously, even if was already having a long and successful career before the first time he showed up as Walter White. Okay, I guess that would be all then. It's an okay watch as a whole and if you are fan enough to buy the El Camino DVD at some point if there is one (I guess there will be), then you will probably enjoy this one. However, I don't really think it is gonna turn you into a fan. Then again why would you watch if you weren't one already. Thumbs-up overall.

Short but informative

Even for only being 14 minutes long, this short documentary packs in a lot of information about how some of the most memorable cast members were able to come back together to give us a last hoorah.

Greatest conclusion in history

El Camino is like a quality whiskey: it affects slowly yet deeply, makes you melancholic yet tranquil and most importantly, it feels like you never tasted something better.

It's great

[charliesxbl · 9/10 · 18 April 2021]

It's amazing. I don't understand why people have rated it so badly. Defo watch it but not if you've not seen breaking bad. It's a class film.

Only for breaking bad fans

[Umeshsonii · 8/10 · 13 March 2021]

Yeah surely movie was in little boring side.. but i watched it not as a movie, but as a last few episodes of Breaking bad... If someone is not familiar with breaking bad series, then this movie is super boring.. No story at all, it all about jesse collecting money to move Alaska that's it..

Okay if you like boring movies

[jd_bugman · 3/10 · 7 March 2021]

Doesn't seem like they put much effort into making this movie interesting! A lot of websites actually agree. Do a search for "El Camino was a boring movie" and you'll see what I mean. Dang that was two hours wasted.
