Breaking Bad: The Movie

Admittedly, I don’t keep up with pop culture much, but how did I not know that a Breaking Bad movie was coming? I’m also surprised that given its popularity a thread hadn’t already been started.

Here’s a nice summary for all the luddites like me that didn’t know this was coming:

Hopefully they don’t shit on their legacy.

I think the objective Gillian wrote with was he was a generally good person that went down a bad road. Whereas Walt was a generally bad person that went down a good road until he broke bad. There is an interesting dichotomy there.

Moreover it is a reflection of real life. Virtually no one is always good and chooses the right thing.
Jessie grieved over kids getting shot or hurt while Walt treated that as business decisions. Agreed, he wasn't perfect, but in a show where "heroes" did some really awful things Jessie is easily one of the more redeemable characters in the show.

It was ok. You can tell it was made by tv people cause it dragged like ****ing hell. It should have been like one and a half ours or 1:45 instead of 2 hours. I wouldn't call it a bad movie but yeah, it was slow and boring. And Im a big fan of better call Saul so I'm used to slow but sheesh...

Fwiw, the first 30 or so minutes were great. Badger and skinny Pete killed it. Wish they would have stayed involved somehow.

I don't know if you really can "root" for a BB character....they are all complex with positive and negative attributes. I gues Hank would be the closest to a hero archetype, but he is such a douchebag you really can't root for him.

I know I really could not stand Jesse from the beginning. He is a coward, a poser, and ****up. Just a complete shit show of a character, whose only real purpose/value was to introduce Walter into the seedy world of meth.

This again speaks volumes to the ability of Vince Gilligan. He wrote despicable characters yet made the show so goddamn engrossing and nearly perfect.

I don't know if root is the right word but there were sympathetic characters with Jesse being the main one.

I enjoyed it for what it was. It was a really good reminder just how much anxiety the original series was able to generate during episodes. As someone with misophonia, the throwback diner scene with Walt, and Jessie chewing and talking with his mouth full was excruciating to watch.

Yeah. She still sucks.

I watched it last night and I thought it was HORRIBLE! This show just doesn't make for a slow movie. I just didn't see the point in making this film - other than knowing their fans would think this would be good.

Reasons this movie sucks:

1. Jessie/Paul just isn't a good enough actor to handle the load.
2. Jessie has to be the dumbest crook out there. How long does it take to get out of town?
3. Why pay a guy $250K to drive you to Alaska?
4. Are you serious this guy is not gonna let Jessie slide for the missing $1800 when he just handed him a sack full of cash?
5. Why does it take $125K to drive someone and get a passport? Mexicans pay less than $10K to their coyotes.
6. Why go take on 5 guys in a shootout when he had the upperhand on 2 earlier?
7. An old fashioned high noon shootout? Really?

Movie sucked.

I'm pretty sure that guy gives you an entirely brand new identity so I see why that costs so much.


But it also creates the plot hole of if he has a brand new identity, why does he need to be smuggled in a secret compartment in a moving truck?

And the shootout scene nearly was one of the stupidest movie scenes I've seen the last few years.

The perfect ending:

Jesse: Yo, man, like why the F did you make me ride in a UHaul?

Robert: Because you're a bitch, bitch.

/quick cut to credits. chorus of that old Ben Folds song plays quietly.

"Give me my money back
Give me my money back
You... bitch"

It was fine. It was just a longer finale. Jesse is by far the most likeable character because he really isn't a bad guy. Bueller is right, Jesse is a good person that went down the wrong path and Walt is a bad person who went down the right path.

Although it could be interesting in 5 or 10 yeara to make a spinoff of Jesse and his new life in Alaska whenever he inevitably gets into another mess.

Man. That was a waste of time.

2 hours to do EXACTLY what we all assumed he'd do anyway. And Todd was just distracting. It was just a 2 hour collection of callbacks that didn't add to the story in any way.

Just disappointing as hell.
