I saw an article that said this movie came out exactly two years ago, so I decided it would be a good time to review it. Breaking Bad is my favorite show ever. Nothing else comes close, not even Better Call Saul. I doubted this movie when it was announced because I felt like Breaking Bad had the perfect ending. It tied up almost every loose end, that is except for the fate of Jesse. I personally liked how they left that story up to the imagination of the viewer. I gave this movie a chance because I fully trust Vince Gillian. Just because no one was asking for this movie doesn’t mean he’s going to make a bad movie. Overall, the movie just met expectations. First, I didn’t like the focus on Todd. He’s a very boring character to me and the actor annoys me. Whenever I see him in other good movies and shows like The Master or Black Mirror, I’m just like ugh not Todd again. I would have liked to see more of Badger and Skinny Pete instead. Also, I knew they were going to try to resurrect Walt somehow which I thought would ruin the movie for me. However they did it in an acceptable way I guess, in the form of a flashback. I also hate when characters have a chance to kill someone but don’t do it just because… they’re scared? or guilty? If someone is keeping you prisoner and torturing you I think most people would kill or at least injure them and escape at any chance they get. It’s just so unrealistic and ruins the mood of the movie for me. My last issue with this movie is that many of the actors barely looked like they did at the end of Breaking Bad. I know this is something out of the control of anyone, but it was definitely in the back of my mind throughout the movie. Overall this movie was telling a story that didn’t need to be told, and it did an okay job.
