EL Camino (2019)

Saw it yesterday, reviewing it today.

I dug it.
Some people are calling it a boring slog.
I think it fits in fine with a lot of the slower episodes of Breaking Bad.
And there are violent scenes punctuated in there.
You'll get your action fix.
It's just a slow burn.
But so was the whole goddamned show.
What show were you people watching?

It's a worthy epilogue to the show. IMHO.
People were scared it would ruin the perfection of the finale, I think they need not worry, this fits right in. It's the extra last bonus episode we always should have gotten.

I think it's great.
BB fans, embrace, enjoy.

Oh, and know there are misdirects in the trailers.
Things don't happen exactly as you're expecting.

The only real flaw?
It picks up immediately after BB, and flashes back to during, but everyone's noticeably older.
Just know that, and go along with it.
Criminy, the big de-aging movies (Gemini Man, The Irishman) haven't even come out yet, and everyone's spoiled by them. *Eyeroll*

And, RIP Robert Forster (vacuum cleaner man).

So, yeah, watch it.
