The thing I don't love about the "reboot" types of movies and tv shows that we've been seeing lately is that you can only really "end" a series once. Harry Potter, for example... that had 7 great books and a perfect ending... and it isn't like I disliked the 8th play "The Cursed Child" but... in my opinion it added to much to the end of the original books and I didn't really like that. I was worried that something might happen to Jesse that would change the original ending of Breaking Bad- which I thought wrapped everything up perfectly.
And Breaking Bad is probably my favorite TV Show other than the comedies that I watch all of the time. I really liked that they didn't kill Jesse Pinkman in the end of the series. In the Emmy's that year they even had a joke that Jesse Pinkman lived but the mother from How I Met Your Mother died. I was worried about Jesse as soon as I saw the trailer.
So all of that being said though... this was the perfect way of adding to the story without really taking away from the original series. We did get to see how Jesse would handle situations differently than Walt- at least by the end of Walt's life. Walt was more the type to kill someone first, whereas Jesse will really only kill someone if he has to. The villains in this movie kind of take advantage of that fact... but Jesse kind of learns to be a little bit more aggressive and he is quicker than the villains of the show... so he kind of changes and becomes more of a leader than a supporting character at the end of this.
I loved how suspenseful the movie was also. It wasn't quite as suspenseful as the original series... but there were a lot of moments where I was worried and not sure what would happen next.
There were some scenes that were kind of fan service moments... We got to see Walt, Mike, Jane, and Todd... plus The Cleaner played by the late Robert Forster- who I believe passed away the day this movie was released... I always really liked his character and was happy to see that. We also get confirmation that everyone died, Walt definitely died.... All the bad guys died obviously and we even get confirmation that Lydia, who was poisoned was in the hospital and not expected to survive.
So I've heard some mixed reviews about this movie... but I really enjoyed it and I didn't know I needed the series to be wrapped up more than it had been... but I really did like it and definitely recommend checking it out if you liked the original series.
Bye!
