Not necessary, but I absolutely can't wait

Being a huge fan of Breaking Bad as well as a fan of Better Call Saul, this is a must for me. Especially with Vince Gilligan returning, being able to dive into this world again is something I can't help get excited for.

I'm definitely glad I'll get to see Aaron Paul again as well. I know he's been in other things, but I feel the material he's had to work with hasn't helped bring out his range as much as Breaking Bad has.

I just hope the movie goes easy on Jesse. He's already been through so much. He's such a broken human being. Not only that, but before he got captured by the neo-nazis he was working with Hank for the DEA. That's gotta count for something right?

I agree..I want things to be hopeful for Jesse.
I always saw the journey of Walt and Jesse as two people moving in opposite directions...with Jesse discovering he was capable of being a better man and Walt discovering he was capable of doing whatever it took for the power he had long hungered for.
I don't think either Bryan Cranston or Aaron Paul will ever find any roles that would fit them better.

I think that's what was so good about it. Made ever more apparent by Jesse wanting to get out multiple times, but Walt manipulating him to get back in.

I didn't hate Jesse in the beginning, but I didn't like him much and the deeper they went into his character and how much he developed, I ended up loving him and really feeling for him. I feel almost the complete opposite about Walt. I liked him in the beginning, and although he started to redeem himself at the very end, for a large portion of the last couple seasons I hated him.

I was pretty much the same way as you..We're on the same page...
Hopefully you'll come back here to discuss the movie after it airs. It would be nice to compare our impressions..

Definitely. I'll bookmark it.

Personally I absolutely loved it. I wasn't expecting Jesse to get a happy ending, but I'm glad he did because out of all the characters he deserves it the most.

I feel like it was a great epilogue for the series and a must watch if you're a fan of Breaking Bad.

Meh. Agree with the overall sentiment but Cranston is such a dynamic actor that roles that fit him can be found with ease. Paul is a much more limited actor and this series will certainly define his career.
