I'm kinda stunned to the lukewarm response in this thread. I thought it was pretty damn near perfect. The flashbacks were incredibly poignant, and never felt like just fan service. Particularly the shots with Mike and Walt. In both scenes you really got the root of these characters' relationships, but it really was all about Jesse. In both cases, you could see the father/mentor bond that Walt just could never achieve, and which Mike did (again, made all the more impactful with Mike's backstory with his son). In the end Jesse was guided by Jane's words. Excellent callbacks.

Interestingly, the only preview I saw was with Skinny Pete in the interrogation room, and that wasn't even in the film.

Jesse Plemons really just kills as the evil psychopath completely oblivious to being an evil psychopath.

I purposely didn't go in with any grand expectations, but it was so much better and satisfying than I could have imagined. Damn does Vince Gilligan know how to tell a story.
