The “Breaking Bad” series finale was deemed by fans and critics alike the perfect way to wrap up 5 seasons of TV perfection. If you ask director Oliver Stone, the last episode, “Felina,” was far from perfect.

In fact, it was actually ridiculous and too violent, Stone believes, as reported by Slash Film.

However, Stone, famous for his ultra-violent movies, isn’t reacting to the fact that there was violence on screen but rather to that it was portrayed completely unrealistically.

“I saw the most ridiculous 15 minutes of a movie – it would be laughed off the screen. […] It’s only in the movies that you find this kind of fantasy violence,” he says.

“And that’s infected the American culture; you young people believe all of this [stuff]! Batman and Superman, you’ve lost your minds, and you don ‘t even know it! At least respect violence. I’m not saying don’t show violence, but show it with authenticity,” Stone continues.

He adds that the level of violence and the way it was portrayed are the only things he’d object to about “Felina.” Still, in his eyes, they negate the “perfect” label pinned to it.
