Like the excellent original, this worthy sequel is similarly distinguished by some memorable set-pieces, superb dialogue, and smashing performances.

This film turns into one of the most disgusting movies. I can tolerate the disgust, but the whole thing seems nonsensical and absurd. I wouldn't want to see this even if to kill time.

My partner and I did not like this film. We stuck with this story of drugs and thievery with old Scottish friends up to about the 50 minute mark, but then had enough and was skipping ahead until the end. The story took awhile to pull the…

testosterone out of control - vulgar and pointless

Almost as good as the first, and that's saying something. I wouldn't describe it as being about nostalgia as much as about the regret, frustration and re-ordering of priorities that comes with late life. Perhaps you need to be of a certain…

The first film was original, innovative, and thought-provoking. But I liked the sequel even better. The performances in T2 from the original cast were terrific. And I ;loved how the director effortlessly moved the story along, It's both…

With the exception of one rather funny scene in a pub, this movie was absolute garbage.

If you were to casually mention you didn't like the original Trainspotting for whatever reason, on my worst days, I would sit you down and gently remind you of all the reason why you are wrong. I have a distinct distaste for sequels,…

As high quality a sequel as one is likely to get for this sort of film. Derivative? Sure. But that was the point.

Loved watching the follow up to this cult classic. Such cool, creative and well done movies. I watched the first one again recently as well so the conclusion was especially poignant and nostalgic.

Since I have not watched the first film I may have been left out on much of details and background to the characters which, unfortunately, I don't care much about. I found the plot fragmented, and hard to follow. So for me this is one…

just recently saw the original which I didn't like. however, this film is very good. rarely is the second film better than the first.

Surprisingly good sequel. BUT, you don't really HAVE TO have seen the original to be able to figure out what's going on, as there are sufficient flashbacks to follow the story. This was much better than we had expected. Well worth a watch.

As much of a classic as the first movie was. My friends all loved it. I didn't care for it but the baby scene always stood out. I actually enjoyed this one. Not one you would watch over and over but definitely entertaining. Also loved how…

As a big fan of the original Trainspotting, I went into this one with more than a bit of trepidation. However, I was delightfully surprised! T2 was Great! Way better than a sequel of this kind has any right to be! This movie isn't for…

A worthy sequel. Some of us change after 20 years, some do not. Like the boys, once we hit middle age, we start asking ourselves some questions. Renton's rant is epic and horribly true.

Good sequel.

Choose life. Choose unnecessary sequels. Choose nostalgia. Choose getting the gang back together. Choose hey it's better than I thought it would be. 1996's "Trainspotting" is one of my favorite movies of the 90s and one of my favorite…

T2 works as well as a sequel made 20 years later could work. It obviously cost more than the original and had more of a coherent plot, but trucked so heavily in the nostalgia and memory of the first one that it wouldn't be a great…

Glad to have revisited T1 recently or likely missed some of the plot's nuances. T2 was an update of those mischievous Edinburgh boys who had made new tracks as 20 years had gone by. Some aged and changed for the better but none seemed to…

Catching up with Renton, Spud, Sick Boy, and Begbie twenty years later was mildly disappointing. The best parts of T2 are rehashes from the extraordinary original.

Sequel perfection! Bonus that, all these years later, you can actually understand what they're saying! Woot! God, I loved this movie.

I went into this expecting it to be a screen adaptation of Irvine Welsh's book, Porno. It barely follows that story, honestly. So, I was slightly disappointed the first time I watched it because as depraved as Porno is, it's a great story.…
