A perfect sequel
|Posted .20 years after Trainspotting took the cinema world by storm and introduced us to skinny jeans and nouveau heroin chic, T2 takes us back to Scotland to visit with the characters 2 decades later, featuring the original director, writer, and cast. This is not a typical sequel, it doesn't rehash the previous film nor does it strive to replicate the high energy experience of the original - it's a true sequel that takes into regard that 20 years have actually passed and much has changed. While the characters are familiar, we join them on a new story arc and examine their lives as some remain mired in the consequences of the past. In a way this film stands on its own, as it doesn't necessarily lean on the original and strives to provide something original. But it's not just a 20 year journey with these characters, its important to note that the film is also an expression of Danny Boyle's journey as a filmmaker. Trainspotting was his breakthrough and in the next 20 years he's had an entire career unfold, and T2 does not ignore that. It doesn't pretend that Boyle is still a young artist in the 90's; T2 is clearly the work of a veteran who has created pieces within many different genres and now brings his original vision back, full circle. In this respect, T2 is quite remarkable. It's not a cash-grab sequel, it's not a comforting re-visit, it's an actual new chapter in the lives of the characters. But while T2 differs from Trainspotting in this regards, it will not disappoint fans as there are several moments/scenes that genuinely rank up there with the best parts of the first one - what we could call "classic Danny Boyle moments". It was sad to see this film come and go in the US with little to no fanfare. Seems like audiences were "meh".... despite the gonzo popularity of the original movie. This is a very underrated sequel and worthy entry in Boyle's filmography. Fans will not be disappointed, just don't expect a nostalgic trip back to the mid-90's. Cinema buffs won't be disappointed either as Danny Boyle gives us a well-acted and finely stylized tale of reckless youth now ageing itself right out of life.

A good take on middle age.
|Posted .I am a huge fan of the original Trainspotting. I saw it when I was in college and was completely mesmerized to the point that I bought the book. I continued reading all of Irvine Welsh's books, and it was always amusing when these characters would pop up in different stories. I was stunned when, after 20 years, I read that the gang was getting back together for a sequel, so I wondered if the movie would follow some of the character paths that were set out in the books. It was nice to see that some of the elements of "P0rno" were retained. Ultimately, though, it was kind of a touching experience to see how these characters have aged and how they've grown (or not grown, as it may be for some of them,) into middle age, as I am roughly the same age as these characters. In a way, it felt a little like the maturing process that I found in Clerks and Clerks II. I think if you liked the first Trainspotting, you will enjoy this one as well, although it is a different experience from that film. This is just a great, natural progression of characters, and really, life.

As with most sequels its not as good as the first
|Posted .I would recommend this to a friendDont let my summary put you off though. Its still a good film and well worth watching if you loved the first one. Its a great follow up and good to see how the lives of these guys had changed or not changed over the last 20 years. Gritty, humorous, and a sense of closeness is what you get from this. I wouldnt recommend if you have not watched the first TS as you will be totally lost as the character development is all in that first movie. But as a lover of the first i loved the second just not quite as much

TRAINSPOTTING continues!
|Posted .Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This is a really quirky movie! ITs a great continuation from the original and has a great cast! Ewan McGregor and Jonny lee Miller have pulled off a fine performance that's riveting and very entertaining. it is rated R and is not for younger audiences due to violence and bad language, not to mention LOTS of graphic nudity. THis is an adult movie - not for the kids!

excellent sequel
|Posted .I would recommend this to a friendi loved the story in this one, specially since it took place 20 years after the first film. the characters and the rhythm of the movie are not as vibrant and playful as they were twenty years ago, but that's part of the sub plot...these folks are now older. the 4k rendering is slightly-ish better than the regular blu ray. the sound in either version is terrific. the supplements are too small, considering the legacy the films have manage to built, but they are okay in a way. if you loved the first one, you will appreciate many scenes and moments in this new chapter.

Not as great as the original, but still good!
|Posted .Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.Trainspotting is a guilty pleasure. This sequel is more subdued but still a lot of fun. I really enjoyed getting to see what these characters were up to so many years later. And it didn't disappoint!

I’ve been waiting for a long time for this one...
|Posted .I would recommend this to a friendFinally got to see what the boys have been up to since the first flick and the movie did not disappoint. The film comes back with another strong soundtrack along with the original cast. You know a movie pulls you in when it’s over and you’re reliving certain scenes and downloading the soundtrack right away,

Unexpectedly great!
|Posted .I would recommend this to a friendIf you were a fan of the original, you will eat this up. I thought it was quite odd to do a sequal 20 years later and not necessary. I was wrong. This was well written, filmed, and acted. I love the ensemble yet again and they hit you right in the feels like the first time. Audio and video are solid, but not remarkable. I really enjoyed this!
