A good honest sequel. Was never going to be as hard hitting as the original but thats not what this one was about. its about what happened next.... and thats what you get. add in some humour and loss. its all good. watch it. You'll Love it. just watch the original first to get to know the characters

Iconic and a must watch (see T1 first though).

The soundtrack does not disappoint either. Beautiful syths from Born Slippy, Underworld.

Wanted to turn it off after 20 minutes and wish I had as it gets no better. Trainspotting was brilliant beyond words and this is the complete opposite. There is no storyline worth talking about and it uses the filler technique of cutting to footage from the first film to fill that void. They should have buried the script!

The original was funny, intelligent and never boring but the new one has none of that. The soundtrack is poor but the acting is worse and all this film serves is to make them look like has beens - Bigtime pity. Save your money and your time as there is a reason this move was reduced so quickly Liksay.

A rehash for cash. Bit like the plot! A bunch of old Scottish blokes (actors from middle class families in reality) shooting up and fighting each other, starting brothels and generally ****ing about to no real dramatic effect. Without a decent story the result is just nastiness on screen. Awful. But hey, if you like that kind of thing knock youeself out! I turned it off half way through before beginning to write this. Sorry, but for what it’s worth don’t waste your money, or rather, inflate their bank accounts. Depressing!

This is not so much a sequel but more of a mark of respect to a film that galvanized a generation. I watched the original in Glasgow as a rebellious teenager and have just watched T2 as a 40yr old living in comfortable East Sussex, we can’t go back to the 90s but we can remember how socially defining some of it was.

I was a little dubious that it would just be a homage to T1, but it's the best film I've seen this year. Tense, exciting anf hilarious

Brilliant from the whole team.

This film imagines what the characters would be like now if they were real people.

Very disappointed.. average film ... rather watch captain USA .. lol

In my opinion trainspotting is one of the best films ever made. It was hard hitting, well written, and well delivered. Unfortunatley, the sequel is nothing but a patchwork of scenes that dont really support each other with a very poor storyline.

Very, very disapointing!

20 years on and the same cast. Its what it should be. Absolulty the best film sequal ever. Well thought out and scrpted to perfection.... Spud is a legend.....if you dont like this film you have a problem and maybe rather dull in your own life....

Not getting all the rave reviews. A barely adequate sequel, made so only by the interest of knowing what happens to the principals over 20 years. Sadly, the answer is not much. Worst of al,l I found myself not particularly liking or caring about the characters, which was not the case in T1. They seem less funny, less complex, less interesting than before. A missed opportunity.

When you start watching it, you realise pretty soon that the power of trainsporting was in the spirit of the 90's. And that is all. Discovering how they lived afterwards is not interesting at all.

Slow, predictable and actually quite disappointing.

Trying to coin in from the first movie, awful movie...

Ah see yer da's made a sequel about him an his mates when they did that holiday weekender, put it in iMovie an all proper blinding, don't tell yer ma he snorted a line to show yer cousin Baza he's still cool (nee bosh he threw it up in the bog when he got back to his room cos he was doing a whitey)

A fantastic and worthy sequel to the original Trainspotting. Realistic without being as harrowing as the original, the best film I've seen this year.

I rented this full of excitement. When it first came out I wanted to go and see it but never got the chance so decided to watch it tonight. Wish I hadn't. Tired regurgitations without any of the punch of the original. Themes repeated lazily, actors looking like they were tired of the roles and such a boring script. Just don't bother if you loved the original.

WoW... The original cast absolutely smashed it again!

Watched Trainspotting again prior to T2 & would advise anyone the same...

20-years eh! Time flies!

Choose Life!

Choose to download T2 & enjoy!

All this wait and the difficulty getting everyone together for it and he trots out this rubbish. Predictable flashbacks and no story to surround them . Saw it in the cinema and it is an insult to the original which was the best film on its time . Next please

If people are expected a retread of the T1 they will be disappointed. This is a reflective sentimental sequel. The main characters are 20 years older, and so is Edinburgh.

What you have is 4 characters who have done despicable things in their life and they carry the baggage of that in different ways.

The real addiction is how bad these characters are for each other. It's a wasted life.

T1 was fully about the present, with ample drugs to dull ain't semblance of guilt they should have. It was about the moment, be it through their antics or even the britpop soundtrack.

T2 is about running from regrets. Trying to find some sort of redemption in the end.

I like that it's not a retread, there is still a lot of comedy here and Begbie is as usual a force of nature, but it's melancholy and takes more time to digest.

This is a really great sequel, both nostalgic and fresh. Great to see the characters stories and interactions after 20 years, I absolutely loved it!

Very average. Was looking forward to this.

A sequel that does its predecessor justice. A must watch.

This in comparison to the original may not be as dark but shows different dimensions to the characters we love. All facing inner conflicts whilst still remaining true to their personalities set out in T1. A little slower to start but it will eventually have you hooked in anticipation of the main encounter between the four stars.

20 odd years ago I was blown away by the raw brilliance of T1. In anticipation of seeing T2, I watched T1 the night before. After the long wait, and with some trepidation, I went to see T2 in the Filmhouse in Edinburgh (where it's shot, of course) a couple of days after it premiered. Wow! Absolutely brilliantly done. The changes in the characters and the back story over the intervening years is superbly portrayed. Spud, played by Ewen Bremner, steals the show this time. The soundtrack is (almost) as good as the original. Do yourself a favour and watch both......

Disappointed and thought it would be better than it was. Shame and waste if £13.99 😡

Extremely poor.

This is a great sequel to the original. So much could have gone wrong in the making, but it didn't. A good and believable storyline about characters we've waited twenty years to see how they got on. Fine acting by all the main players, who slotted back into the roles like they'd never been away. Not as harsh and uncompromising as the original, because back then we'd not seen anything like that before on screen, and perhaps we're now used to seeing it, but it's still good.
