Leave your thoughts about T2 Trainspotting.
| EspinofMikel Zorrilla'T2: Trainspotting' is a sequel that is worth it despite being below the first film. [Full review in Spanish] |
| Seattle TimesSoren AndersonWith a pulsing soundtrack and an ending scene that cleverly ties the whole thing back to the first picture, T2 is a sequel that is at least the equal of the revered original. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperT2 Trainspotting has one foot firmly planted in nostalgia and the other rooted in the present, and thanks in great part to Boyle’s unique, world-class talent, everything old feels new again, and everything new has the blazing look of an original and blazing piece of art. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleNo, T2 is not a great film, but its pleasures are great — and so rare and accomplished that they raise T2 to a level approximating greatness. There is something to be said for a movie this enjoyable. T2 is great enough. |
| Independent (UK)Geoffrey MacnabWhat's so impressive about T2 is how skilfully it manages to stay true to the spirit of the original while acknowledging just how much has changed in the intervening years. |
| Tampa Bay TimesSteve PersallLike its predecessor T2 Trainspotting aggressively shocks and charms, a singular example of cinematic bravura now improbably duplicated. |
| The Seattle TimesSoren AndersenT2 is a sequel that is at least the equal of the revered original. |
| Concrete PlaygroundSarah WardUltimately, the battle between the engaging and the all-too-easy is what you'll find coursing through T2: Trainspotting's veins. |
| Rescu (Australia)Keeva StrattonThe music, the energy, the reality and the poignancy make this cult classic as relevant today as it was when it captured the disaffected Scottish youth over 20 years ago. |
| Buffalo NewsJeff SimonIn a time of year we don't ordinarily great films, this one comes very, very close. |
