Hi!
I'd like to know how many of you have already seen Trainspotting 2 and whatwould you say it's the best and worst thing about it?
In my country it'll start playing on 2nd March.
For the rest, how many of you are excited to see it?

It premiered in my country, I saw it.
I liked, didn't love it like I hoped I would. I liked the nostalgia part of it and all the returning actors. I don't have many things I don't like about it, it just cannot compete with the original

I missed my chance to see it last month. But I heard it was really good. Not as good as the original but still a good sequel. Still need to see it for myself though.

Nerdist released their review today. They gave it a 3 1/2 out of 5 burritos.

B+ less stylish & more grounded than Trainspotting.
A+ for the first, it's my #49 all time.
SPOILERS
really? no tags available here??
+
- Very nice ode to the first & the characters proper. Nothing felt contrived from how they might be faring these days. The background music seemed to reflect that, nodding to the 96's track listing rather than be fully original as well.
- Kelly MacDonald. Her appearance added to the film's gravitas for me & showed just how far Mark & co. had veered, + how far they still had to go.
- Ewan's 'Choose Life' monologue was quite strong, sat me up.
-
- I might've had Begbie's intro been built up even more, though to be fair he did receive closure with his own family this way with its mini arc. As it was, his encounter with Mark at the club was most epic. Ppl talk about rivalries in film, this one is nearly entirely emotionally driven & turbocharged.
- Ending seemed to mirror just a bit too much of the first. Not sure another 20yrs we'll get to see another, though nothing at all would surprise me.

SPOILERS again...
T2 seems more of an epilogue than a sequel perhaps, in that it's a product of the characters' lifestyles in the first. Of course we'd hoped for more interesting lifestyles from Mark, Simon & Daniel, yet to jump 20yrs from drug squalor to living the dream would probably seem too much a reach.
Instead of being a chapter 2 of crazed fun & pain, T2 plays more like seeing the boys worn down from that era's vices they chose. I'm okay with that angle, it should bounce from reality rather than not.
I think I'll buy the film on disc, & the soundtrack, yet I don't feel it required viewing/listening beyond at least the first time. Maybe I won't buy the film on disc, I dunno, maybe it ought to be experienced just the once, you can't go home again.

I am happy it was pretty solid as well.
