I'm disappointed that it is coming out in March instead of February for the US. This is one of my most anticipated films of 2017.

Can't wait! that scene where he woke up and realised he shat himself still has me cracking up
I didn't know these were/are book based, I imagine this new one is from "porno". What would the first one have been ?
First one is one of my all time favs as well. That dialogue from the narrator carried over to what we heard in the trailer
Kelly Macdonalds tiddies
First time hearing "born slippy"
They're also making a Human Traffic 2 as well

It came out here a couple weeks ago but I wanted to rewatch the original first. It's not as good as the original (of course), but as far as 20 year late sequels go it's still very good. I do think it takes a while before the craziness reaches the OG's levels again, most obviously because all the characters have settled into new (although certainly not better) lives. I also thought they made the classic mistake of doing too many call-backs (nods and winks and all) to the first movie instead of letting it be its own animal. Boyle's direction can still be madly on point, with two second shots in a montage having more inspiration to them than most movies can muster up over the course of a two hour running time, but like the generation the movie depicts, he too has grown up and perhaps outgrown the madness. It's not as provocative and it certainly doesn't capture the zeitgeist like the first one did, but then again this is essentially a drama about people who have no place in the current zeitgeist. In that sense this is the only way the sequel could have ever ended up as.
I really liked it, it's like a loveletter to the people who grew up on Trainspotting.
I wouldn't say it's a GREAT movie on it's own right, but as a "where are they now" for people who loved the OG it's ill. It's nostalgia done well, not just a copyjob (eg force awakens).

I saw it back in January and was sorry i didn't go again. Loved it. Heard there were some cinemas in England playing it with subtitles. That shyt annoys me. If it's such a struggle to understand a language from a few miles up the road then just leave.
Anyway, film was great. So many stand out scenes. I don't think it's fair to compare it to the first brcause it's a completely different film tonally. I watched the most talked about scene set in the loyalist pub in a cinema in rural catholic Ireland with a few Irish. Even they were in tears of laughter!
If you liked the first you will enjoy this too. Soundtrack is banging as well.

Who's watching this weekend?
still gotta peep this
I watched 'Trainspotting' in probably 2002, and really liked it, but I was never a rabid obsessive fanatic. I think the sequel stops shorts of being a really brilliant movie, though it hits those notes in a few scenes. I could have done with less of the antics and "madness" and more of the kind of dark meditation, of the "Choose Life" (Part 2) scene. I thought a handful of scenes and plotlines weren't needed, and clearly came from mixing the novel sequel with another screenplay. Danny Boyle did a really good job, and this is an authentic, moving, funny film. I just wish he went a little deeper and darker, because essentially these characters are all losers of the highest order, and there were so many chances to take that further. I am 31, so I'm not yet 40, 10 years into sobriet (not heroin) and a long way from early 20's, and many of the themes and content are intensely relatable.
