T2: Trainspotting's reviews
Media reviews
The Guardian
"Danny Boyle's T2 Trainspotting is everything I could reasonably have hoped for -scary, funny, desperately sad, with many a bold visual flourish."
Time Out
"Like the original, 'T2 Trainspotting' is a winning mix of low living and high jinx, a stylized spin on real life."
The Wrap
"'T2 Trainspotting isn't a bad film at all. In places, it's terrific, but it too often drags in a pool of its own despondency, a miserable and melancholy movie that almost looks a bit embarrassed to be so."
Empire
"In some senses 'T2' shares elements with its Terminator namesake. It's inventive and full of surprises. But unlike Cameron's sequel, it doesn't reimagine the original in quite the same glorious way."
The Telegraph
"Like the original, T2 is happy enough spending time with its characters whatever they get up to. Very little that happens in the film seems to affect where it's going, and the few things that do feel dashed off, almost as an afterthought."
The Hollywood Reporter
"A missed opportunity on multiple levels, T2 is stylistically an overwrought rehash which relies heavily on over-caffeinated camerawork and flashy effects to distract us from its essential paucity of raison d'etre."
