It's not the first movie, expecting it to be "as good as the first" will disappont you, however, this film is great in its own right and it's a great sequel to a great movie.

a true love story to the first film 😍😍

The movie is at its best when it flirts with becoming a meta-sequel — a film whose characters know they’ve been in a movie called “Trainspotting.”

T2 Trainspotting wears out its welcome slowly, like a group of old men running out of stories to tell in an afternoon pub.

Wiser, sadder but very much alive and kicking, T2 is a film that knows you can’t compete with the ghosts of the past. But at least you can dance with them.
