I am a fan of the first Trainspotting, so, just to not put myself down, I tried to not expect much, after all, 20 years ahead of the first movie, and a second part ... I didn't know what to expect.
First time I watched Trainspotting, I was around 18 years old, now I am 34 years old, and I can relate even deeper with the characters. A bunch of grown up losers, just trying to have a life. When I was watching this movie, I had the same feeling as when I read Bukowski, a feeling of my-life-is-f#$@%d-up-but-at-least-I-am-not-the-only- one.
The feeling of nostalgia is there, but the movie is not based in nostalgia, it can even be seen as a stand alone movie, without watching the first one. Yes, there are some flashbacks, and some moments that get connected, if not repeated, to the first Trainspotting, but, this is what is expected of a second part, specially a cult movie that many of us grow up with.
The acting, the OST, the plot, everything is perfect. And the characters are the same as the first movie, but grown ups ...
... This is Trainspotting, 20 years after, including the "choose life" talk. Just that, and as-perfect-as-that ...

Can you imagine living your whole life with a voice in your head talking to you 24/7 ? Can you imagine how it must feel to not have a single minute of silence in your whole life ? This is what this movie is about.
The characters are well written, you can feel some kind of empathy with everyone of them. The direction and the timing are not bad, and the photography, even that is not an ambitious one, is good, standard one with no risking frames.
All in all a very entertaining movie, with some open plots, in less than 1 hour and half.
