Ranking January 2017's Movies From Worst To Best

10. T2 Trainspotting

Split XXx 3 La La Land
TriStar Pictures

RottenTomatoes Score: 76% (6.7/10)

Box Office: Danny Boyle's long-awaited $18 million sequel made an impressive £5.1 million ($6.4 million) in its opening UK weekend, and with the film still yet to roll out in most of the world, it shouldn't have a problem being a solid success.

Verdict: It may not quite live up to the brilliance of the 1996 original, but T2 is a worthy sequel that warns against the dangers of nostalgia while moving its four protagonists on in compelling and often hilarious ways.

It stays true to its characters, marks the passage of time and avoids most of the pitfalls of belated sequels, even if the script isn't anywhere near as water-tight as the first time around.
