Great Film overall

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

This movie is boRING (pun intended) and cheesy. The acting is okay and the story felt broken. The pacing is pathetic like try to be a slow burner again but fail. I did watch the Unrated Version and it still suck with camera zooming in face. I like some ideas they use but it doesn't save the film and you know what that first film have that this one doesn't? A heart, a heart that makes you want to watch it more. I consider it a guilty pleasure because one some parts that make you want to laugh and it's cheesy. This ia my review on The Ring twO (2005), it could of done better

This film tells how a young journalist, a single mother of a gifted child is affected by the story of Samara and the video tape that kills those who see it in seven days. Directed by Hideo Nakata, the film is the sequel to "The Ring", has a Ehren Kruger script and Naomi Watts in the lead role.We are facing a sequel to one of the most popular thrillers in the recent years. Despite that, this film is far from expectations. I believe that the change of director (Nakata is the producer of Japanese film in which "The Ring" was initially inspired) has been a key factor for this failure. The film does not bring almost anything new, except to give Samara a more fierce and cruel aspect of what was in the original, with its huge hair remember me "The Grudge". But the truth is that the film intrigues more than scares, leaves the audience more curious than uncomfortable.The actors were at a good level. Naomi Watts is an experienced actress and was perfectly capable of handling her role. David Dorfman continues to do a great job as Aidan, and how the young man handed the role is a lesson for many child actors aspiring to a career in the seventh art. Visually appealing, the film has a deliberately dark picture, away from light and warm colors. The sun rarely appears, the fog and rain are almost a constant. Everything contributes to thicken the atmosphere. The soundtrack, created by Hans Zimmer, contributes decisively to the public's rare moments of discomfort. The problem of the film is, decidedly, the script and the absence of a director who understands the aspirations of a public hungry for emotions. The film does not have emotions, never heats or cools. Worse, there are certain elements of the story that almost collide against the original film, cutting its logical connection, necessary for the understanding of the story.

The Ring was a novel concept, with surprisingly more depth than many horrors or thrillers, which at the time(IMHO) only sought to provide gore and scare with little thought. The Ring 2 however, as corroborated by WindDancer 1971, provides a continual energy and uneasy theme which leaves you feeling rarely "safe". (I thought the original similar to Jaws, which was edgy on/around water but gave a rest when clearly away).Not only this, but the style and back story are 100% improved (on an already good movie) to provide more depth and context.I really don't like or generally enjoy horrors/scary movies, but this was just a great movie, that happened to have these thrilling/chilling elements in its core.Strange because I've generally found IMDb scores to appreciate the more thoughtful movies, and to reflect such themes as I've seen them. I thought Cloverfield deserved a better score but this really was a surprise.

This is a great movie. (Part 1 & 2) I'm so glad I finally got to see part two. I wouldn't say that part two is outstanding, but I also wouldn't say it's terrible. But then again, I don't feel quite neutral about it. I actually love part two. I almost think that part one is a little bit better, but I also like this one because it has more drama/scares/mystery. So basically, I like part 1 and part 2 the same way. The Ring is just one of those movies where when you watch the first part, you can't stay away from the second part! I feel sympathetic for Samara and I love Naomi Watts in this... It's sad that Noah had to die in the first part. I loved him in that. That was pretty sad, plus he didn't deserve to die.
