Hey did anyone else think the American remake of the Ring2 was a bit rubbish?I liked the first one but this was one was just silly.

[le weez]

it was ok, I didn't think it was any worse than the first one it wasn't too predictable

The stags were kinda scary, but didn't get the whole stag thing, maybe I missed something?

american version are totally crap, some of it is very predictable, quite boring, they try to go for a "scream" frightning technique, japans version is way better reason why, its a whole lot more disturbing, causing you to feel alot more scared once the film is finished

yes cuz the ending of the Japanese one is SOO much better! WTF? Swimming Pool and dream machines?

I just thought the pacing was well off in this film, It jus seemed to meander on for ages, nothing worthwhile happening for at least the first forty-five minutes. The whole film seemed to trivialise the first one, and i dont think it was half as scary as the first film.. Oh and the Stags looked so cartoony at some points that they looked like they were made from rubber.

well i was shit scared! especially at the end when samara is crawling up the well. wat a freak! i saw the japanese ring 2 and i didnt think it was as scary- but that maybe cos i closed my eyes at all the scary bits cos i was watching it by myself

[lindeh]

i saw the ring 2 last night- it was ok but i agree with whoever said it was slow-paced to begin with. possibly the best bit was when samara was racing up the well- totally freaky! then rachel closed up the well shouting 'I'M NOT YOUR FUCKING MOTHER!!'...best one-liner ever! can't believe that was the only swear word throughout the film! hehe!

Though even that bit with the well, the scariest part of the entire film in my opinion. Seemed silly in retrospect, why did Samara wait till Rachal was half way up the well before chasing her and how did Rachal get up the well so easily considering Samara cudnt get up it in seven days when she was stuck down there? It just seemed to me, lazy writing.

she got dooshed over the head and fell down unconcious. Uh, lets just say she was in a coma for a few days. Anyways, in the Jap version, you can see her fingers nails embedded into the wall of the well, obviously it was a struggle to get out of there.

That bit in the movie didn't have quite the same scare factor as Ringu 2. When Mai Takano climbs up the well and all of a sudden Sadako grabs her arm and you see her slimy face all close up. yikes! >_<

And whatever happened to the people in The Ring having special powers? Yoichi's mum and dad (and his girlfriend thing) all had this 3rd eye so to speak. Mai could see into the next world or whatever. Nothing like that in the American one.
