Pros: The 'well' effects and the bathroom effects...
Cons: Just about everything but the special effects...
Summary: I say without hesitation that the very best parts (and there were a couple of them) of this sequel were the special effects. I know it’s an odd thing to state at the very beginning of a review but it pretty much sums up my lack of enthusiasm for this ... read more

Pros: Good acting, score, much of the direction, some atmosphere and imagery.
Cons: Chaotic script that diverges far too much from "The Ring."
Summary: I came late to the "Ring" films, seeing them only on DVD. At first, the premise--a cursed videotape that causes the death of the viewer after a week--seemed very silly; but the material was handled so well in both the original Japanese "Ringu" and the US ... read more

Pros: Looking at Samara reminds me of the first Ring, and those memories still scare me.
Cons: What the hell was this movie's point? It don't explain nothin' and don't scare nothin'.
Summary: The one thing The Ring Two did successfully is allow me to get nostalgic about The Ring. The Ring was, in retrospect, the only good pure horror film of my generation. It played on contemporary concerns (technology), combined them ... read more

Pros: Improved acting, Increased suspense, Explains plot holes of last movie decently enough
Cons: Shoddy CGI Effects, the almost non-existence of Samara in live person, Overrated Unrated version
Summary: When a sequel in todays hollywood age equals or surpasses it's predeccesor by storyline and title, it's usually a shock. So, naturally after the credits began to roll on this, the sequel to The Ring, and I enjoyed it more then its predecessor I ... read more

Pros: tone, general creepiness, no blood and guts
Cons: not as good as the original
Summary: The Ring Two, directed by Hideo Nakata is never going to win the Oscar for Best Picture or Best Director. Nor will you remember it as one of the scariest horror movies you’ve seen. But, it does have some good jump out of your skin moments, and it ... read more

Pros: none
Cons: supporting acting, very weak plot, failure to take advantage of first film
Summary: When The Ring came out in 2002, it was a sure bet that it would have a sequel based only on the success that the first film had enjoyed. Making close to $250 million world-wide, to call it profitable would have been a gross understatement. The film ... read more

Pros: Excellent effects, cast, Samara's past is revealed nicely.
Cons: Plot is unlike the original, feels like a drama movie, the unrated is so overrated.

Pros: Some special effects, the well scene.
Cons: Very plentiful.
Summary: I think that most of the major problems in this movie can be summed up in one sentence, and that is that this should not have been marketed as a horror movie because there is little scary about it. The story, if you work it around in your head until ... read more

Pros: Some scares, a new mystery to ponder
Cons: Awful special effects, didn't live up to the original
Summary: "The Ring" was the surprise hit of 2002, easily being termed the scariest movie of the year. Despite its farfetched content, the eeriness of the characters, and novelity of the storyline allowed viewers to be spooked. Now, three years later, producers of ... read more

Pros: Has more jumps and scares than the original
Cons: Takes the plot into another direction, wasted characters
Summary: Like most horror movie sequels, The Ring Two isn't as good as the first. I wanted to go ahead and throw that out there for those review skimmers who wanted to know. When I told my co-workers that I saw this movie last night, the first thing they asked ... read more

Pros: Naomi Watts, David Dorfman, Sissy Spacek, Samara climbing the well, Rachel's closing line.
Cons: Lighting is far less creepy than the last one, script isn't as solid.
Summary: I only think it's fair to start by saying that I adored The Ring. I've seen it around ten times and it never fails to scare me each and every time I watch it. For me, The Ring Two had a lot to live up to. I wanted answers to the questions brought up ... read more

Pros: Creepiness factor, story, atmospheric tone
Cons: Special effects look like special effects
Summary: I must be in the minority of people who liked The Ring Two, but given that this is a review of the FIRST time I've seen it, we'll see what I thought of the movie when I view it for a second time. Now, to clear things up, The Ring Two is a movie that ... read more

Pros: The last thirty minutes.

Pros: Naomi Watts, decent effects, Samara crawling up the well wall
Cons: bad script, attempt to mimic original scenes, boring, over all a pretty bad movie.
Summary: Despite the reviews, I enjoyed the first Ring movie, and was a little excited about the sequel. Knowing that sequels usually all follow the same path with a few exceptions, I went opening weekend and watched this anyway. The Ring Two has a slow, expected ... read more

Pros: Ummm...can't think of any at the present time. Oh! My date paid!
Cons: Everything.
Summary: Ok...first of all I have to say that I have seen MANY MANY MANY horror/ thrillers in my time. There are movies I’ve gone to that I EXPECTED not to be the BEST movies or give me any real scares BUT I enjoyed them none-the-less. Then there are movies ... read more

Pros: Some really good effects.
Cons: Too much unlike it's creative original.
Summary: Well, I was not bored in the theater but after reading many reviews on here and other places I'm starting to agree that the sequel to The Ring wasn't all that. The Bath tub scene was sweet though, but it doesn't make a whole movie. So we find out ... read more

Pros: Continues the orginal story...
Cons: Fails to be scary, innovative, or entertaining...
