Aidan is one of the weirdest, least likable, and most irritating horror kids that ever graced the silver screen.

There’s very little fun to go around, and scarcely any suspense or terror.

| Original Score: C- | Sep 19, 2022

While I found the original to be smart and a lot of fun, The Ring Two is just stupid and silly.

| Original Score: D | Nov 18, 2019

The Ring Two works because [director Hideo] Nakata concentrates on what he knows best without trying to adapt his style to fit Hollywood. For once a U.S. remake of a classic Asian horror film proves itself to be a furtive work of fusion.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 24, 2019

There never should have been an addition to the original. The sequel makes a valiant effort at scary storytelling, but it suffers by comparison.

| Original Score: B | Mar 23, 2019

On it goes, albeit in a somewhat trance-like state.

| Original Score: C | Feb 18, 2012

The Ring Two has a great deal of mood and there are some genuinely chilling moments, but weak characters sap it of all strength.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Apr 25, 2011

Scarier than the first, but not as interesting.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 29, 2010

Feels incomplete and is immensely sloppy, without a lick of sense.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 29, 2009

"The Ring Two" is a horror movie with very few surprises and hit-or-miss moments of suspense that don't lead anywhere on a narrative or emotional level.

| Original Score: C- | Apr 19, 2009

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 7, 2008

Unfortunately, the screenplay by Ehren Kruger is littered with plot holes that reduce the story to a generic thriller formula.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Oct 3, 2006

Fracassa ao abandonar o interessante conceito da fita amaldiçoada para se concentrar numa trama boba envolvendo possessão. Ainda assim, é melhor que Ringu 2 - o que não é uma grande proeza.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 3, 2006

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 1, 2006

[It] inevitably lacks the unsettling mystery and the evolving unease of the first one. While there are still startling moments, there are no surprises.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Feb 7, 2006

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 5, 2005

The 'terror' remains that only in theory as, for all its isolated amusements, [the film] never truly scares.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 5, 2005

Do yourself a favor and don't tarnish the original "Ring" by seeing this sequel.
