Scarier than the first, but not as interesting.

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

And while it all looks and sounds amazing (Gabriel Beristain's chilly cinematography and Hans Zimmer's eerie score are standouts) none of that really matters much if as a viewer all I'm doing is sitting there biding my time waiting for the end credits.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 9, 2005

Dead in the water.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Apr 9, 2005

A perplexing compound of the silly and the glum.

May not be a masterpiece, but it has its share of thoughtful little angles.

Full Review | Apr 9, 2005

It is like an exercise in cinema mechanics: Images, music, photography and mood conspire to create a sense of danger, even though at any given moment we cannot possibly explain the rules under which that danger might manifest itself.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 9, 2005

Watts is a terrific actress, but there's little she can do to cover the cavernous gaps in logic in Ehren Kruger's script.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 9, 2005

This tired followup manages to recycle all that was obnoxious about the first movie while abandoning the one legitimately frightening element of the original: the tape.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Apr 9, 2005

Too many loose ends.

The let's-travel-through-the-온라인카지노추천-screen sequence was better in Fat Albert.

| Mar 22, 2005

I thought the original had a nice evil chill to it, but this is an unnecessary second chapter that dumbs down all the main characters and is curiously lacking in quality scares.

This is a campy scream-a-thon in which you can alternate between freaking and cackling.

Appears to have been written on a large piece of blank paper by chickens with their feet dipped in ink.

| Mar 18, 2005

As in the first movie, there's a lot to the plot that doesn't make sense if analyzed closely, and, as in the first, the end is particularly implausible. But overall, the second Ring is more entertaining.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 18, 2005

Tell yourself that it's not a horror movie but a farce -- at times a rousingly ridiculous one -- and you'll save yourself a world of disappointment.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Mar 18, 2005

While the look and vibe are as polished and unsettling in their blue-white, washed-out way as the first Ring, it's more of a procedural without much real fright.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 18, 2005

Perfunctory, thrill- free sequel.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Mar 18, 2005

Borrowing liberally from the Exorcist and Omen movies, and with little regard for credibility, The Ring Two has a familiar ring to it.
