Rings (2017)

the audience applauded

Sadly Over-hyped

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

This one is more interesting than previous rings parts, don't know why audience give it low ratings

"Rings" is a horror movie in which we watch a young woman trying to reach her boyfriend who is missing in his try of exploring a dark urban legend (a mysterious video said to kill the watcher seven days after viewing). In the meantime and as she is trying to save her boyfriend she discovers something about this movie that none has ever found. Something that maybe can change everything.I have to admit that I expected more from this movie and of course I was disappointed from it. It's the third movie of this series and I believe is the worst. The plot is at a very basic level which makes the movie boring and without any suspense, something that it's mandatory when we talk for a horror movie. In addition to this the direction which was made by F. Javier Gutiérrez is not so good due to the lack of experience or imagination of him or even because of low budget that this movie has. The interpretations of Johnny Galecki who plays as Gabriel and Vincent D'Onofrio who plays as Burke, they can be seen as "supporting players" in this film and nothing more.Finally I believe that "Rings" is a simple - medium movie with low budget, poor cast and direction which used a name in order to make money and of course it failed. In comparison with the previous two movies I have to say that it's the worst and I don't recommend it to anyone, you are going to lose your time watching it.

Can we just take the time to appreciate the original Japanese horror and the American remake. Just...a little bit longer...ok done. The scariest thing about this convoluted mess of pointlessness was that it wasn't titled 'The Ring Three'...they just pluralised it instead. Ignore the first two good chapters, we follow the two most boring young adults in existence as they uncover the truth behind the demonic TV ghost-lady, Samara. However, a professor comes across the tape and...oh forget it, I can't be bothered describing the plot. This. Was. Pointless. Why does this even exist!? Who possibly thought this was a good idea! Rehashing the same plot points from its predecessors and somehow turning it into an incoherent ball of blahhhh. There's more clarity in Samara's tape which consists of ambiguous imagery that looked like it was filmed in the 1960s! I feel for her, I really do. Now that a professor (someone who has a doctorate in something, obviously) creates an experiment where students watch the tape. Get this though, prepare yourself, in order to avoid dying in seven days they have to copy a '.mov' file and get someone else to watch it. That...was the best they could come up with. Poor old Samara is having to phone everyone whispering "seven dayssss" as if it's a full time job! Then once the mystery is "solved", in which amounts to nothing, there is a final plot twist. You see that tagline on the front cover? "Evil is reborn"? Spoiler alert, that's the final twist. But heck, you guys won't care. It's riddled with atrocious acting, coincidences upon coincidences in a coincidental story about coincidences, legitimately zero scares and the stupidest first scene ever. Only Gutiérrez's creative directing style prevents this from getting the worst score. My god, this was bad. Makes 'The Ring' look like a masterpiece. Yikes!

I'm a fan of ghost mysteries so it worked for me to a degree. The movie is hampered by the fact that the producers couldn't decide what type of movie it was to be - the beginning has more in common with Final Destination (aircraft scene) which seems brutally hammered on to the rest of the movie. Then we cut to a stab at some basic Ring stuff, you see the movie, seven days later... etc. Then we quickly leave the professor behind (the synopsis will have you believe that this production is about his 'experiment' when it is irrelevant to the plot). Then the actual movie begins, or the third stab at it anyways - a young couple go in search of the mystery behind the girl's visions, which is also a search for Samara and her origins. It bothered some that the mother is part of this but if you treat this as a standalone movie (after the muddled start) then it works - provided you like ghost/supernatural mysteries. They would have been better off dropping the tenuous link to The Ring and pressing on with an independent story in which we could see more of Vincent D'Onofrio, who was superb in this as the blind preacher (no surprise), and play that theme to the full.
