The Ring (2002)

Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

Thanks for the memories!

For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

If u wanna just watch a movie to get your adrenaline pumping, then it's okay if u watch this. Because other than a little thrill, there's nothing in this movie. Good thing about this, is that it has some scary scenes which will give you goosebumps. A big thumbs up for the makeup artist. Costumes were mediocre. Writing is shit(maybe it's better in the original version), and directing is okay. Acting is also okay, although I expecte more from Naomi Watts. Throughout the movie I had so many questions! I kept thinking "why?". You will know what I'm talking about if you've watched the movie. Well, it was 2002 when it was released, and it's 2018 now, so there will be a lot of difference between the horror movies made now and at that time. So taking all this in consideration, I rated it 6/10.The conclusion would be; watch it. That's the better thing to do. Or if you have already watched it, then I don't think you'd be regretting it.

This is a very good movie like very underrated. It's fun homestly, I had a good time while watching it. This is the film that shock people in 2002, the one that started the japenese horror remake. Always the story is good, the script is well written, good characters, and convincing acting. It's a slow burner because it could feel slow at times but still not a bad movie. The ending is pretty shocking and I'm not spoil it because it doesn't derserve to be spoil. I lile the character Aidan because he's interesting like Tommy Jarvis from Friday The 13th and Jamie Lyoid from HalloweeN. This is my review on The Ring (2002), pretty good movie.

This film is a terrible "remake" of the Japanese miniseries, those were so much better.So much more suspension, so much more "jumpscare value". When I watched the American version I was seriously disappointed.Not every movie or series should be redone....

Several days after their cousin's death, a reporter and her young son find that a cursed videotape watched by individuals leads to their death in seven days and forces them to uncover the meaning of the tape and how to stop its terrible curse before it continues to be passed on.This does have a few pretty nice points about it. Among the better areas here is the fact that this manages to really do some stylized individual scenes to give this some exceptionally enjoyable and chilling moments. From seeing themselves in a live surveillance monitor where they notice their face is all distorted while everything else around them is fine, another starts pulling something out of their mouth that just keeps coming and looks like a long string with something on the end of it and another featuring a bunch of marbles coming together on the floor to make the image of a pointing arrow. It's also got the ability to build up some great scare scenes with a really weird dream where they see an image of a young girl who grabs her on the arm yet when they wake a hand-shaped burn mark across her arm where they were grabbed is noticeable, the incidental videotape itself is incredibly tense and chilling and makes for quite an effective central piece to the puzzle and the revelation at the cabin with the discovery of the well and the big highlight where a partially decomposed girl crawls out of a well on- screen and then crawls out through the TV, onto the floor and then starts walking toward him chasing him around the apartment which is just all sorts of chilling. The only other thing that really works for the film is its final resolution which is a rather chilling outcome. These are all great in making the film quite watchable even though it does have some pretty sizable flaws. One of the biggest issues is that the film didn't need to be as abstract and ambiguous since it's a mystery, and as such should provide us with a clearly defined solution. It's apparent the girl was quite twisted, yet we have no idea why she was mental even before being confined as there's absolutely no explanation what made her that way. What's even stranger is her sense of priority as nothing is given as to what she is trying to get out of all of this. It's obvious we're supposed to feel bad for her, but if they're completely crazy, then there's little chance of it happening. It's also not given how she got inside the videotape anyway, or why a videotape which too obsolete a technology to make much impact. This dates the material greatly and really makes the fear seem less important. Along with a plot that tends to go back on itself by never completely solving one mystery before starting to investigate another, these lower it substantially.Rated PG-13: Language, Violence, children in danger and animal violence.
