Here it comes, the long-awaited sequel to the one of the most overrated, but still watchable & pretty scary though, Japanese-gone-Hollywood horror 'The Ring'... But, oops! Something doesn't fit, something hasn't worked out... Something? Hmm... Everything in the movie fails! Let's admit it, the story of 'The Ring' was very very questionable! Huge plot holes were here & there. But compared to this masterpiece of human brain disorder - the first Ring's story was as well put together as it gets, since 'The Ring Two' hasn't got any kind of combination of logical thoughts on which the movie is based, which I could force myself to call with such a word as 'story'. 'The Ring Two' is just one huge gaping plot hole, featuring a bunch of stale clichés & pitiful dialogs. Most of the parts, which were supposed to be horrifying were welcomed with viewers ironic laughter. Idiotic scenes in abundance here (just remember the sequence with the deers). OK, the direction is awful too! As you remember 'The Ring', despite above-mentioned plot holes was scary. As I think not only due to the writing, but mainly direction. The atmosphere of the film was heavy, dark, gloomy. Here we see quite the opposite: a lovely small town, optimistic view of the loony bin, even the house, where Samara used to live looks like a wonderful country home & not like a scary place it was in 'The Ring'. Seriously, even minors won't find a flick like this scary! The visuals... Well, to say that they are bad is to say nothing. The visuals are awful, truly primitive & not scary! Seriously the visuals in 'Charmed' look good compared to this one. Acting is as poor as it gets. Not believable: it is rather overacting we see or no acting at all. No acting at all is better I gotta say. Had this movie come out earlier, the Scary Movie 3 would've been totally unsuitable as a parody for 'The Ring'... Disgusting attempt to make more money by the studio bosses. Wait until the flick is on TV. It won't take long, trust me.
