(1 - 43) of 43 OFCS Rating: 17% Rotten Page   1   D "The Ring Two is exactly what every horror film tries not to be, and that is boring."   FromTheBalcony   Bill Clark 2/5 "An assortment of scenes from the original reshot with the sprinklers turned on, held together by the thinnest of plots."   Bloody Disgusting   Brian Juergens D "This change of focus only makes the vapid horror ambiance of this franchise all the more forgettable. "   FilmJerk.com   Brian Orndorf C- ""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."   ColeSmithey.com   Cole Smithey "The fact that Evelyn is played by Sissy Spacek in a Loretta-Lynnish big black wig makes her somewhat thrilling as an idea."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs B "It’s creepy for sure… but it’s a dead ringer for every Hollywood horror sequel ever created"   EDGE Boston   David Foucher 1.5/4 "A long, exhausting and pointless 111-minute exercise in red herrings, dead-end justifications and contrived horror situations."   Cinemaphile.org   David Keyes 2/4 "Less is often more but in the case of The Ring Two, the lazily-titled sequel to the popular -- and enormously successful -- The Ring, more is less, more or less."   Movie Boeuf   David N. Butterworth 2/4 "...there's virtually no reason for the movie to even exist."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair "Under difficult circumstances, the actors admirably keep straight faces."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Donald J. Levit 2/4 "Moves fast and isn't without its freakish images—but it becomes obvious the film was rushed into production without much thought or faithfulness into the first picture's lore."   DustinPutman.com   Dustin Putman C "Nothing but sudden jolts and senseless eeriness, scattershot elements that might be frightening if there were any rhyme or reason to them."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider C+ "It has a scare or two, and threatens to become involving at points, but in the end it simply does not have the intellectual mettle to satisfy."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov 2/4 "Saddled with a dreary pacing and the need to fulfill its sequel-itis tendencies, this particular Ring is tainted jewelry in search of its missing sparkle"   Movie Eye   Frank Ochieng C- "This 'Ring' is strictly zircon, not diamond...plods along, trying to create a brooding atmosphere of menace but instead engendering one of boredom."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 1.5/4 "A dull, plodding horror movie that ventures into the realm of idiocy when it isn't busy remaking the first film."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 3/4 "a different and, I would argue, slightly better film that its predecessor"   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 3/5 "Arty, semiscary sequel delivers a few shocks but doesn't rival the first film."   Netflix   James Rocchi 5/10 "There's really nowhere left to go."   Window to the Movies   Jeffrey Chen 3/10 "I wish someone had slapped the video from the first movie into my theater’s reel so that I could have avoided having to sit through the rest of this boring disaster."   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo 37/100 "Provides one or two jumps and they're suitably creative, but they don't represent the film as a whole which is, in short, a mess."   FilmFocus   Joe Utichi 2.5/5 "full review in Greek"   Movies for the Masses   Joseph Proimakis 2.5/5 "Destroyed its own best scary bits in favor of digging up more mythology."   Cinerina   Karina Montgomery 2.5/4.0 "... shouldn’t Samara have upgraded to DVD by now?"   MovieCrypt.com   Kevin A. Ranson 1.5/5 "This movie is nothing more than a big number two."   7M Pictures   Kevin Carr C+ "...may be the first sequel where I actually wish they'd made another copy"   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 2.5/5 "Its focus on the relationship between fiercely protective Rachel Keller and her imperiled son, Aiden, is surprisingly dull."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh "I’m saying dying would have been preferable to sitting through The Ring Two -- it’s not that bad, just kind of boring and repetitious."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 2.5/4 "The 'terror' remains that only in theory as, for all its isolated amusements, [the film] never truly scares."   TheMovieReport.com   Michael Dequina 0.5/5 "Just about as bad as the first film was. If anything, it's a little stupider."   Goatdog's Movies   Michael W. Phillips, Jr. 3/4 "A tiny bit of the freakiness of the original is lost...but the pros outweigh the cons."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan 1.5/4 "Just as the director’s creepy gliding camera endlessly haloes his distraught characters, The Ring franchise now appears content to simply go around in circles. "   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 2/5 "We’re left with another tepid PG-13 horror sequel that rehashes huge chunks of the original and, in the end, has almost nothing new to offer."   Film Threat   Pete Vonder Haar 4/5 "This isn't a slasher horror film at all; it gets deep into the characters' heads."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline C "Wan, thin, and surprisingly boring, even for the simple needs of a genre picture."   Flipside Movie Emporium   Rob Vaux B- "[Helmer Hideo Nakata] rolled up his sleeves and did a yeoman’s job in making somewhat fresh a story that, I hope, is over."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford 1.5/5 "So predictably beholden to its predecessor that you can practically smell the reek of formula cooling on its hide."   eFilmCritic.com   Scott Weinberg "Unfortunately, the screenplay by Ehren Kruger is littered with plot holes that reduce the story to a generic thriller formula."   Cinefantastique   Steve Biodrowski 7/10 "Nakata is a superb storyteller, using anticipatory, suspenseful pacing and visual effects - if you liked the first, you'll like the second."   Modamag.com   Susan Granger 1/4 "Deadly dull, frequently hilarious."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw "Click here to see review"   Wolf Entertainment Guide   William Wolf 5/10 Read review   Movie Gazette   Anton Bitel Read review   Cinema Crazed   Felix Vasquez Jr.  (1 - 43) of 43 OFCS Rating: 17% Rotten Page   1
