Summary: Not what everyone says it is...
Review: I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and have been anxiously awaiting its release on DVD ever since. However, this movie is NOT what everyone has made it out to be.This is not a scary movie, per se. Due to the style in which it was shot and edited, there are moments that "JUMP-OUT!" and therefore make one shoot from their seat in a quick rush of adrenaline. I cannot state enough how very much I appreciate how this movie managed to incite a factor of fear without going for the "gross-out" technique that most modern horror films do opt for. In my mind, that's too easy. It's by far more intriguing to lead a viewer down a path and let their own imagination do most of the work. I believe the rather jumpy cinematic style & story to The Ring accentuates this idea and becomes the catalyst for the few scares you will inevitably receive watching it. For those of you out there that have the ability to see far beyond what's just on the screen... for those that can see meaning and depth lurking in the far corners behind Hollywood shine, The Ring offers another dimension. My girlfriend and I were both immediately struck by one larger than life metaphor carried through out this movie. To this day, however, I'm amazed that any person I've spoke to has never once glimpsed a part of it, and ironically The Ring addresses this very phenomenon. Yes, you will get a physical rise out of The Ring, but it offers so much more. Samara isn't just a ghost. She epitomizes the downfall of our society's culture through being spoon fed media 24-7. The movie constantly alludes to this very idea. Over and over, actually. TV is everywhere, in every home, at every moment... pervading every mind. How many people in the world sit and blankly stare at their TV's without a thought in their heads? Flat-lined frontal lobes. The mind is dead from too much televised anesthesia. TV can kill... both onscreen and off.

Summary: Pretty Darn Scary
Review: Ok, let me start by saying that I saw The Ring in the theater and it scared the bejeesus out of me, not so much in the theater as over the next few days in my own home.
How scary is it? It's probably an individual thing. Some people can't stand the sound of fingernails on a chalkboard, for others it's the sound of a squeaking balloon; I thought the Exorcist was a joke, some people call it still the scariest movie ever. For myself, I don't think I've ever seen a movie that freaked me out as much as this one, but that's just me. I guess that what tweaks that sensitive nerve is different in everybody.
There has also been a lot of comparison between The Ring and the original Japanese Ringu, mostly by reviewers whose level of discrimination and taste are, by their own admission, far beyond that of the average American. Please! Most criticism in this area is just snobbery. Ok, I haven't seen Ringu, and I admit that The Ring probably has suffered to some extent in it's adaptation for American audiences. For example, the cursed video contains some images which are meant to be disturbing but which do not have anything to do with the movie, and that probably weakens it. But the original Ringu video (which I've seen) is only about 40 seconds long, too short for an element so central to the film. On the plus side, The Ring's production values are outstanding and the acting is solid. I'm sure The Ring stands up nicely next to the original.
To Verbinski's credit, The Ring doesn't succumb to the temptation to explain everything. That may make the movie seem disjointed and plotless to some, but in my view such spoon feeding is usually just patronizing. Some ambiguity here is probably a good thing.
I can't promise that this movie will scare everyone, but if my TV (which is broken) ever turns itself on and shows static, I'm running!

Summary: Whats All The Fuss About
Review: I desperately wanted to see this movie because I'd read loads of top reviews and the trailer made it look fantastic. But when I did see it I thought the film was absolute rubbish! Sure its kinda scary when something jumps out at you but people are comparing this film to classics like The Exorcist! Hello. The Exorcist was actually a decent film with a storyline that didn't make you feel like you wanted to kill yourself. The Ring has a complicated storyline and unlike most horror movies YOU have to work it out instead of being told about it. After a small generation of fantasy type horrors (Soul Survivors, They . . .) I'm proud to say The Ring is just another [copy] that has been hyped up way too much!

Summary: The Best Horror Movie Ever Maded!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: This movie rocks, it's the best horror movie ever maded. It's on my top 5 best movies of all time. The Ring is scarier then Rosemary's Baby and The Exsorceis. You can watch the ring over and over and still be scared. Add The Ring to your movie collection. You can not let this movie pass you by. If you like horror movie you will like The Ring.

Summary: Suspense
Review: I saw this moving the other night and it was not nearly as scarey as I thought it would be, but I was pleasently surprised it was a good film and a good story. I would purchase this DVD for my collection and watch it again.

Summary: Worst movie.....ever.
Review: I knew this movie was going to blow because it was only rated PG-13. The ticket guy at the theater told me, "No man, some of these PG-13 movies can scare you good." Whatever. This movie is long, slow and really, really stupid. The ending....OMG; I wanted to put a hole in the theater screen. It looks like they spent all their money on the rest of the movie and then ran out of both money and brain cells for the ending. The whole climax of the movie revolves around a technicality so insanely random that it ruins the entire movie.
There are maybe three "scary" parts (translation: "make you jump" parts).
Stay away from this bad movie. Don't waste your time or money on seeing it; just ask someone who did to tell you everything about it, including the stupid plot.

Summary: THE ONLY BONUS FEATURE ON THE DVD!
Review: This is a review of the only big feature on the DVD. I viewed it on VHS (my video store was all out of DVD) so I don't know if the DVD comes with a commentary or not but the only feature I know of is the Experimental Film that the director put together featuring extra footage deleted from the movie and some added scenes to the video featured in the movie. It is an okay feature but should have been different, it was kind of a waste of time. But get the DVD just for the movie!

Summary: very scary...empty ending....
Review: Too bad they didn't bother to explain why the evil is evil or where it came from. Overall I would still say SEE THIS MOVIE IF YOU WANT TO BE SCARED but expect a fizzle in the plot.
