Summary: Moving vehicle
Review: This film definitely made my stomach churn with anxiety...the only flaw would be the 2 teenagers killed in the car. Apparently Samara comes out of a television dripping wet to scare you to death, how did she manage to catch up with a moving car with no television? Can anyone explain the fly??

Summary: Wow
Review: I loved this movie. Tony Montana is a Simon Cowell wannabe. Notice no one really finds his reviews helpful? Come on, the guy bought diapers and gave them a 1 star rating. Diapers for crying out loud!Everyone I know loves this movie. I love it, I'm going to buy the book and Ringu and Ringu 2 now. Sure, everyone's entitled to their opinion, but I think Tony gives everything the thumbs down just because he's just one of those people who makes witty comments about how things suck (look at his review for the Ludacris CD, Chicken and Beer), thinking he's cool.

Summary: Buyer BEWARE!
Review: ...Not of the movie! It is great. Prety much whatever most people claim it to be! I already wrote a report on the movie but I was ticked off by the losers that seem to hate everything in their lives and they get off on anything by critisizing otherwise great products. Mr. Tony Montana of Miami is a sad example of this. I checked his other reviews and all I found was one star ratings for prety much all he has bought or tried (check this out yourselves and you will see what I mean...). Do not believe his nonsense! The Ring is a really great movie and it will scare you like no other in recent memory. The acting is a bit dull but the movie is a classic thriller with tons of suspense and a killer ending. We had rage...then road rage and now...reviwer rage! Mr. Montana GET A LIFE! Again, I felt obliged to write in order to put the record straight about an otherwise great movie being critisized to death by some sad people. Do yourselves a favor and see the movie if the genre is to your liking and then decide for yoursleves whethet you liked it or not. If scary movies w/o gore is your thing I bet you will have a great time with this!

Summary: Bunch of bad acting; 30 measly seconds of scariness
Review: This movie strings you along, bores you, displays some attrocious acting, then FINALLY hits you with about 30 seconds of terror, near the end. I expected more.
Watts'character is totally unbelievable as a Mom; the kid is totally unbelievable as her kid. Neither display anything even remotely resembling true mother/child affection towards each other.

Summary: Awsome movie, but a Kubrick rip-off in a way
Review: This movie is a cool film, always fun to watch, making you guess from start to finish. But there are some negative sides to this movie..
When i was watching this movie, i thought it was a little like 'The Shining', an awesome Stanley Kubrick film. (Heck, what ISN'T an awesome Stanley Kubrick film?) The ring had the mood of the shining, because it had very strange and graphic images, the plot was dark and eerie, and the photography was just like stan's movies. Lined up to see everything, and staying still for god knows how long. Also it was directed by Gore Verbinski, the man who brought us probably the most annoying and over-rated film of our time, 'Pirates of the Carribean'. I know, even though this came before POTC, it was directed by the same man, so when i watch it NOW, i just cant get that annoying pirate movie out of my mind.
And also, even though the movie is great overall, i just couldn't help to say that the opening scene was so cheesy, i need some Ritz crackers for crying out loud. It begins like one of those horror stories you hear at slumber parties, or at your school on halloween or something. 'Cause first, they're talking about how dumb they are, since tv waves are going through their head and killing brain cells or something like that, i kind of wasn't paying attention to this boring part. Then they all of a sudden switch the convo about a tape that claims to kill people. (Note: That ITSELF sounds corny) Then after that, they talk about what most mid-teen girls usually talk about when they are alone on a saturday night-- boys!
So this movie has it's upsides, and it's downsides, so i gave it a score that was in the middle: 3!

Summary: Scary!!
Review: Before this movie I saw the Ringu so I definetly felt thrown off by the great difference The Ring had. I admit that this movie is alot more scary (I couldn't even see it by myself at night). To be honest I liked it for having that typical american scary movie feel to it but I still prefer the original and the way it plays out (even though it's some what slower). All in all I totally recomend this movie if you love a good horror and being scared to death (hehehehehe).

Summary: Scary, Suspenseful, and a tad bit confusing....
Review: "The Ring" focuses on a woman named Rachel ( Naomi Watts). She is a successful jouranlist that is investigating the death of her teenage niece. According to her niece's friends, it was due to a teenage urban myth. The myth states that there is a video that kills you after you watch it due to a mysterious death curse. Her investigation leads her to the tape, which of course she watches. Rachel sees about a minute worth of footage that includes a ring and a mysterious young girl with long black hair. Rachel receives a telephone call from the girl on the video saying that she will die in seven days. This freaks her out , but she still manages to remain skeptical enough to show the tape to a professional tape editor named Noah ( Martin Henderson) who just happens to be her ex-boyfriend. He also watches the tape and receives the same call. A strange set of events starts to happen that convinces the two that the curse is real. Rachel's son Aidan (David Dorfman)claims that he can speak to the girl in the video, and draws pictures of its contents to prove it. This pushes Noah and Rachel to believe that Aidan's life is in danger as well, and they both become determined to solve the mystery behind the tape to keep the curse from happening. "The Ring" is without a doubt the best horror film that I have seen in a while. With all of the ridiculous Hollywood slasher films out there, it was nice to finally see a change of pace. The thrills that the film offers are very mature and realistic. The special effects were incredible, and will make you flinch at times. The film overall is fast paced, and the suspense will keep you on the edge of your seat for the majority of the film. Naomi Watts does a very good job as Rachel. The emotion that she portrays is very realistic, and she looks legitimately scared for her life. Brian Cox and Martin Henderson were also fantastic. However, the best performance was given by David Dorfman who played Rachel's son Aidan. Best performance of a young boy in a horror film since Haley Joel Osmand in " Sixth Sense". The film does have a few flaws though, which is why I could not give it 5 stars. While the film is well put together and rather terrifying, it can be quite confusing at times. In a movie such as this, the viewer wants to be scared and entertained. But you also want to have an understanding of why it happened. The ending is especially frustrating, because it leaves room for questioning. "The Ring" is an excellent horror film with very few flaws. While you may be slightly confused at the outcome of the film, you will be scared out of your mind and entertained overall. The DVD offers a never-before-seen short film created by the director that reveals secrets about the film. You also get to see a trailer for the film "Ringu", which is the Japansese film that "The Ring" was based on.

Summary: What???
Review: I am not a big fan of the horror genre. But I started this movie with an open mind only to find myself waiting for some kind of closure as the ending credits started. Convoluted visuals and a half-baked plot with nothing to back either one up simply left me wondering "What happened"? It starts out with a promising story line. People who watch a certain video tape are dying seven days after viewing it. But from there the story is weak, distracting, and just plain stupid. You are no closer to knowing why any of these events occured at the end of the movie. I am not a dense person. I don't need to have everything spelled out for me in movies. I don't mind "open" endings where you have to use your brain. But there is a fine line between artistic and inane. This movie crosses that line using several giant steps.
