Although it isn't terrible, "Rings" is a completely unnecessary sequel that does not offer anything new to this franchise, but instead muddles the mythology and previous plot points up.

Rings took an odd over-the-top angle from the very start that did not pay off. The actors did a good job but could not make up for the plot which was clearly an attempt to out do the versions before it... in a bad way. You will notice thisRings took an odd over-the-top angle from the very start that did not pay off. The actors did a good job but could not make up for the plot which was clearly an attempt to out do the versions before it... in a bad way. You will notice this forced complexity to the story. You will find yourself more infatuated in mystery, than in actual horror itself. There are no moments that feel real. This film had much more to work with yet provided a slightly below average experience compared to the horrors it should have been competing with. First you watch it. Then you probably won't again. However, I will not be one of the idiots to give this movie a red score. It was still fun to watch, the concept is close enough to the original, and you have not seen a bad horror movie if this is the worst it can get for you. Worth the watch for the average horror fan if you have nothing else better to do on a weekend.… Expand

Rings isn't great. From the beginning we have a nonsensical gory scene that adds nothing to the plot accept that Samara's tape was in the VCR of a girl who had been killed a week previous. Overall the film is filled with horror tropes andRings isn't great.

An interesting take on the Rings franchise. The film held my interest for the majority of the 2nd and 3rd acts but fell flat in its deliverance of scares and horror elements.

I thought this would be garbage. Turns out, it's much better than I thought. Does that mean it's a good movie? Nope. At least the movie is better than The Bye Bye Man.
