why?

Rating: 2/10 (10 September 2005)

This remake thing has got to end already. Are Americans really that stupid that we can't be bothered with reading subtitles? Why must we feel we need to make everything "better" when it just is never the case...Don't fix what isn't broken.
Ringu is a far superior film to the remake, it seems they took all the atmosphere and chills out of the original and made some cookie cutter piece of garbage. The girl in the closet at the beginning was a good scare but everything else was complete trash.
I have not seen the sequel yet but although I like the fact that they had the decency to bring back the original director I heard that it was even worse than the first one.
