Awful waste of a good genre

Rating: Null/10 (20 October 2002)

The movie, "The Ring" was one of the most pointless remakes I have ever seen. The ending was pathetic. I am a huge fan of the "Thriller" genre and that is NOT what I got. I think that the writers figured that because of the successes of "Signs", and "The Sixth Sense", that they should put a child in the mix and put it's life in danger and somehow make millions of dollars. I could not see the point of putting another "special" kid in this movie. In fact, I could not see ANY point to this movie. What it really needed was an explanation. This movie left too many questions unanswered and wasted Bran Cox's talent. The acting overall was good, but the whole plot was very weak. The only thing I got out of the movie was a weak stomach and a loss of $10.00.
Please, don't waste your money on this "film".
