underwhelming

Rating: 4/10 (16 August 2007)

i may be in the minority here,but i just didn't find the Ring to be a good movie.for me,it's not much different the the Grudge.i will say,i liked it a bit more than The Grudge,only because it isn't so annoying.there are a few differences between the two movies,but in my mind,it's almost the same movie.i do remember being bored and struggling to not nod off.i just didn't see any excitement anywhere in the movie,but that's just me.Naomi Watts is in it,and she's not bad,considering what she has to work with.but once again,the ghost is not scary,although it does look a bit creepy,i guess,vaguely.i didn't feel any suspense either.but if you liked The Grudge,then you might like The Ring.or you might want to check out The Messengers(which i liked) and Pulse,(2006)(which i liked)which are sort of similar but better in my opinion.as for The Ring,i give it 4/10
