Ringu vs. The Ring

Rating: Null/10 (11 December 2002)

Usually when I hear the word "American Version/Remake", it just makes me want to grab my hair and tear it off my scalp. I have watched both the original version (Ringu) and the American version (The Ring), and made a conclusion that the original version is MUCH better than the American version. One of the reasons why the Japanese version is better is because it explains more of the situation or plot rather then throwing audiences around in confusion. Yet the American version does try its best to follow the original's plot, even though Hollywood has a bad rep of screwing up original stories from books and video games. For those who didn't know, Ringu (the original Japanese version) is a series that has two sequels and a prequel , followed by tv spin-offs, a Korean remake of the original, and many others.
