Only because of Naomi

Rating: 6/10 (10 November 2002)

I gave "The Ring" a "6" and it's only that high because of its star Naomi Watts. I felt there was a good story there, but it never got realized. Verbinski did the best with the material, but I've seen the Japanese version (which is much better) and something just got lost in the translation.
But Watts shines in her first starring role. She commands the screen and your attention.
