I dont care what critics and people say, I Liked it

Rating: 8/10 (12 September 2003)

My Rating: ***1/4 out of ****.
When The Ring came out I wasn't sure if I would like it or not. To my surprise, I did end up liking it. It also gave me some pretty good scares.

The acting is good in the Ring, surprisingly. Naomi Watts does a good job here. Brian Cox has a pretty good cameo. The kid was really my only complaint dealing with the acting, he just came off like a rip off of Haley Joel Osment's performance from The Sixth Sense.
The Ring represents Gore Verbinski's best work as a director, though there was one shot that maybe a ripoff of Rear Window. The dialogue is fine, though the TV conversation was a little strange and not in a good way. The Ring has some chilling scenes and some pretty scaring, disturbing ones. The film is pretty atmospheric, theres pretty much a sense of atmosphere throughout the movie.
There are questions unresolved in The Ring. I'm hoping they will be resolved in the upcoming sequel. You still wonder when The Ring is over, like Where did it come from? But nevertheless, The Ring is an entertaining and thrilling experience.
