Critic Reviews

  • Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

    It is like an exercise in cinema mechanics: Images, music, photography and mood conspire to create a sense of danger, even though at any given moment we cannot possibly explain the rules under which that danger might manifest itself.

  • Anthony Lane, New Yorker

    A perplexing compound of the silly and the glum.

  • Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com

    May not be a masterpiece, but it has its share of thoughtful little angles.

  • Andrew Sarris, New York Observer

    Too many loose ends.

  • Ed Park, Village Voice

    The let's-travel-through-the-TV-screen sequence was better in Fat Albert.

    Not bad in the way it was made, just bad because you get a been-there-done-that feeling.

    The Ring Two is almost unbearable to watch, it sucked. The storyline was very dull and boring. The cast was exaxtly the same as last time, no big difference. The horrors are cheap redone scares of the first one, nothing new. This movie bored me, and was really stupid.

  • Alexander D


    Some scares, but this one is pointless as a sequel and definitely not as good as the original. The screenwriter should have stuck to scripting an adaptation to the source novel's sequel.

    Ring 1 is better than ring 2
