The Ring 2

[Anonymous]

Anyone have any idea, if the movie is in the making or anything? Because, really i do hope that they actually make a The Ring 2. I went over to IMDB (Internet Movie Data Base) and looked up the Ring, for the "Orginal" Japanesse version the ring also known as "Ringu" and saw that there was a part 2. (Ringu 2 and/or The Ring 2) I read the movie description for Ringu 2, and it said that the son of i suppose "Noah' begins to posess the same powers as Samara did, when she was a child. I could not for surely translate the whole thing, and this information Could and might possibly be false, because the Movie Description gave the original Japanesse names of the people, and I couldnt really tell what they were actually saying.
Also, I think I read something about a Ringu 3, but that one for sure did not make any sense, the Japanesse named used For Samara, in the Movie Description for Ringu 2, was also givin int he Movie Description for Ringu 3, but it said, that it was a story a bout how she went through college, and how her drama group mysteriously began to loose members to death. I really have no clue what to expect, because the names are screwing with me. But if anybody has any clue, for example if anyone has actually seen "Ringu 2" please reply and let me know what the whole Real Movie Description is! Not the ending or anything... or any spoiliers, just basically the tagline.

Hey thanks for the links, actually the way i found this site was through the ring. I was really interested in "watching the videotape" :-P!

[Brian]

Nice! So what did you think of THE VIDEO TAPE?

[Mikey-Son]

I loved the video tape! I went to the actual Ring The Movie site, and watched their T.V. Spot, which had some of the footage from the actual tape, but it wasnt everything and it ended liked a trailer, which was really bad. But the video tape here showed everything!!!
Thanks! I'll be posting for awhile.

[Mikey-Son]

Brain, do you have any idea of when The Ring Is coming out on dvd?

[Brian]

Hmmm...not sure right now....I'll look into it though!

[Cypher]

hehe,

Brain, do you...

[Mikey-Son]

I dont get it

[Cypher]

you said brAIn rather than brIAn

[Mikey-Son]

OH my bad :-P
and to think i have a cousin named Brian

[Brian]

Thanks for clearing that up Cypher.

Is it just me or did DreamWorks decide that the teaser site for the second installment of the Ring was a bad idea? I have tried to go to it a million times in the past few days and I've got nothing. Anyone have any idea what is going on? Maybe a link to where I can look at some of the stuff that was on it perhaps?

Right i know what is wrong with it
It has not finished the website so only has the starter not the proper website
Should come soon! :roll:

[solidhutch50]

The ring was okay but I dont think it was good enuf t make a sequel. But, who knows maybe they can make a better one.

[dead_head_38229]

I agree, The Ring was a good movie. But you just had to know they were gonna make a sequal....9 times out of 10 when a movie catches on like that the studio automatically thinks sequal. And as everyone knows, almost all sequals bomb!! But we faithfully go see them anyway 8)

[momerath]

Well, you never know when a sequel is going to be good... just like... hmm, funny, I can't think of any good ones :tongue:

[Anonymous]

The Ring is a remake of the Japanese movie which has a sequel, maybe 2. Maybe The Ring 2 will be a remake of the Japanese Ring 2.

[ClarkParker]

And as everyone knows, almost all sequals bomb!!

Almost all sequels bomb? This year alone there's been four highly successfull sequels to highly successfull films.

http://www.moviesonline.ca/movienews_692.html

I am looking forward to seeing how this movie goes. I liked the first one, but the ending didnt quite do it for me.

[MovieReel]

I take it he's on abou the Hollywood version, Not the Japanese crap ?

[Garfield83]

I'll watch it even though the first remake was shit. It started great but then fizzled out. Not like the origianl that was.........nasty!

[Habodabi]

I think the Japanese version "Ringu" is a good film. It's low budget but alot of Japanese movies look like this one. It had great ideas and it's low budget look and feel lent some reality to it. I have it on DVD, it's a good creepy movie.
I don't know if there is a second Ringu or not. If there is, it would be cool to see it.

The Ring is better in my opinion just becasue they don't stray from the plot too far and the updated creepy images were pretty haunting.
A second Ring could be good but I thought the little girl in the well was finally at peace so the story ends there...

[Reno]

I want to see the jap version where can you get it.

[Habodabi]

I dunno, buy it off the web. It's called RINGU.

I got mine locally at Fry's Electronics for $14......Kawai!!!!!

[Garfield83]

Yeah I thought the girl was at piece, was the deal there?

[Mountainsofolivs]

Yeah I thought the girl was at piece, was the deal there?

THey have a plotline to it on this site, just search for it

[Anonymous]

You know damn well the first was not scary do you really think the 2nd one will be any different

[Reno]

I can't wait for it.

[Mountainsofolivs]

The first one wasnt scary, but it was good

[Anonymous]

do u think this one is going to be better than the last one

[Anonymous]

but like i thought that the 2nd one was going to be about more and more ppl watching the tape and how they just have to keep makeing copies of it to live? but it really isn't! do u know anything or anygood sites to go to for info??????????

[Snatchtastic]

I know a good site for all your ring needs. Just send lots and lots of messages to ThatKid, and he will send you pictures from the movie.

Thanks for the trailer...doesn't seem to tell or show us much more than the first one. I'll be interested to see what they do with this movie. I'm glad they kept the same cast as well.

[Krossroads]

March 18th.

[sloth_dog]

How in the world can anyone expect that this movie will be any shadow of good? This movie is destined for utter sucking of balls. The trailer does not make it look entertaining one ****ing bit. This is going to fail worse than the Blair Witch Project 2 - mark my words.

[That Kid]

Good job.

[sloth_dog]

Thank you, Mr. T. Kid - good to hear that somebody has a shared taste for the impending failure of a crappy, terrible stinker of a movie.

Oh sh*t :lol:

[Ninqualda.net]

I happen to have seen the film last sunday. Read my review here (http://movieweb.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=4015) , if you want to know.

Don't read it if you haven't seen the first 'The Ring'!

Though I don't know if you'll agree with my review after you have seen the movie I hope to give a good image of te film.

[bret]

Just curious as to what everyone’s thoughts are about this movie. Personally I was really expecting too much and thought this movie was well, bad. Actually it’s not a terrible movie; just it’s not in the same league as the first one. Honestly I think they should have just left the movie without a sequel.

How about you?

[Ninqualda.net]

I thought is was waay better than the first. At least, I was freaked out sometimes by The Ring Two, and I wasn't scared at all by The Ring. And alltogether I like the fact they made a new story of the film, instead of redoing the first. I liked it definately! (You can read my review in the Coming Soon section, I have seen it last sunday during a preview premiere)

[Striel]

The Ring 2 sucks. Do NOT waste your money. ESPECIALLY if you really like the first one, it will just make you angry.

[bret]

my thoughts exactly

[lbosquet]

no thanks

[Ninqualda.net]

Well, do what you like, but it wouldn't hurt to read some other opinion than your own!

[lbosquet]

I get away from reviews for movies I still haven't seen. I'll read your reveiw AFTER I've watched the movie...I want to go see it unbiased.

[ItalianGoddess86]

I haven't seen this movie myself yet, but I heard that it was scary and better then the first one. I have to watch the movie myself to see if it was scary and better then the first. It better be good or I'm gona get pissed off at the people who saw it and told me it was good.

[That Kid]

Some people who saw it said it was unscary and crappy. And I had little interest in the first place, so I'm not going to bother.

[bret]

yes exactly, wasnt scary at all. I was laughing at some parts actually.

[sushiboi92]

it wasnt that bad of a movie, definitely not as scary as the first, but i liked the plot and how everything turned out... do any of you guys (who watched the movie) know what racheal said when she closed the well???? was it "im not your f***ing mom" or "im not your f***ing mommy?"

[bret]

yea she said "im not your f****** mommy or something to that extent

[sushiboi92]

dammit, then i guess i lose $5 if its "mommy" instead of "mom"

[That Kid]

You made a bet based on that? :lol:

[Ninqualda.net]

:D cool...

Anyway lbosquet, sorry for my reaction... I've had too many people calling me names, because I actually liked the film. So... well, sorry...

And people think differently about this film, it's the extra aspect of Samara that is bothering many people, while I just liked it.[/b]

[sushiboi92]

@that kid, it was an argument and someone blurted out "i'll bet you five bucks" towards this other girl and she was like "Okay" and i kind of went along for the ride. :roll:

I think this movie really wasnt intended to be a total scary movie, it was just supposed to wrap up what happened and end the story. while making it mildly scary of course. I dont think anybody will have nightmares about this movie. If they do, then they're pussies.

[lolly381]

The Ring Two was an a great movie. Although it fails to mention the story from the first movie, you don't have to see the first movie to understand the second. This one had a story of its own which made this movie even better. Most sequels usually feed off of the stories from original movies which lowers the suspense and excitement. However, in this movie the audience were captivated by the suspense of this film. It was hard to tell what the next move of the characters and the storyline would be. Not only was the story excellent, but the special effects helped the movie out with horror. These effects made you almost feel as if you were actually inside the movie. Great movie overall.

[Ninqualda.net]

Yes! Finally someone who did like the movie, like I did!!

[sushiboi92]

nice one lolly, but i disagree on when you said that you dont have to see the first movie to understand the second. All of the classic water running and really weird faces werer from the first, and you wouldnt understand what the water meant until later in the movie or if you watched the first one. I think they showed a lot of refrences to the first one. was it mom or mommy? when she said im not your f***ing mom(my)?

[bret]

Yea just shows different views. I thought the movie was a complete waste of film. There was nothing scary about it, the entire cg dear had the exact same antlers, which if you know anything about dear, RARLY happens. When you compare it to the first one, it was bad, just plain bad. But as a stand alone movie, it’s alright. The special effects with the water were cool. But I didn’t feel it was a different view that made me not like it, I just found it incredibly corny. I was expecting another horror flick, not a drawn out watered down version of the first one. and about the mommy line, I don’t remember what exactly she said, could of been mommy or mom, I don’t remember.

[shaneOmac]

I've noticed that to people saying "It sucked" are most likely the people that think that original films are "always" better than the sequels, well... although that's true over 50% of the time... It's not true all of the time. To me, The Ring 2 kept you more involved and interested in the film unlike The Ring 1 that was a bit slow at times. Not a waste of money in my opinion... The film is quite good. It was "Mommy" by the way Sush.

Good Sequels:

GODFATHER II
LORD OF THE RINGS: RETURN OF THE KING
The EMPIRE STRIKES BACK
X2: X Men United
DAWN OF THE DEAD 1978
THE RING 2
AMERICAN PIE 2
AUSTIN POWERS 2 & 3
TERMINATOR 2

There's many more, the above is just an example.

[That Kid]

Toy Story 2, Spider-Man 2, Superman II and Batman Returns are also on that list.

I personally didn't say it sucked, but I've heard bad things about it from people I know, and plus it didn't look interesting to me at all, which is why I don't want to say.

[Krossroads]

DAWN OF THE DEAD 1978

That was a remake, not a sequel.

[carl]

DAWN OF THE DEAD 1978

That was a remake, not a sequel.No it was a sequel to The Night Of The Living Dead :wink:

[shaneOmac]

DAWN OF THE DEAD 1978

Yep... And your a MovieWeb moderator??

[Krossroads]

Sorry. I was thinking of something else.

[Lidiss]

Hey guys. It may sound weird but I really am not sure whether to watch the Ring two. I was really-really scared by the first one, I think it's the scariest movie I've ever seen in my life. So now I'm hesitaiting whether should I watch the second one. I really want to see it, but I'm afraid I'll be scared even more. What will you tell?

[bret]

^^^trust me, i was frightened at parts of the first one, but this was just dull. nothing scary at all.

[MovieChick]

I think if I succomb to my curiousity about this movie, I'll rent it. I've heard to many different opinions to waste $9 on this movie if I'm going to hate it.

[Movie Princess]

Needless to say, the following rant will contain spoilers.



OK so were all aware of the fact that The Ring was a pretty run of the mill remake to Ringu, and we're also aware of the fact that Ringu 2 was not in the same league as the original, but did we really need to change to this? Who the hell asked for this watered down, scare free, rip off of Dark Water? I mean what the hell was the deal with those dear? First horses now dear, what wanders will Ring 3 feature to convince us that all animals are just plain insane??? Why, oh why did we neeed a CGI water girl flying out of the bath tub? Who the hell asked for a mommy to get sucked into the TV set? and on the subject, just how in the hell did diving off a cliff save her from a life of televised doom? Plugging up the well... retarded!!! and would somebody please teach that kid some manners. Rachael this, Rachael that, I dont like saying mom. Every five minutes, somebody just slap that kid and teach him some manners already. In case you hadn't noticed, I really didn't like this crap. It was almost as bad as The Grudge. :cry:

[CaRrIsSa]

Hey i havent yet seen the movie but im going 2 go c it this week.... so can u ppl just tell me this.... if i enjoyed the 1st 1 do u think i'll like the 2nd 1 :?: :?: :?: :?: i rekon i'll get the s**t scared outta me so yeah. lol

Cya Lata :D

[momerath]

Right... I used to think That Kid was exaggerating when he mocked the way some people type. How horribly wrong I was.

Anyway, to answer your question, you might like it if you don't think about it at all. It isn't scary, though. Not even slightly. Hardly a decent jump-enducing scene in the whole movie. I wouldn't recommend it.

[mrs_margera]

What do you think about the ring 1 and 2? i thought that they where bloody brilliant! i seriously cannot watch the first one by myself. the second one i can handle. but not the first. the second one was very good though!

[lbosquet]

What do you think about the ring 1 and 2? i thought that they where bloody brilliant! i seriously cannot watch the first one by myself. the second one i can handle. but not the first. the second one was very good though!

The one was quite terrific...the second one was a pale imitation remotely trying to draw interest in the viewers. Nothing really scary, some creepy moments, plot 'holes', bad and annoying acting and too much pretention about trying to match the first one in intensity and suspense...

[mrs_margera]

well, you know how you can tell when there will be a sequal to a scary movie, well i seriously donot think that there will be another ring. but what they could have done to make the second one scarier was they could have put samora in it more. they just showed he in the boy, so it didn't make it nearly and scary as the first one.

well, I think that since in the roiginal japanese version there have been 3 Ringu, there must be a remake of Ring 0 soon......a prequel to the 2 showing Samara's childhood and how the tape got this curse....

[mrs_margera]

that sounds pretty good, but i hope they don't ruin it and make it not scary. i am a scary movie fanatic, and i love SCARY MOVIES! i heard that amittyville horror is like REALLY scary. what do you think.

[lbosquet]

[mrs_margera]

well, i have seen the original amittyville horror, and if you like the old time sorta scary movies, you would like it, but as for me, i am more into the up to date sorta movies. But one director who really makes old movies good. STEPHN KING. i absolutely LOVE rose red, pet cemetary, and i also hear tommyknockers was REALLY scary. yeah, house of wax does look like it would be a good time movie.

[lbosquet]

[Dopey]

I still haven't seen Ring 2, but Ring 1 was pretty twisted. I liked it :twisted: It was more of a mentally scary movie...not really scary in terms of the movie scenes.

[BloodBath88]

I have only seen the first Ring, which definately scared the hell out of me. Everyone has told me that the second Ring is terrible, and definately not as scary, I have surprised myself by not seeing it. I heard that the movie tried too hard and doesnt have the same eeriness that made the first one so scary.

bloodbath, what you've heard is correct. Watch the 3 Ring movies, both the originals and the 2nd Japanese one. BTW, Stephen King is not a director buddy. I liked both the Amityville Horrors, but the remake was slightly more entertaining while the original follows the actual story and the actual book.
