Consensus: Ring Two serves up horror cliches, and not even Hideo Nakata, the director of the movies from which this one is based, can save the movie from a dull screenplay full of absurdities.

The best advice for experiencing The Ring 2 is to emulate Watts’ involvement. She will tell you she enjoyed making it, but she probably hasn’t thought too much about it since.
03/17/05
The Ring Two is one of those rare Hollywood sequels -- a second chapter that holds it own against the ultra successful first.
03/17/05
Top CriticNakata goes for the long slow chill and avoids the U.S. style of the sudden shockfest.
03/18/05
Doesn't make a lot of sense, but Watts reaches down into a well of her own resolve and somehow makes it work.
03/17/05
Top CriticThe movie is as side-splitting as it is creepy.
03/18/05
Top CriticAs in the first movie, there's a lot to the plot that doesn't make sense if analyzed closely, and, as in the first, the end is particularly implausible. But overall, the second Ring is more entertaining.
03/18/05
The Ring Two manages to repeat just about every shock from the original, but the eerieness of the first film has been replaced by a more pedestrian, plot-driven story.
03/24/05
It’s creepy for sure… but it’s a dead ringer for every Hollywood horror sequel ever created
03/18/05
The Ring Two is subtler and slower-moving than the brand of horror to which we are accustomed, but it is nightmarish, in the true sense of the word.
03/17/05
Top Critica worthy sequel to one of the best American horror movies ever made
03/17/05
Watts is wonderful, and the story's forsaken-child theme still has plenty of horrific power.
03/17/05
This is a campy scream-a-thon in which you can alternate between freaking and cackling.
03/18/05
Top CriticI sort of enjoyed it, but I’m not sure how fans of the first movie will react.
03/25/05
Shouldn't wind up the devotees too much and will keep fans of the first American movie quiet.
04/19/05
Surprisingly engrossing.
03/18/05
a different and, I would argue, slightly better film that its predecessor
04/09/05
Arty, semiscary sequel delivers a few shocks but doesn't rival the first film.
03/17/05
While nearly every shock comes at predictable moments, there is genuine ingenuity behind many, and the movie is surprisingly fresh for one made by a guy on his third go-round with the same material.
