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.

Reviews for The Ring Two
...so much of the plot is just left dangling, you’d think this thing was shot without a script.
03/16/05
The Ring Two's abandonment of the original film's videotape-of-death hook leaves it floundering.
03/24/05
A tiny bit of the freakiness of the original is lost...but the pros outweigh the cons.
03/17/05
Bolstered with Watts' half-crazy, one-woman-show intensity, Rachel is one tough momma.
03/16/05
In the first Ring, you watched a videotape and seven days later, you were dead. In the second Ring, you watch a movie and seven minutes later, you're asleep.

Top CriticThe Ring Two is one of those rare Hollywood sequels -- a second chapter that holds it own against the ultra successful first.

Top CriticThis boring rehash has not one decent scare, its most unforgivable trait.
03/24/05
Dead in the water.

In "The Ring 2," bathtubs overflow, ceilings drip, walls weep, wells vomit, characters nearly drown, yet ironically, the movie suffers from the lows of a creative drought.
03/30/05
Watts is a terrific actress, but there's little she can do to cover the cavernous gaps in logic in Ehren Kruger's script.
04/09/05
An assortment of scenes from the original reshot with the sprinklers turned on, held together by the thinnest of plots.
03/31/05
Remember, they say, "before you die you see the ring"…it doesn't say anything about having to see the Ring Two!
03/18/05
The Ring Two, which, despite being made by Hideo Nakata, who directed the original Japanese movie, is almost worse [than The Ring].

Only the tone-deaf will mistake The Ring Two for its eerie 2002 predecessor.
03/24/05
The result is actually much better than anyone had perhaps expected, with a fright quota that actually exceeds the original, even if it completely abandons common sense and rational plotting to get there.
04/20/05
Do yourself a favor and don't tarnish the original "Ring" by seeing this sequel.
05/02/05
As rings go, I'd sooner spend another two hours watching the one around my bathtub than sit through any continuation of this tale.
