Critics 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.

Scarier than the first, but not as interesting.

And while it all looks and sounds amazing (Gabriel Beristain's chilly cinematography and Hans Zimmer's eerie score are standouts) none of that really matters much if as a viewer all I'm doing is sitting there biding my time waiting for the end credits.

Aidan is one of the weirdest, least likable, and most irritating horror kids that ever graced the silver screen.

There’s very little fun to go around, and scarcely any suspense or terror.

While I found the original to be smart and a lot of fun, The Ring Two is just stupid and silly.

Like most American remakes of Japanese movies this is inferior to the first two Japanese versions of the story. The relationship between the mother and child never convinced nor did the acting. Dull and mediocre. A misfire.

8/10 - I liked this movie just as much as the first one, but the first movies are usually always better than the 2nd or 3rd, in my opinion. But again, I liked learning more about Samaras, the ending was actually what made it better for me, the beginning and middle were alright but the ending really had me paying attention! Again I love the creepiness of the movie!

This wildly unnecessary sequel is dull, dumb, and has some of the most laughably bad visual effects of the mid-2000s.
