This sequel out-does it's predecessor IMO. It injected a bit more life into it without losing the creepy atmosphere or scare-appeal. It continues on with the story of the evil Sadako very well and adds more thrills and chills.

Well this time around the filmmakers got it right. 'Ringu 2' (1999) is now the true sequel to the 1998 original, forget 'Rasen' (1998). This time around we see Mai Takano and the powers that be go of to look for the answers to the cursed video and to find Reiko and Yoichi only to... read more

Ouch. It's hard to explain how wrong this movie goes. It starts off great, but spirals into a complete mess by the end, raising more questions than it answers.

Always intriguing, with a few nerve jangling moments, but again I found myself waiting for a pay-off that never materialized.

Excellent sequel to the amazing Ringu. I love how Nakata never tried to remake the first film, but made a true sequel that starts off exactly where the last one left off. Nobody is safe in this one either as bit players in the first film take the lead and leads are pushed to bi... read more

Director HIdeo Nakata returns to the series, ignoring anything about the film Rasen (The Spiral) and simply continuing his own story.
It's more interesting than the 'other' sequel, but still just spends its running time trying to make the story needlessly complicated, which I fo... read more -

You know, I can't remember if this is the best in the series, or the second best. It's that unmemorable. One aspect which I remember liking is the concept expansion - taking what was in the first film and following through the what-ifs. Do I really have to see this one again to a... read more

One of those sequels that's the same movie, basically. Rasen is actually based on the second novel, and a lot better.
Critic Reviews
Less is often more but in the case of The Ring Two, the lazily-titled sequel to the popular -- and enormously successful -- The Ring, more is less, more or less. Full Review
All the cool stuff is at the very end, but until then...a bunch of new characters figure out all the same stuff that was already deduced in the first film. Full Review
Confuso, entediante e nada assustador, o filme destrói o interessante mito criado no original.
