Okay, here is where you all get to hate me....
I found Ringu boring.The lack of effects hurt it. I thought the story in the ring was much more engagin and entertaining, and the bigger budget and effects made the scares more effective. The "oo, im scared" looks on everyone's faces in Ringu were laughable, wheras the distorted faces in ring were diturbing. I thought ringu was good for a modern japanese movie, but i have never been a big fan of theirs. Most anime movies are difficult to follow, or lack an actual plot all together, which was my #1 exposure to japanese movies for a long time.

I haven't seen Ringu and I'm not sure I ever will, but I know I wasn't too impressed with The Ring. I didn't think it was horrible, but it wasn't really scary. The ending sucked. And yeah, whoever said that thing about the know-it-all kids... I agree. I mean, I know kids are more sensitive to extrasensory stuff like that, but most six-year-olds don't know how to be crypitic like that kid.
I felt the same way with The Sixth Sense, too. I just wasn't impressed.

i too finally saw ringu last night. i liked it. the one thing i never understood was the scene on the video where it showed the men crawling and it looked like they were being whiped. does any one know whats up with that? the scene i really enjoyed was when the lady was in the well and she found the courpse (sorry, i am bad with japensse names) she snuggled the courpses close to her neck after we saw the flesh peel away and the eyes ozze from the sockets. i thought it was a very morbid yet sweet scene. i am a really fan of that kind of stuff.

The Ring was better visually (the dead people's faces, effects, I'd even give the cinematogrophy the edge over Ringu), but Ringu is better in the narritive sense
