overrated ... thats a pretty weird critique when you think of it ..
what you're suggesting is that all the people who liked it - are wrong. thats not possible for anyone else to say really.
i may have said it in the past but not now because a short while ago i realized that its a non-statement.
The Ring was a well acted, stylish, well made ghost story.
as gar as 'slapping the ghost around ... ahh .. yeah...
i didnt find it boring, i didnt find it stupid, and had none of the usual horror cliches that i would have found laughable..
I enjoued the '7 days' plot .. the mysterious video and phone bit .. the blend of classic ghosts and modern technology ..
I bought into the suspense of the race against time to solve the mystery ...the solution to save her son ...
this movie had more going for it than most 20 american slasher films combined.
it was also one of the most influencial horror movies in years (by way of the Japanese origional)
....but thats just my rating ....
:cool:
