The Ring definitely held promise, with an original concept. The story may not be a believable one but many horror classics have been based on unbelievable premises. The end-product was a well-thought, nicely-directed and enjoyable flick.
It did have its weak points though. And pt.2 flushed it down the drain quick. Tamara could have been the next cult icon but now most of us have already forgotten her...
Like I have always believed "Watch it to enjoy it. If its good, it'll have a re-run on your player. If not, into the attic with it!"
