Well, actually, I'm not that fond of J-Movies either I must say.
I think the main problem for me is that, and I think I can make an analogy with Italian movies here, there are often very cheesy moments in these films, and that the acting is often severly overdone. I guess it's a matter of some cultural elements that are somewhat "lost in translation" and that prevent me from getting into these movies in general.
I don't prentend to be an expert on Asian movies, but I have nonetheless seen 50 of these or so, since I like to keep updated and am still hoping I will be won over by these someday. And I have to say I have found some really interesting films from that part of the world (Dark Waters, Shutter, The Eye/The Eye 2), but that, in the majority, I did not particularly like movies like the Ringu and Ju-Hon movies, Pulse, etc.
Just my two cents on the subject...
