And I'm sure this is only the beginning since this Reviewer seems to echo what I've been saying all along and that's Japanese Horror has been overdone to death and this movie and review seems to reflect just that..

i don't think it will affect the B.O. results. it still will be doing great, because lots of audiences waiting to see this movie.

Well if too many bad reviews begin to surface for this movie, it could hurt it's box office, especially if it's anything like this Reviewer described it as with basically being the same movie all over again, just a different location..

People love movies that are more of the same.

It's why movies like 2 Fast 2 Furious are able to make over $100M.

BKB...

White Noise had a 13% on RT back in January. That didn't affect it's box office at all.

Come on now ...

http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/1116705-ring/

The first installment only had 73% positive with 44 negative reviews. We will use that as the medium and see if Ring 2 can come close. If it can get over 65% I will be excited.

Not to mention the person admitts they didnt like the first one either.

I don't blame him.. The 1st one did suck and was highly overrated in terms of it's so called scariness, something of which it wasn't..

What?? 100 Million worldwide??

the reviews won't effect it the first weekend but it will the rest of it's run.

lol so no $100 mill for R2. :down:

Teenagers are going to make up a VERY large chunk of TR2's audience, and teenagers don't give a damn about reviews, even good reviews, since most teenagers don't even bother reading any.

And 2 Fast 2 Furious did like 140 million in America, BKB.

Damn. And to think, I had hopes of a 100% Rotten Tomatoes rating. I guess I should post a review-by-review account of Amityville Horror when it starts having press screenings.

most teens can't read worth a damn.

Please do cause I guarantee that Amityville will receive far better reviews and a higher rating than the rehash known as The RING II will and were already off and running with the 1st bad review of it which serves to prove that Japanese Horror is being beaten to death far too much and they should lay off for awhile..

Amityville could double Texas Chainsaw Massacre's Rotten Tomatoes rating and still wouldn't touch the original Ring. Expect Ring Two to end up in the 40-50% range.

Will see about that.. I think your far underestimating this movie and giving far too much credit for a rehash movie like the RING II which is identical to the 1st movie and from the looks of this 1st bad review, I'd say I'm spot on with that....

Oh please. There's also a poster just below that who says he liked the film just as much as the original. Though you conveniently forgot to mention that in the original post.

Gee that's funny.. I just went to that link and checked all 4 of those reviews and not one of them said they loved it as much as the original and if anything, they said it's been done to death..

Hmmm, let's see:

"Yeah.
Well, I'm expecting a lot of negative reviews on this movie simply because this genre has been done to death.

I'm still gonna see it, though, and I hope it does extremely well".



"This review might be a little harsh. I was not a huge fan of the first Ring, I thought it was great in some parts and not so great in others.With that being said, it was a fun movie to watch. I recently saw Ring 2, and would say that I had similar feelings as the first one. It had some ridiculus parts, but all in all it was a fun movie to watch. It had me squirming in a few parts. The Stag scene was fantastic. Basically if you liked Ring, you will probably like Ring 2. It is a little slower and a little more "psychological" but at least they didn't just redo the first one over again.

No academy awards (unless it is compared to Constantine, which would make this movie look like Citizen Kane in comparison) but if you enjoy horror movies this one is okay. Definetely better than some of the recent "Boogeyman" "Darkness" type movies".






Since nearly every horror movie to come out since The Ring has been trashed by the critics, I'm beginning to feel much less affected by the negative reviews in general. It just seems that a lot of critics don't appreciate the genre much at all and I've heard some of them complain about the recent onslaught of horror films, like they're just getting in the way of them seeing all the "serious films". A very dismissive attitude.

And I certainly don't think that everything that's come out since The Ring has been gold, necessarily, but at least these Japanese remakes are bringing something a little new to the table. Well, new to us, anyway.

Honestly, the spooky ghost chick thing is getting a little old, but I watch waaaay too many Asian horror films. The most recent one that I enjoyed was a Thai movie called "Shutter". Bet yer bottom dollar that one's going to be remade within the next couple years.

I seriously wonder how the remake of Dark Water will do. I really enjoyed the original. It might do a little better with the critics because it has a lot more character development and slow-building drama than The Ring and a touching mother/daughter story at the heart of it.

Yeah, looks like everyone's embracing it.. :mrgreen:

I don't think The Ring was successful because its mixed reviews. I think it was successful because it had excellent word of mouth, and everybody was talking about it. I think the same pattern will follow with the sequel, regardless of the reviews.

You could use a new pair of reading glasses, BKB.

My glasses are fine.. It says "It had some Ridiculous Parts, it's slower and if you like The RING, you'll like this to", which indicates to me that if you didn't like The RING, then chances are this will suck just as bad..

Make up your mind BKB.

First everyone at RT is full of shit, then you trust them for the reviews only you want to hear, than critics mean nothing, but you tout a poor RT rating as totally negative to movies?

Pick one and go with it. I'm tired of your 'only hearing what you want to hear' bullshit.

Which is good, since Ring was a word-of-mouth hit. You don't have a nearly 10x multiplier unless people like your movie.

Someone got served! =D>

RT is full of shit and there full of shit for Banning me and a poor RT Rating is totally negative to movies you fool.. And it's not "Me hearing what I want to hear" if I'm posting it from someone elses mouth, someone elses review who saw the movie, so put that in your pipe and smoke it young man.. Don't make me bust you across the mouth at the EPISODE III screening this summer which is coming up really quick.. [-X

Yeah?? Who?? Who got served??? How did I get served for telling it like it is??? I posted the review, the reviewer said it was the same old same old as the 1st RING and it's a hard pill to swallow, especially for Insomniacdude..
