RING 2
Poop.
Really wanted to like Ring 2.It'z gotz some good momentz,but it contradictz the first film,adds spooky chittering noises when Samara pops up cuz it worked in Juon,so it must work here(pretty soon all the dead wet long black haired ghostie girlz will all have thier own trademark spooky sound),bringz up stuff that's never used or explained later and uses the very same story and visuals from Dark Water.And it'z got the same story structure of the first film,kinda like how every episode of The Incredible Hulk tv series alwayz followed the same structure-Bruce Banner movez into a new town,adopts a new name and career,something pisses him off-usually some criminal activity,Bruce turnz into the Hulk,turnz back in Bruce Banner,getz closer to solving the mystery,then turnz into the Hulk,beatz up the badguyz,turnz back into Banner,packs hiz bagz and takez the nearest bus outa town.
I just wonder how Banner managed to get so much work at the drop of a hat when he didn't have a home,used conjured up identities and most likely didn't use his social security number in the height of unemplyement in the 70'z.And he must've spent all his money on bus fairz,new clothes and burgers.
Anywayz,when the U.S.version of Dark Water comez out,it'll be hailed az a Ring 2 rip off.Naomi Watts haz a nice butt tho.
And Jennifer Connelly,who oddly enuff,once dated Bruce Banner,iz one fine hottie.Worth seein' Dark Water just for that!!
But,back to the movie,Ring 2 delvez deeper into the mystery of Samara,tracing her back to her wonderfully creepy mother(played wonderfully creepily by Sissy Spacek).Unfortunatly it doesn't add much to the story.Samara's revengeful spirit iz now lookin' for some motherly love by possessing Watt's Rachel's son,uncomfortably creepy Aiden.
The sense of dread from the first film iz gone,replaced by a,well,for lack of a better n' funnier line,a sense of lazy deja-vu.Samara this time iz CGI'd all over the place,and she doesn't even bother with her former mode of transportation-the cursed video tape.She shows up in bathtubs,park bathroomz and such,without her usual phone call of doom.
I guess the Japanese based horror filmz haz run it'z course.Straggly haired wet spooky girlz are all over the place now.
What I really wanna see iz Samara Vs.Sadako ala teh Zilla Vs.Godzilla scene in "Godzilla:Final Wars".
Mud wrestling of the dead girlz!!
Get in tha ring,sistahz!!
