    I saw the hollywood version at the cinema yesterday, it was alright I guess. Think I jumped once because I wasn't paying attention and some dramatic sound played very loudly. Other points it was quite funny, :) Not really scary though and the characters were quite irritating. Plus some bits which didn't make any sense. As for it's title of the scariest movie of the year, well, ROFLMAO, :D.

    The subtitles are white.

    Ring 2 is mostly set in white rooms.

    Ring 2's actors mostly wear white clothes.

    Ring 2 makes knob-all sense the first few times you watch it.

    Im my opinion pretty good, aint seen the original but i am considering watching it.

    Please sum1 explain this 2 me...i h8 seeing a film and not fully understanding the ending :wallbash:

    Thankz

    Translated: The tape is the anger & rage of the girl materialised into solid form, her will is what is killing people & if it is like the original (movie) if you make a copy & show the tape to someone, that makes it so you are not under the curse anymore.

    Does that help? :p

    oh i love my japanese originals

    you do realise unfrtunately now the originals are gonna be harder to get hold of s the great unwashed will not have heared of the original or have nay interest in seeing it

    any move that is based on another move should have ti in big letters at the begining this movie is a complete remake so therefore will nto be as good as...............

    A lot of people seem to think the Korean version is best, but is very difficult to get hold of.

    Hollywood have been rehashing Japanese stuff for ages. Yojimbo and Seven Samurai anyone?

    Not like it's a bad thing, I'm just saying.

    :D
