Critics Consensus

Rings may offer ardent fans of the franchise a few threadbare thrills, but for everyone else, it may feel like an endless loop of muddled mythology and rehashed plot points.

Overall, RINGS is sadly disappointing.

1/5

The cursed video now looks like an experimental film made by somebody who has watched more Marilyn Manson videos than Stan Brackhage pieces. It does, however, provide clues to a mystery that really isn't worth solving.

0.5/5

The characters are grossly incompetent, in addition to being vapid, and devoid of common sense. They each deserved what they get because each death meant the film was closer to ending.

Can a horror movie that isn't scary still be called a horror movie?

Rings is a special kind of awful. It's not scary, or thrilling, or suspenseful, or remotely interesting. It's a complete drag of a movie.

4.1/10 Bad Rings Sequel Leonard from big bang is in it but the plot is slow and unscary. Too much new lore and not enough creepiness or Samara

I can't really talk about anything in this movie because it's non-existent. There's really no plot and people play with the ring tape now like it's a bad trend or something? What the hell. Just watch the first The ring and you won't be disappointed, skip this atrocity at all costs. PS ending is supposed to be a twist "Samara will be reborn through some random girl" hooray for nonsense.

No es tan buena como la 2 pero sinceramente no es mala la trama es buena lo que supongo que no le gusto a varios es el hecho que la prota es medio acosadora al inicio pero tenia buenas intenciones y eso es lo que cuenta.
