    Default The Ring - The Remake

    I saw the original japanese a while back and now just saw the US version. Even thought I knew exactly what to expect, I loved it just as much. Anyone out there agree? I know a lot of diehards will call the original a classic and instantly strike down this remake thinking it won't compare at all. For once, Hollywood doesn't fuck it up. It's just as good.

    you gotta make copies and give it out to someone and that guy has to watch it and do the same, not explained at all in the movie.

    Ofcourse it should be different since everything that holywood touches turns into predictable garbage.

    Eager to see if that's not the case here though...

    what exacly was the girl in Ringu(the japanese one.)Since somebody metnioned that they tuned it down for the american version. I mean is she some kind a demon or some shit 'cause they don't really explain in the american version... they only say she ain't sleepin' at all.

    Just see the original. It's a masterpiece.

    I don't even know what you mean by "she's not sleeping at all".

    If you want to understand all about Ring then you should see also the prequel and secuel for the Ringu.
    If you want to watch those without spoiling then the right order will be Ringu 1->Ringu 0->Ringu 2.
    Ringu 0 will explain a lot and Ringu 2 will add some to it.
    The American Ring doesn't have exatly the same plot so i would rather watch the original ones.

    what did they change in the american one? Are you talking about the girl with the hair or what? She was the one with super killing ability in the japanese one.

    I think some of you are mistaking with Ring (original) with The Ring Lassen (sp?). If you thought the oringal ring sucked you've probably watched Ring Lassen, which was released right after oringinal ring was released. I watched about every ring movies but the original is still superior to the rest. Ring Lassen sucked big time by the way

    in the remake, did they show the girl climbing out of the well and out of the tv? that scene was the classic in the original.

    They don't have it in any american video stores. It's a foreign film so they might have it at foriegn video stores or try the internet.

    Whats Ring Lassen? How many Ring movies are there??

    AFAIK, there's Ring 0, Ringu, Ring 2, the Korean remake, and now the American remake.

    what if you watch it on a tv in your car....can she get the private cell number? if not then it's not really fair to die in 7 days. What if you watch it in america then go to europe? can she compensate for the difference between the pal and ntsc formats? Or in 7 days what if you're not near a tv? can she come through other nearby electronics maybe the toaster?
