I am a fan of The Ring and was, unfortunately, VERY disappointed by this sequel. I was expecting there to be more continuity between this movie and the first and was hoping for more info. about Samara's life, death and motives. Instead, I found the storyline difficult to follow and very similar to the movie Dark Water. [If you don't already know, Dark Water, The Ring, The Ring Two and The Grudge were all created by the same people. Although I believe there are storyline similarities between all 4 movies this one just felt like they ran out of ideas...there was NOTHING unique about it]. Many of the ideas/characters that were introduced during the movie were just dropped by the end and forgotten about. For example, there is a BIZARRE scene in which Rachel and Aiden are (literally) attacked by a herd of deer while driving down the road (sounds kind of far fetched, doesn't it???). Later Rachel finds numerous deer antlers in the basement of the old Morgan estate, but no true link between the events is ever established or explained. Worst of all there were some big differences in the "rules" between the first movie and this sequel. What we were led to believe about Samara and how she operates in the first movie just doesn't hold true in the sequel. I believe the only real continuity between the two films is the main characters. Everything else just fell short for me and the bizarreness of some of the scenes (like the attacking deer) kept it from being scary.Read full review
