Damn I must have missed this thread...RINGU in my opinion was more suspenseful then the Ring..liked the Ring but loved Ringu..:D

well i voted for the Ring being that i havent seen Ringu;)

i loved the ring. the phone rang just before i shut off the movie, no shit. made it a little creepyer for me.

I liked Ringu better simply because there were fewer plot holes. I'm sure we will see similar posts to this whey the "Eye" remake comes out.

If you don't reading and watching Ringu is, far scarier.
The Ring is good but Ringu is I think a classic

Ringu or The Ring?
 

I just watched Ringu last night and I thought it was better than it's American counterpart. Of course alot of the creepy scenes lost their effect due to the fact I had already seen a version of them. The story seemed to be a little more complete and left fewer questions than did the American version.


opinions?

Before I start - I really hated the american verison of the film... (I wached Ringu first.)

Then to the point...

I think The Ring is to much effects and Too much Over-explanation... It seems they always have to fing some explanation to the problems. In Ringu, even though You do not have a lot of questions when the movie is over, it hasn't solved anything! :)

Another thing is that I feel that The Ring has combined features from both Ringu and Dark Waters, wich makes it very confusing! I do not think that the water on the floor has anything at all to do in the movie (Given that it is a Telepathic Killer... OK, it is a well in the story, but the well is just a toomb, nothing more.)

Lastly, I will never be able to understand why every kid in an american movie have to know everything!!! In Ringu the kid is just a kid :)

To sum up.

I am the proud owner of Ringu, as well as Ringu 0 and Ringu 2. When it comes to tThe Ring, I do not think I would bring it home unless someone paid me to take it off their hands... :S

Anyway, this is just my opinion, and luckyly tastes are wildely diffrent in the world.
