The Ring 2 is kindof an interesting situation. People here either loved it or hated it, and most people don't like even the idea of remaking Asian horror movies (or any horror movie). And this is a sequel to a remake, and people don't like sequels.
BUT, this has the same director as the original Ringu. "But Sam, The Grudge had the Japanese director, too, and that sucked!" Stimmt das, Imaginary Quote Person, but The Grudge was a remake. The Ring 2 is not a remake of Ringu 2, it's its own movie...sortof. So it's a sequel to a remake of a movie that had a sequel, but this sequel isn't a remake of that sequel, and this sequel has the same director of the original movie. I'm not even going to get into the book or the TV movie. Basically, it's not a remake and it has the original Japanese director, so it has a better chance of being really good than people might think.

Damn right, I totally agree. I posted a similar thread in the upcoming movies section about The Ring 2 making the same point. I like that Ring 2 is being done by Nakata, because Ringu kicked ass. But Ju On got remade into that horrible horrible film (why Raimi, WHY would you produce that?)
I dunno, America is going down that lonely road of remaking foreign films and turning them into trash.
