Parkesy:
My review for "The Ring".
I was really disappointed by this movie. I'd seen the ad and reviews that had the picture of a well with something just starting to climb over the top of it, and it looked really creepy and cool. So perhaps I went in with my hopes too high.
The opening scene of the movie showed real potential, but then I think it progressively lost it. The characters were just not really believable, and they made leaps in logic that people just wouldn't make. Sure it's a movie and you have to suspend disbelief but contrast it to something like the Sixth Sense and you can see what I mean (the way the mum and child interact in that movie is quite believable). Other little annoying things too like they go into a place that's been abandoned for years (trying not to give plot away here) and there's already a light switched on. How long was it supposed to have been on for? And the heroine is trying to locate a certain landmark from a picture alone (ok it's a lighthouse) and she looks up the something like the Bumper Book Of American Lighthouses and golly gee it's in there from the exact same angle so she can identify it.
It had it's moments but overall I'm giving it a HATE!
