Christian Science Monitor
Watts is wonderful, and the story's forsaken-child theme still has plenty of horrific power. - 70
The Hollywood Reporter
While nearly every shock comes at predictable moments, there is genuine ingenuity behind many, and the movie is surprisingly fresh for one made by a guy on his third go-round with the same material. - 63
Rolling Stone
You have to admire Nakata's skill at letting the dead run free while hinting that we may have more to fear from the living. With a braver step in that direction, this middling movie would ring more than box-office bells. - 60
Dallas Observer
The movie works while you watch it, with plenty of scares both sudden and psychological. - 50
Variety
Half-intriguing, half-tedious. - 50
Entertainment Weekly
The scariest thing in the not-scary-enough The Ring Two is the notion that even smart, attractive adults - yikes, even mothers - just never learn, either. - 50
Chicago Tribune
Despite some impressive technical achievements, it too looks like a movie with little reason for being. - 40
L.A. Weekly
Might have something interesting to say about cultural ambivalence by and toward the maternal impulse if only it had a spark of originality or verve.
