I was skeptical to Miikes entry to the ringu craze and this is a sequel made by an unknown director. No surprise then that this doesn't hold up.
The plot is a mystery to me and the buildup is weird. After jumping right into the action from the beginning with many "accidents" connected loosely through a particular ring tone it uses most part of the movie to explain the previous one (a often used tactic in sequels) and ends up boring in the end. Not that it was too exciting in the first place.
The taiwanese-Japanese sounded funny though (language wise). I wonder what the kids feel about the ring-tone, if they would be terrified to hear it now even after this dread.
