you know, dayv, i have to admit, i've seen ringu 2 a couple years back. not a big fan. way too complicated. not that i couldn't understand it, just that if you drone out for about 5 minutes, you lose track of the whole movie. i give it 2 out of 4 stars.
now if you want to see a great japanese film, check out mibu gishiden. 5 out of 4 stars!
