From the reviews I had read, I expected
The Ring to be good. People were saying it was the best in its genre since
The Sixth Sense. One IMDB user writes, “Never have I seen a film that has affected me so.” I found it
boring, though thankfully it didn’t drag on as long as the similarly engaging
Fellowship of the Ring. David Dorfman’s precocious “Aiden” was entertaining, but the parents didn’t live up to their billing. Brian Cox has been in far better films, like
Rushmore and
Manhunter.
