77 - Many people (critics and viewers alike) felt the American remake of The Ring was a rare case of the remake being better. I kind of agree. I prefer the The Ring over Ringu, but only slightly.
"grab a crazy japanese cult film that no one knows about"
This was actually a very popular movie, from what I understand."hire fancy actors"
Who in the American version was 'fancy'?"and add some zippy effects"
The American version was no more effects-laden than the original, really."try to push it as an orignal hollywood blockbuster"
I don't remember them ever trying to push this as an original. It was common knowledge from the beginning that it was based on a Japanese movie. As a matter of fact, the DVD of The Ring has a trailer on it for Ringu.
