To me, this movie is perfection.

Good movie but grossly overrated

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Is it just me, or isn't the whole point of doing a versus movie to give the audience what they want, an entertaining versus-movie?And yet they did same mistake that many other versus movies has made? eg. Batman vs. Superman, Mummy vs, Frankenstein etc. A long movie where you just kinda sit around and wait the entire movie until the "versus" appears, then they give you barely 1 minute of the actuall versus- scene, then the end. What a waste of time.This movie is not like Alien vs. Predator or Freddy vs. Jason, which is how a versus movie should be. If you think you're in for a "fight of the year" you're wrong. The fight itself lasted about 45 seconds in total. Just fast forward to it if you want to se it imo, don't waste your time watching the entire movie.

So the Ring versus the Grudge? It may sound insane - well to be honest it kind of is. And the makers of this knew exactly that this was just too weird. And that's why this is not just horror, but also comedy. And it's intentional for sure. Of course that means that purists, who like their horror straight will have issues with the movie. But if you don't mind the fun stuff in between, dive into this.It's a weird experience and while it's not really necessary to have seen all the other movies that came before this, a little bit of knowledge will help you enjoy this a bit more. It does seem a bit muddled and you may lose track of certain things, what with this combining "myths" and all. But just the fact they did this is great. It's really a fun movie overall

Being a massive fan of the 'Ring' series, this was a must watch. I found out about it when my Japanese friend and I were googling pictures of J-Horror, and this front cover came up. Recognising Sadako, I asked my friend what the title was (as I was unable to read the kanji). She said it was the name of two ladies. Later, I did some research to find the other name was 'Kayako', so I gave the movie a watch. Overall, it was actually quite entertaining. The new interpretation of the cursed video was excellent, and the design of Kayako's house was well done. The two exorcists were also well- portrayed (particularly Kyozo who was played by the same guy who portrayed Kiriyama in 'Battle Royale'. Really wish he was in more movies - an exceptional actor who always does unique and interesting portrayals of his characters). The biggest let-down of the movie was the ending. Worthwhile watching though.

Not bad at all. Fans of Japanese horror should be satisfied. To say the truth, I didn't expect anything good. The latest movies about Kayako were so-so, and the latest movies about Sadako were even worse. I thought the Japanese had lost their fantasy, the theme had been completely explored. And here is this promise – Sadako vs Kayako. Must be a silly trash. I was pleasantly surprised. The Japanese produced a serious well-built film. Of course, I don't mean that it's like the original "Ringu". From the point of view of the style it's more like "The Grudge" franchise – a horror with frequent scary scenes. Apart from it, as it often happens in Japanese films, there are some interesting original ideas, the main heroines are cute (I mean the girls that get cursed, not the onryos (this type of Japanese ghosts)). The fight between Kayako and Sadako is also good. Only it's too short. Minuses. First of all, there are "minuses" – I mean things that narrow-minded people dislike in Japanese movies. It has one static atmosphere, perhaps slowly or evenly paced. I so understand that some people find it boring, as other Japanese films are often criticised for it. Also some moments can seem strange to a western viewer. So I think that those who don't typically like Japanese horror movies, would not like this one. If to add some objective criticism, there is little new in the film. It doesn't repeat one to one moments from the previous films, and yet the onryos do the same familiar tricks. I wonder if there will be a sequel. The film has an unexpected ending, which may lead to new and interesting beginning.
