ROTTEN TOMATOES: Critical Consensus: “Ring Two” Bores, “Ice Princess” Charms Comments

Critical Consensus: “Ring Two” Bores, “Ice Princess” Charms

by Senh Duong | March 17, 2005

Summary

Sequels are not doing well this month as two weeks ago, critics gave a tepid response to "Be Cool," the sequel to "Get Shorty." This week, DreamWorks' "The Ring Two," the second sequel released this month, receives a similar response. As in the case with "The Pacifier" where it served as counter-programming to "Be Cool," Disney opens another family comedy, "Ice Princess," to compete with "Ring Two." However, unlike the week "Be Cool" was released, where it was not a matter of which film critics like more, but rather which they dislike the least, there is a fresh movie to choose from this week.

Ice Princess has dropped to 57% Rotten. Perhaps there is justice in the world.

Hehe...surprising that it's actually getting marginally good reviews.

The Ring Two isn't actually a remake of Ringu 2. I heard they used an entirely new plot for the American sequel.

Thank god it's made it into Rotten territory. A world where Ice Princess is rated higher than Robots is a world with no hope.
