Re-Ringing

I saw The Ring 2 tonight with Nathan, Granger and her mom. I quite enjoyed the first one so I had relatively high expectations here but they were not met.
The movie, despite dealing with content which is theoritically unique, felt extremely forumalic. It was easy to anticipate virtually every twist and the 'scares' (both the real ones and then we're going to try and make you think something scary is going to happen but it won't) were easy to see coming (you could even easily tell when it would be a real scare and when it would be a fake-out) and even when the scares came, they mostly generated a 'meh' reaction from me.
Sadly enough the thing I enjoyed most about the movie was laughing at some of the other people in the theatre who were apparently suffering from bad nerves or something and would scream at the slightest unexpected happening (not even a scary thing really, just something that wasn't expected).
I've now seen three movies this week (exluding MST3K); Cube Zero, Cursed and The Ring Two. Without having seen the movies I would have guessed that Ring Two would be ranked first or second while Cursed would be a distant third. I was actually pleasantly surprised by Cursed. It wasn't a great movie by any means but it was decent and I certainly enjoyed it more than tonight's film.
