First, I think The Ring is just OK and second I still got a point so I'm allowed to bring it up right.
It's unclear to me why a kinda out there premise would be a carte blanche for other aspects of the movie to be kinda implausible.

It's not, her visiting the insane asylum by her own and finding the necessary files real fast even though she's never been there directly impacts the plot itself therefore to me it's a bit more of an issue than the SW example you brought up. I really don't think it's in the same ballpark.
It’s like someone complaining about how the Anderson Wheeler 500 Nitro Express double rifle (IE Elephant gun) had zero recoil in Skyfall.
My only complaint, other than a slight cry when he just throws away a 25k rifle.
I wasn't convinced by the movie's plotting in that instance for reasons already explained. I don't think anyone's ever complained about sloppy plotting when talking about scenes in space not being devoid of sound. It'd be mighty boring if all we ever got was total silence.
That was insane. I'm not sure if it was good, great or just so bad it was good, but it will definitely stick in my brain for the next couple of days. Glad I saw this on the big screen.
I'm not one to praise a movie for being "so bad it's good" but in this case... it's so skillfully made in the last 30-40 minutes, that I cannot ignore that there's an enjoyment out of this.
It's just that it takes well over an hour to get there, and features some of the worst acting I've seen this year.
But it's funny that someone mentioned that park to the cliff's edge... because that's literally when the movie starts to get good.
Yeah we kind of loved this.
Not without its faults (nu metal musical score was awful), but it is so original, insane, and committed to its craziness.
Feels like a love letter to Argento and Fulci.
I just crack up thinking Wan was at home watching Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone on TV and he just went "hey, we can do this, but body horror" - with some giallo and ghost movie thrown into the mix. I personally thought it was cool as fuck, I don't mind a throwback to the '80s Horror movies with proper character development and out there concepts. And Wan has grown exponentially as a filmmaker. I look forward to anything new he does.
