The Hollywood Reporter John DeFore
Rings finds a couple of nice, if inconsequential, little chills.

Los Angeles Times Justin Chang
At no point does the movie manage even a single sequence of sustained tension, or a frisson of genuine terror.

TheWrap Robert Abele
Horror films that backstory the audience to death lose all hope of mining what's eerie and unsettling about the unknown, and Rings is a perfect example: it doesn't so much spread its familiar myth as dilute it.

Consequence of Sound Randall Colburn
Rings is too beholden with current trends to truly exploit the potential it displays in its early going.

Slant Magazine Chuck Bowen
Rings is unsure as to whether it's a sequel to the other entries in the series or a contemporary reboot.

More wearying than frightening, Rings is a total non-starter.

Time Out London Tom Huddleston
Imagine simultaneously eating wallpaper paste, listening to Coldplay and watching the entire 'Da Vinci Code' trilogy back to back and you'll have some idea how grindingly tedious the experience of watching Rings becomes.

Variety Owen Gleiberman
The movie, which will be lucky to eke out a weekend's worth of business, isn't scary, it isn't awesome, and it doesn't nudge you to think of technology in a new way. But it does make you wish that you could rewind those two hours, or maybe just erase them.

New York Daily News Edward Douglas
Filmmaker F. Javier Gutiérrez really doesn't have a lot to work with beyond a flimsy story, weak script and characters you'll have a hard time caring about.

Indiewire Eric Kohn
Rings never solidifies into one of kind movie, cramming a handful of possibilities into its bloated running time.
