Props to STN on the speed of this release, video is better than the Robots, they internal'd last week. sound is the same from the handicapable sound jack. Man I miss DTS

video is very dark and grainy. I figure it is just dark because of the actual movie; but makes it hard to see. Audio isn't bad definitely direct but not DTS.

I will pass on this release but props again for the speed.

5/7/?

Posted by XAVeRY on 03-19-2005 10:49 PM:

not worth the effort...

code:
The.Ring.Two.TS-STN got released 20m 26s ago [NUKED] audio.sounds.horrible.not.direct [ UNKNOWN / STN ]

seems like DTS isn't going to be back soon

Yup until something is coded for the new .aue files this is how DTS is going to sound cause it's jacked audio

And the sheep on sites that are going to nuke it for " bad sound " are just going to drive the groups away and have them say okay screw it tired of getting nuked why bother and then people with complain i guess nobody remembers the old days of TS and jacked audio .. please tell your mommies and daddies to take back the computer they got you for christmas go outside and play


Posted by booboo32 on 03-19-2005 11:01 PM:

not to clever,wouldnt want to spoil the movie by watching this version.will wait for better.


Posted by FRANK!WHITE on 03-19-2005 11:01 PM:

sound is bad pic is washed out. 4/3/7


Posted by VidaGuerra on 03-19-2005 11:05 PM:

Nuked wait for a differn't release 4/3/x


Posted by thomasball on 03-19-2005 11:07 PM:

poor

poor quality, looks washed out and audio is poor.

Oh, and the retaliation poem at SOASIN for stealing their audio was lame as well! At least they can come up with decent video quality!

4/4/?

I saw this AUTO-Nuked several places, and all I can say is that is a crap sheep nuke. The AUDIO is DIRECT, probally DIRECT from the HANDICAP/HEARING IMPAIRED JACKS. Just because it isn't DTS doesn't mean it isn't DIRECT. Spoiled ASS People and their stupid nukes!

Sorry for the rant and this was not a flame aimed at XAVeRY.. just a rant about the scene currently...


Posted by XAVeRY on 03-19-2005 11:12 PM:

you're right
it definetely IS an unfair nuke...the definition of a telesync says that it's a cam with direct audio - but nobody said that it's gotta be crystal clear DTS
should be unnuked

went to see in theatre yesterday, wasn't bad wasn't great, just ok


Posted by MarketMakerz on 03-20-2005 12:19 AM:

The.Ring.Two.TS-STN
video = not good, but not un-watchable; its dark, grainy, snowy, same style as the Robots rls few days ago, but darker and a bit better.
audio= constant soft static; just during the opening scene...as the initial music comes in...its ok, then once the bass kicks in, huge static vibrations (imagine the sound of a cracking fire).

Rest of the film...unknown quality.

During the first few minutes, huge problem:
the mom and the kid are in a quiet scene at the kitchen table. Mom has a shirt and vest on; then thump, the sound of someone turning off a button; audio goes completely dead-silent for ~1min 20 secs; video continues on and they are still in the kitchen; then hard-break, audio is back; it jumps to a different scene; where the mom has a coat on and is inside a dark garage

(unknown number of minutes missing there :-(


Posted by davey_fl on 03-20-2005 12:35 AM:

seriously this rlz quality bites donkey cock, but good job getting it out so quickly


Posted by booboo32 on 03-20-2005 12:45 AM:

think this man saya it all

vid=4
audio=3


Posted by Heph on 03-20-2005 12:54 AM:

4/4/5

Several probs with this rls as stated .. there won't be alot of
good dts out fast until someone cracks these .aue dts2 files.
Until then it's play on HW and re-capture or find a source like a
handicap jack.

yea a better release than usual from stn good job for the bit improvement! sound goes dead at minute 8 sec 13 for about 1 minute and you can hear the audio wires being put back it sounds pretty loud. There is a scene missing but its like 1 1/2 minutes i think in that time sequence same as when the audio turns off, i saw it yesterday opening day so im guessing its that long so definately a direct source of audio. A very unfair nuke but probably the nukers hang out with saosin or oracle haha!


Posted by concius on 03-20-2005 01:26 AM:

from sample

some what anticipating this movie for the scare factor. audio has a high hiss/crackle to it. video is grainy and rather dark.
again from the sample, id wait for a better rls. nice work STN on the quick release.

video 3.0
audio 2.0
movie ?


Posted by Puma on 03-20-2005 01:52 AM:

at frame 14697/8 till frame 17150 there is absolutely no sound, as was mentioned before..... it should be nuked for this reason, not for the stupid "not direct" reason on some sites..... anyhow other than that, my review on it

video, too birght, not enough saturation, not enough contrast, and quite grainy, but by no means unwatchable... for vcd ts i give it a 6

audio, other than missing part(s), it has a constant hum, and the background noises/soundtrack are, for some reason, much louder than the dialog, which doesn't seem right to me, but okay i guess.... 5

movie, umm... i think i'm gunna skip this one, didn't much care for the first, so i don't think the second will do me any better....

on the movie note, wasn't the ring (1) promoted as "the last movie you'll ever watch"??? so, what's this, the first movie you'll ever watch.... dead.....

6/4/8


Posted by hackteck on 03-20-2005 03:51 AM:

3/3/? audio is missing like previous members stated video is very subpar and audio isnt much better quick release but i'll holdout for a better one


Posted by BLUE-NEO on 03-20-2005 04:12 AM:

hate to say it...this is crap, pure crap, the video is horrible on night scenes or dark areas. you can't see anything you have to guess whats there. Audio is clear, during day scenes its actually fine.
wait for a better release considering majority of the film will be at night. not day.

5/7/?

honestly...video is not as bad as people wanna make it out to be..they complain when its too dark and complain when its too light...hell some of yall give dvd quality a 7 for video...
audio has some "interuptions" and some feedback or crackling...but its better than hearing people laughing or screaming...its a cam people! you cant make chicken salad out of chicken shit.
but the major problem is the nearly 3 minutes skipped in movie as well as the 1+ minutes of missing audio.
all together:

video -6
audio -7 ( not counting missing segment)
movie-4
typical sequal never living up to the original.


Posted by HellStorm on 03-20-2005 04:56 AM:

3/5/?

Video is bearable and audio is good for whats to be expected from the speed of relaese. The video on the otherhand is dark (prob dark movie on top of it as mentioned before) but I do expect a little more quality on the video even for the speed. But hey I give props on the speed!


Posted by Pickles on 03-20-2005 05:26 AM:

I can tolerate almost anything but this isn't one of them. Audio is completely missing in parts and video is bad as well. I tried to sit through it but I couldn't. That isn't a reason to give this release 2's and 3's though. Better luck next time STN

A 6
V 5
M ? didn't watch it all


Posted by Bubbalynch on 03-20-2005 06:50 AM:

Lets call it what it is shall we....CRAP. all the way around. Its been explained as to why several times already. Don't waste time or b/w on this and may god have mercy on its poor soul.....


Posted by jugsta on 03-20-2005 08:12 AM:

update:
Runtime according to IMDB: USA:111 min

rip runtime 100 min 9 seconds.

Posted by inc2k1968 on 03-20-2005 08:55 AM:

5/3/8.5

Video: what you can see is f'ed

Sound: what you can hear is worse

Movie: didnt watch but 9 minutes.


Sound went by by and so should this release, not STN's best work.

Thanks for the release but, I'll wait until somebody releases a better copy.

UPDATE:

Went and dropped a dime ($5 really) and seen it on the silver screen.

Pretty good movie. A little weird on the writing part and they used the dts sound for some of the scares so it needs to be heard to get the full effect of the movie IMO.

P.S.
I still have no fricken ideal what is so darn scary to leave them impression on peeps faces

Maybe if there is a 3 they will touch on that.
They did expand the story line somewhat in 2 though.


Peace!

Actually this is already possible. It just depends on how fast they are able to get the dts discs


Posted by Neversoft on 03-20-2005 11:03 AM:

Video: 5 (Contrast is off, not particularly dark, just no detail. Blacks appear grey. Slightly grainy and washed out too. Watchable, if you HAVE to see it now)

Audio: 5 (Direct but hollow. Similar criticisms to the video - it's ok but lacks definition)

Overall: Dunno. Not watched the movie, just the sample. Personally I'm giving this one a miss.

Thumbs down The.Ring.Two.TS-STN

first post so here goes
the nuke in my opinion is for wrong reason audio tho bad is direct
video grainy,washed out,missing scenes .>>4
audio hissy,crackly,direct but very poor .>> 3
movie hard to judge from watchin this release tho dont think it was as good as ring 1 .>> 6
above based on watchin full release <in my humble opinion i cant see how ppl can comment on a release based only on sample>

::EDIT:: Why are samples included in releases then? Please, shush! - Neversoft::


Posted by pvt_klaas on 03-20-2005 04:34 PM:

it seems that there's some disagreement between groups more and more groups claim in their nfos that groups are losing their honor, their urge to quality. First centropy in their oceans 12 Nfo, now this group...
We can't blaim them...
to much groups, to much silver groups, to much bad releases lately.

Time for a cleanup when U ask me...


Posted by drMabuse on 03-20-2005 05:49 PM:

Ive watched the sample and a few rars only so far but I really dont think its as bad as some are saying. Yes its a bit pale and a bit grainy but nothing too bad and contrast can easily be altered. OK, audio isnt DTS but I can hear anything and playing it back on tv theres no noticeable hiss. Now if someone is saying there are audio blanks then thats another issue as is missng scenes but I think peeps are getting a way bit too picky these days. This happens every year following screener season and we've been spoiled wiht some nice TC's too..


Posted by bigbug41 on 03-20-2005 06:34 PM:

No Nuke Here

Props to the guys for not jumping the gun like the other websites that nuked it

Pic is washed out sound is manageable but far far from great
All around a so so release

4.5/5/4


Posted by youwingers on 03-20-2005 08:19 PM:

ring 2

poor ok if ur desperate !!!!

Nuff said wait for a SVCD TS or even TC to drop. This movie was excellent but this copy is straight up junk. However it is watchable so i give PROPS to STN on their speed of this release!!


5.5/6/9 Go See it in the Theatres. Its damn creepy and Cool!!


Posted by qwertyu on 03-20-2005 10:08 PM:

Well well STN; nice try

Audio: 4 Audio is hollow
Video: 5 Colors are washed
Movie: 8


Posted by JonBlaze87 on 03-20-2005 11:17 PM:

why do u ppl download this crap quality. or do u just go by what u have heard and pretend that u've seen the release????


Posted by Suplyndmnd on 03-21-2005 12:29 AM:

Not seen the movie but...

A retaliation poem by me

Roses may be Red
Saosin's may be blue
But overall, they've released
better shit than you


Posted by Da Postman on 03-21-2005 12:43 AM:

The video is washed and in some of the dark places, it's dark. Nothing already said there. I do feel the rating deserves better. I've seen cams get higher scores compared to the same quality and with cam sound. If you want it, download just that simple.

V-6
A-6.5
M-6


Posted by Bram on 03-21-2005 02:52 AM:

From sample looks to be ok, but imo we have been spoilt by Saosin recently with some of the releases, they have been pretty decent and people should remember that. This looks easily watchable and the sound is fine which tends to ruin the movie for me, not so much the video. Will get til a better release comes along then will probably get that too

V=6
Audio=5
Movie=not yet watched but will

Bit of a wasted download for me... to be fair, I've seen worse and it didn't look unwatchable but I turned it off pretty much straight away. Thats mainly because for me, the quality was bad enough to spoil the atmosphere, but then I am kinda picky. Although definatly well done for getting it out quickly. I just need to learn to be more patient if I'm gonna be fussy!

Posted by dank! on 03-22-2005 02:09 AM:

This is by NO MEANS 5.x for video. Washed out colors and contrast. Blurry too.

Audio on the other hand other than the 2 small (less than a minute each) gaps, is pretty decent, and gets MUCH better after the first disconnection.

As stated, about 2 min missing in the beginning, not a big deal as this movie has no linear plot line anyhow. Better than the first it isn't, but its not bad for the kind of flick it is.

WTF tho, wasn't that biatch making copies at the end of the 1st ring? why the fuck would she be suprised that people are watching it? doesn't make alot of sense....


Posted by ryan- on 04-03-2005 03:52 PM:

um.. the movie doesnt look very good, it looks like an attempt to keep a series going just to make more money.. but w/e video is not too shabby - 7
audio - 5 not good from what i remember
movie- not watchin it ...
