American versions are simply horrible. Don't do that to yourself

This is a rare case where the American remake is superior.

By whom? Critics, IMDb and RT users beg to differ. Most of the people who appreciate quality movies, to be exact

Another one who points to others to validate his opinion

Critics and IMDb would also beg to differ that the remake is "simply horrible", so there goes the crux of your argument.

I point to someone because you are so sure to claim the opposite, which is in this case unpopular opinion. 

Do I need to go into detailed review and point all the things which make Ringu a better movie to validate myself?

The American remake of the original was just glorious though, and took an amazing story and made it visually stunning. 

This is precisely where the American version surpasses the original. Yes, the Japanese version did it first and laid the groundwork for the others, but Verbinski turned it into a complete aural and visual powerhouse. The camerawork, the washed-out color grading, the subliminal sound design, the jittery score... Incredible.

Not to mention that Naomi Watts's 'Rachel' is a far more well-written and compelling lead than Nanako Matsushima's 'Reiko'.

I agree. 

 

Everyone else is entitled to their opinions, that is totally fine, but I personally don't base the quality of a movie off of what Rotten Tomatoes or iMBD says 

I have the ability to form an opinion myself, without the influence of others.

But you're obviously bad at reading and deducting the meaning of words for my opinion on those two movies has no relation to critics and other users on the internet

Yes. 

And while you are at it, you might as well watch the whole Rings trilogy. The third one (Rings) isn't a remake. It's a continuation of the series and gives more of the backstory on Samara. I had been waiting over 10 years for it!
