Inquiry about the beginning

So we're suppose to go with the idea that this kid, who watched the video and knows he has 7 days to live, waits until he has about 3 minutes to live, to show it to someone? Then leaves the room so he CANNOT ensure that she watches it?

Yeah I was kinda done then. But I watched it anyway, and it gets dumber.

-The watch-the-tape-and-die-in-7-days is abandoned for I-can-now-possess-you crap.
-Rachel is able to get easily into the ambulance to view the body.
-Aidan/Samara kills a Dr and walks out of a hospital without anyone noticing.
-Rachel conveniently turns over the right rock to find a key to get into a house.
-Max doesn't question how Aiden got to his house.
-Did Samara/Aiden kill Max then take him to the truck?

I watched both movies back-to-back. The first one, wasn't bad. This one was a complete joke. Does Rachel wonder why she has a child that NEVER smiles? Displays no emotion? I'm not sure why that was even written into the movie. His disposition doesn't do anything to make any difference in the story. It would've been more interesting with a child that was full of of robust emotion. That would've made the role better. Instead, we get some dry little fool who calls his mother by her actual name for some dumb reason.
