Mjeteconer Just perfect...

MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Eric Stevenson This sequel features Mulder being called out of retirement to work with Scully again to investigate the disappearances of a couple of FBI agents. They come across a former priest claiming to be psychic who can help them. The main problem with this film is that there's just no feeling of a big epic adventure. I didn't like the original movie but that at least gave us a bigger story. This once again played like a long episode of the show and not a particularly good one at that. There's this weird subplot where Scully obsesses over the priest psychic saying, "Don't give up".I don't know why she's so confused by this line. The acting, honestly isn't bad and it is nice to see these characters again. This takes place after the end of the show and doesn't in any way feel like a big finale, which is probably the biggest disappointment. It doesn't add up to anything big. I guess I appreciate how they were trying to be more philosophical by talking about religion. It's not terrible, but it's mostly pointless. **

Eddie Cantillo The X-Files: I want To Believe (2008) Starring: David Duchovny, Gillian Anderson, Amanda Peet, Billy Connolly, and Alvin "Xzbit" Joner Directed By: Chris Carter Review To Find The Truth You Must Believe O my god, I don't understand why fans of the show don't like this movie because I love it! Most fans of the show don't like this movie because it wasn't about aliens. And for them I have one question, who gives a crap! The show was never about aliens it was about the paranormal in general hell we didn't even see an alien until like what season four or even the first movie, plus it mostly centered on Mulder and Scully's relationship investigating the paranormal. The film is about our two agents Mulder and Scully being called for help on the FBI for a case with a series of unexplained murders with a man who is having visions. Scully is being tested with both her faith in God and science because of this man as she tries to save a boy she is nursing and save Mulder. The film does have a plot that is very interesting, because it keeps you shrouded in mystery and you never what's coming until the end. I would also like to point that it was half of the time Scully who needed the saving throughout most of the show and in the last movie. I won't spoil the ending but it's a great send off to the case. The cast and the performances from this movie were utterly good and joining our famous agents we love so much were cast members Amanda Peet, Alvin "Xzbit" Joner and Billy Connolly who I found too be good as well, especially Billy and Amanda they stood out most when it came to new characters. The movie is more in tone with the "Monster of the Week" episodes from the series and those were always my favorite. One about a man who could control electrical items, fire, a kid who made his fears come to life and my favorite a fast food clerk who was an ancient creature eating brains. A big question is answered for both Mulder and Scully in this movie do they believe or do they just want to believe? I was introduced to The X-Files by a good review for this movie and when I found the show on Netflix and the chronological order of the movies and where they came in between the shows I watched it all just to get to here and it's been a blast. And I have grown to love all the characters from the series. Nothing more for me to say to say can't for the mini series, hope after that they make a third movie and screw the haters of this movie because I'm giving The X-Files: I Want To Believe a five out of five.

LeonLouisRicci Chris Carter took a Big Chance with this Late Arrival. The second Big Screen Version of His Beloved TV Sensation. The Chance He took was not well received from most Fans and Critics.What the Movie amounts to is a Stand-Alone Horror Story. Its Major Motivation is Belief, not in the "Mulder" Definition, X-clusively, but the Belief in God and or Science, or in Scully's case, both. The whole Story Revolves around Belief. Belief in "Psychic" Abilities, the Belief in the God of the Bible, the Belief in Science.The Truth is that the X-Files does not Really Need to be a Movie. It Works just Fine as a TV-Show, an Ongoing Mythological Series that can Travel Down many Unseen Highways and X-plore the Unknown, the Unknowable, and the Uncanny that Results in as many Unanswered Questions as Answers.This Film is Dark. OK Dark is Decidedly X-Files. After all, Flashlights are more than a Prop for Mulder and Scully. It's not only Dark Visually but Cerebrally and Philosophically as well. What with Pedophile Priests and "Horror Show" Gruesomeness.The Acceptance and Appreciation for the Movie for Fans is Determined by a Detachment from X-Pectations. A Pre-Conceived Notion that the Film will Hit all the Buttons and Tap into the Show's most Enjoyable and Fanciful Format. The Outsider Agents who must "Fight the Future" and Uncover the Truth that will set us all Free.If the Viewer can Warm Up to this Movie's Cold depiction of more Down to Earth Terrors, where the Monsters are all too Human, it can be Intriguing and Mysterious, Terrifying and Thought Provoking. It's an Adult Movie that sans Action for Drama and offers Relationships with the Spiritual and Humanistic Concerns, as opposed to X-travagant CGI.

electron avalanche Few days ago I finished watching the entire series 'The x files'. This show is a blatant manifestation of an excellent TV at it's best times with mediocre, yet still good, episodes from time to time. As a tradition I've had for quite a long time, watching the movie "The X Files: I Want To Believe" marked for me an end to the show I grew fond of. Yet, one thing bothered me immensely - The reviews were almost unanimous about the failure of Chris Carter to maintain the atmosphere of the show and to take our beloved characters to the big screens. After reading plenty of negative reviews regarding this film, I decided to examine it's value myself, and to be honest, I'm glad I gave it a try.The movie excelled in many aspects; the acting, as usual, was good; the plot unveiled to be a standalone thriller, one that had several great moment; the characters, though they were older, exhibited their same fundamental traits that made them as likable as they have always been; and the drama, although lacked in originality, added a nice touch to the 104 minutes film.As a fan of the show, I admit I'd preferred it to be a mythology related story, yet should I remind you that the series on it's entirety was scarcely focused on the magnificent mythology?Mostly, the show emphasized the unknown, the supernatural and the oddities of nature by 'monster of the week' episodes that each contained a new plot with new characters. In such a way, the show could delve into the numerous aspects of the main characters' personalities and tighten the relation between the characters and the viewers. Those episodes, even though they weren't as preferred as the mythology related ones, shaped the series and affected our perception of it. In a way, I can say "The X Files" was not about aliens nor about government conspiracies, but about implausible and unnatural cases, that within them contained those topics.This movie is a typical example of the classic stories that have been told by Chris Carter through the show, those stories that made many of us, the fans of the show, love it so much.
