    X MARKS THE SOFT SPOT

    First of all, if you are not a fan of the X-Files, save yourself time and money- do not bother with 'I Want To Believe'.

    This is, despite the 'anyone can go and watch it' and the self-containment of this- lets be honest- feature length episode, a nostalgic Mulder and Scully fest for those who love and miss them. I loved it, but I daresay it would be not so much fun if not wasted on X-Files newbies or naysayers.

    The story is intriguing enough with its twists and turns and hmmms, and is firmly lodged in the 'freak of the week' half of the X-Files world, rather than the lenghty 'Mythology' (Aliens, Conspiracy etc.).

    It is nice to see that Duchovny and Anderson have not lost their chemistry and are, despite their very different acting careers, able to reprise their iconic roles as Mulder and Scully respectively so very easily and naturally.

    Billy Connolly surprises with his truly creepy performance as a religious man who has fallen from grace, while Amanda Peet also supports very ably as the young FBI agent that calls on good old Foxy for help with a 'spooky' case.

    An enjoyable romp through the familiar world of the unknown that will humour loyal fans, but leave the rest of the crowd wondering what all the fuss is/was about.

    Disappointing

    Big fan of the first few series, and first movie was decent.

    This is a monumental disappointment. Sure, it's nice to see Mulder & Scully back together, but the storyline is worse than 90% of the standalone episodes in early series of the X-Files, so there is little to hold the interest here.

    Fox (the studio) need to work harder on adapting their successful TV shows, what with this and the lacklustre Simpsons movie to their name so far. Makes me happy that they decided against a 24 movie if they put such little effort into them.

    Avoid.

    Film fans sceptical about X-Files

    • 06 Aug 2008

    The new X-Files movie has failed to win over cinemagoers in the UK, opening at number four at the box office. David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson return as agents Mulder and Scully in The X-Files: I Want To Believe, which raked in £887,209 during its first three days of release. After stalling at number four, Anderson said its similar performance across the pond was due to the huge hype surrounding The Dark Knight. Speaking to the BBC at the film's premiere in London last week, she said: &q Read more
