X MARKS THE SOFT SPOT
By hunkydomste (48 reviews) from Liverpool , 07 Aug 2008[Highly rated reviewer]
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.

(302)Return of two old friends
By RJNeb2 (922 reviews) from London , 20 Nov 2012The return of Mulder and Scully - reluctantly, at least for them - finds the former FBI agents recalled to help out on a case involving missing limbs found in the snow by a psychic paedophile priest. Lots of snow and philosophical debate mark this out as a more cerebral investigation with both agents being forced to question their own beliefs. Possibly not the most exciting case the two have worked on but it's very nice to have them back.- Was this review helpful to you?

I want to Believe....
By Brighouse1971 (155 reviews) from Brighouse, WY , 26 Nov 2011...in God this time!
It is a crime drama after the original TV series but with a somewhat religious twist.
Its not really like the series but still watchable for one afternoon. But without any real-life shock effects or paranormal activity.
Mainly its about believing in God over all.- Was this review helpful to you?

Not how I remembered it
By a customer , 01 May 2011I only rented this as I was thinking about buying the box set - and didn't even know it existed. I thought Billy Connelly was a great character but I thought the film was too long for the amount of story they had. It had some good scenes but the angst between Mulder and Sculley was somehow too much. And I don't remember the Mulder character as so boring. Should have bought the box set and watched the series in the hey day after all.- Was this review helpful to you?
