Pros: Strong acting by Anderson and Connelly
Cons: Weak main plot
Summary: I was a big fan of the television series, "The X-Files". I liked the first movie that the same characters made. Just the mention of a new film from the crew excited me. While I don't believe the film was as bad as some of the reviews I've read, I was ... read more

Pros: A few good suspense scenes, interesting subjects
Cons: Incoherent plot, hodgepodge of subject matter, poor acting, silly ending
Summary: For those X…X-files fans who are still reliving the glory days of alien paranormal encounters, clever screen writing, and thrilling episodes…I have one thing to say about this movie: Stay Away! Chris Carter has written some amazing ... read more

Pros: Duchovny and Anderson still fill their roles with grace and conviction.
Cons: It's mostly little more than a long episode.
Summary: Seeing THE X-FILES: I WANT TO BELIEVE made me understand something that I find a little bit interesting. When we've gotten to know characters really well (for example, over the several year life of a TV series), we don't want to see them change and grow. ... read more

Pros: Mulder and Scully! And an interesting plot, supporting actors
Cons: A few too many plot holes and coincidences
Summary: I’ve been an X-Files fan since almost the beginning (with the same exception many fans have, of the last two seasons). The first film, Fight the Future, tied very heavily into the X-Files conspiracy mythology, and thus was probably hard to ... read more

Pros: Mulder and Scully find each other.
Cons: Mulder and Scully lose each other.
Summary: I am a dedicated X-Files fan. I have the DVD sets for all the TV shows (which I actually watch, from time to time, thank you), plus a spinoff show, and the first X-files movie. I have several books about the X-files I got on amazon.com. I have ... read more

Pros: mildly suspenseful
Cons: a pretty big fan of stating the obvious
Summary: I never watched much "X-Files" growing up but I can remember an episode here or there particularly one about a little boy's dead twin brother killing his family one by one or the one with Doug Hutchinson where he played a guy who ate people's livers then ... read more

Pros: The theater was air conditioned.
Cons: No 3-D glasses
Summary: “Don’t Give up.” I woke up yesterday morning with those three words bouncing around in my head. I had no idea what they meant but I had the sneaking suspicion that I would soon find out. Although I love movies (or “the cinema” ... read more

Pros: Excellent acting, cinematography and soundtrack.
Cons: After six years, the script is a letdown.
Summary: Disclosure: I'm a huge fan of the "X-Files" series--a multiple Emmy, Golden Globe, SAG, etc. winner. So yes, I'm predisposed to like and even defend the new movie, "The X-Files: I Want to Believe". Roger Ebert liked it very much, though it has been ... read more

Pros: Good shots and flowed pretty well.
Cons: Not alot of action.
Summary: It was great to see Scully and Mulder in action. However, I was expecting some alienation. But over all it flowed pretty well, if one considers the Frankenstien them as an xfile. Nice to see the two still in love with each other and finally sharing ... read more

Pros: Suspense,enigma of the unexplained, storyline, Duchovny.
Cons: A little more spicing up of everything missing perhaps?
Summary: Bravo! So finally FBI agents Mulder and Scully are back where they belong after a long hiatus. “X-Files- I want to believe” is the 2nd and much awaited sequel based on the 1993-2002s super hit Tele serial “The X-Files” where the central ... read more

Pros: No aliens. Mulder and Scully. Stand alone plot. Billy Connolly. Great performance by Anderson.
Cons: No aliens. Amanda Peet. Gruesome. May disappoint die-hard fans of the series.
Summary: Note: This review reveals a few things - though not too many - about the plot. If you don't want anything spoiled, don't read on. I really enjoyed the X-Files television series, at least for a little while. After the 3rd season, though, I lost ... read more

Pros: Mulder, Scully, Billy Connolly
Cons: Amanda Peet
Summary: As someone who’s been an X-Files fan since near the very beginning of the first season (I admit I missed the first few episodes’ original airings because I was under the impression that it was a paranormal investigation reality show and not a work of ... read more

Jul 27 '08
Pros: It's The X-Files, familiar characters
Cons: frustrating presentation, not enough suspense, too many things given away early, not-good-enough
Summary: A little over six years after the X-Files television show came to an end, creator Chris Carter has brought the story back one more time in order to please fans who have been begging for more. From the outset, Carter had said that this would be a film ... read more

Jul 25 '08
Pros: None...NOT A FRIGGIN' ONE!
Cons: Everything. It completely and totally sucked.
Summary: I normally don’t read reviews for movies until after I’ve seen them, but I was intrigued by the high number of negative early reviews that came out for The X-Files: I Want to Believe. The basic summary of the negative reviews was that this movie ... read more

Pros: Duchovny and Anderson
Cons: Plot may not be extreme enough for some.
Summary: It has been over six years since the popular and groundbreaking series, “The X-Files” went off the air leaving some of the series biggest questions unresolved. There was always talk that future films would resolve the alien conspiracy and invasion ... read more
