GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Dotbankey A lot of fun.

Donald Seymour This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

goddess_michirutenou Overall, I have grown to love this movie for the Mulder/Scully romance. There is a lot of overall character growth. Mulder and Scully have been through quite a lot over the years and they are understandably more weathered and weary when we see them in this film. There are a lot of inconsistencies...I'm looking at you Chris Charter. When the FBI approaches Scully, she's resistant and standoff-ish...understandably so. However, when she delivers the message to Mulder...in hopes helping the FBI will relieve him of his recluse-like state, she delivers the message very insistently. Mulder was reluctant to accept, but he did. Now here's where it got weird. About halfway through, Scully wants Mulder to stop helping the FBI once she sees how deeply involved he is. Huh?! We see them argue and interact more like a married couple...I mean they have been living as such for the past 6 years. I don't understand how Scully became a brain surgeon in such a short time since we last saw them. Even if she did complete her residency and such. And from forensic pathology to pediatrics is quite a stretch, but I guess it makes sense since saving sick children might be her way of dealing with her own past. As usual, at the end of the movie, despite stepping back, Scully saves Mulder's arse. I love how there is more character development between them and they reconcile at the end. It's good monster of the week story, but underwhelming theatrically. My husband commented that it felt more like an episode of CSI with X- Files characters. I know it was shot in snowy Vancouver, but it didn't play out well for a summer release---and against the Dark Knight no less. I'm glad this movie overall was the way it was though---it led to season 10!

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.

chaos-rampant There are films driven by a desire to help make sense of things, offer views that penetrate dual opposites and reconcile these disparities, that challenge and open up. Another kind is just the result of habit, process, or of simply there being a product you want to sell.I thought the series was a torpid thing mostly. Captivated us as teens with secretive truth concealed by adults but I dare you to go back now and not find it silly. Not only did we see alien colonists, but all the other things lumped in the paranormal folder had to be simultaneously real: vampires, ghosts, poltergeist, time folding. Were it to be made now, with all the cinematic advances on TV, it would be completely different. Here they took all of that out, all the supernaturally emblematic stuff, there's no alien mythology, no mysterious locales in remote corners, no shady conspiracy that goes all the way up. They gave instead a simple mystery about a disappearance and two viewers trying to surmise their level of belief in a story. Mulder is swept, Scully resists. This is what's been welcomed in comments as "character-driven". It didn't fly with most. We end up with basically a decent TV movie or the equivalent of an above par episode. No reason for it to have been made or seen, other than habit and product.Gillian Anderson never looked more beautiful.

shridevi-gaddam I liked the movie very much. One wonders what must have happened to Mulder and Scully after they were on run. One wonders how they have fared and if fared well, how they have been able to adjust to a low or obscure profiles from a previously much exposed profiles in FBI world and Power Circles.Not going into details of the movie, I would just like to mention that I loved to watch the slowing down mellowing couple who talk about coming home to each other as far more important than any dark case that they have to solve. And yet, in this sanctity of quiet home, filled with independence and love, living on with the emptiness of having lost their son, the true natures of Mulder and Scully play out in full passion.Throughout the X Files series, Mulder and Scully's characteristics have been known to their avid fans. And those fans will now again find the same traits that makes the partnership of these two work. And very interestingly without bringing Aliens or ETs into the screenplay, the essential nature of these two is brought out, its tested once again as to why these two click together and why they look for each other's support.It is all about what they are willing to believe and uphold. Inspite of their differences, that almost threaten their togetherness, what holds them together is their compassion for human life, to relieve people from suffering, to not give up as long as they can work to have the living live in dignity as it deserves.The compassion is not just for other people depending on them, it is also for each other even if it might not be in their best interest. For ex: Scully asking Mulder to help FBI to begin with, in hunting down the missing FBI agent. Scully could have known in advance what it might to do her if Mulder is asked to work, but she does it anyways in the better judgement of finding some work for Mulder, having Mulder obtain pardon from FBI from his previous charges. It obviously is going to help Mulder venture out of his protected territory.In conclusion, I have to say, I liked how the ability to believe and wanting to believe are juxtaposed for Mulder and Scully. It was this mould of their temperaments that led their success in X Files and finding for themselves a successful and fulfilling partnership at work and sharing their lives.Acting wise, Gillian Anderson brings out a lot of shades to Scully's character, a person who loves her partner Mulder for what he is and yet trying to break free of him and make sense of her own life. And while doing this, she is still able to maintain a transparent relationship with her partner. Scully's shades are more revealed than what has been scripted or brought out for Mulder. As usual there is not much conflict for him, in the way he works out details before him, but what has been nuanced nicely for him is, that he is reluctant to take up work without Scully besides him and feels deeply disappointed when Scully refuses to join him. Although his belief wont let him relent in going on alone on his investigation, he wont give up, it being his innate quality, we can start seeing his happiness sapped out of him, if Scully is not with him. Its like Mulder is really happy as a clam sitting all alone in his office in isolation, but there is no doubt how he gets excited if there was something he could with Scully involved with him. Scully on other hand does not have this kind of dependency on Mulder for her pursuit of her life's truths, but she does look for strength of belief from Mulder, the moment she is standing confronting truth out there.
