Review of The X-Files: I Want to Believe (2008) by Danam. — 25 Jul 2008

I wish Chris Carter had decided to return to the alien invasian storyline, but nonetheless, this film is getting a raw deal from the critics. The plot turns slightly sloppy in the second half, but it's a great character study and the concept of faith in its many forms is central to the film and explored very well.

I agree with someone else who said that many of the reviewers have only a passing knowledge of the tv show. If they had done their homework, they'd know that this movie pays tribute to the Mulder Scully relationship -- which was the driving force of the show, anyway.

I sincerely hope that the movie brings in enough at the box office for Carter to return for a third movie -- he has been saying that the third one will deal with the alien invasion, and it's a resolution that they fans deserve and that a new generation of fans could really latch onto.
