Review of The X-Files: I Want to Believe (2008) by Charlesfosterk. — 25 Jul 2008
How was this an X-File? Rarely have I seen a suspense film with so little suspense or a thriller with so few thrills. But what hurts must is a sci-fi with zero science. It wasn't fun, it wasn't creepy (I take that back, Billy Connelly, the ex-priest was creepy), and the plot makes no sense.
--[spoilers]-- What happened to the missing FBI agent? Why is Sculley using Google to learn about a procedure she's performing the next day? What was the point of the chase into the construction site?If the villian had taken Amanda Peet with him, the scene might have made sense.
Can anyone explain why Sculley and Mulder had no chemistry? Is it because we see the moment of intimacy so early? It's almost like Chris Carter didn't expect fans of the TV series to watch the movie.
