The X-Files: I Want To Believe

Being a fan of the television series, I was exhilarated with Fox Mulder and Dana Scully finally coming back together again after so long. I had waited all this while naming my online job search agents as Agents Mulder and Scully. However, for this movie, this was also where the excitement stopped. This movie was, well..., normal. Too normal! It's not an X-Files movie to me! Gone were the dark plots and conspiracy theories. No more coverups of alien experiments or mythological experiences, let alone paranormal investigations. Instead, it had replaced the good stuff with corny dialogues and a simple plot. The directing wasn't something to toot about either, with neither enough suspense nor climax. The only good point I could bring with me out of the cinema was a glimpse of what had happened to Mulder and Scully after they exited the FBI. If you are a X-phile, you most probably will be disappointed and if you are a normal viewer, this movie is just another psycho-cum-(a bit of)supernatural thriller. All in all, a letdown to even the simplest fan.
