The X-Files Series is dead, and this THE X-FILES: I WANT TO BELIEVE is its burial ceremony! My hopes weren't very high but I was expecting something better after all these years. Make a second film for that? Why? Any regular episode of the series is better than this "large episode"… The fans of the series might like it and I don't blame them, but in fact I think this film was totally unnecessary.Well, the main topic of the plot ("the Frankenstein doctor"…) is not bad, but all the rest is not that good, at all! The film is too slowly paced, the action scenes are just a few and not well done, the main characters are truly old and wasted, and there's a subplot that seems to increase nothing to the movie except drama, cheap drama! Rest In Peace X-Files Series

I'll say this: the acting was good.Beyond that, I don't understand all the above-6 ratings this thing is getting.1. Motivations are not believable. There is nothing compelling about the case in question that would realistically intrigue either Mulder or Scully enough to get involved.2. This movie, apparently about the importance of belief, provides no reason for the existence of such a theme, teaches us nothing new about the theme, and even tosses in the importance of forgiveness, but only in a glossy way.3. The bad guys are, frankly, ridiculous.4. Here's the spoiler: this movie didn't EARN the two-headed dog.5. Scully's sick kid and his family are merely props in Scully's "moral dilemma." This movie is a plot outline with dialog and scenery and absolutely zero depth and very little suspense. Glad y'all had fun watching it. Me, I want my ten bucks back.
