(Don’t read this if you haven’t seen the movie and don’t wanna know anything in the plot…)

As advertised, I went to see the much anticipated new X-Files movie, I want to Believe. The first thing I gotta say is wow… Mulder and Scully are officially a couple! No there is not sex scene in the movie but they were in bed together! I think by X-Files standards, that’s pretty exciting already.

In any case… I thought the movie was very disappointing. The whole thing about the X-Files is that “the truth is out there” storyline. Sure this movie’s is a story after the TV series, but it doesn’t really add anything new!

You know how the beginning of each season, you’d have some kind of closure for stuff that happened in the finale of the previous season. Then you’d have many many episodes when the story doesn’t really move you along the overall storyline. Then it’d become interesting again because the plot finally develops new twists…

Ok, so this movie is a lot more like one of those episodes that just didn’t add anything to finding the “truth” Mulder is after. So we know both Mulder and Scully are no longer with the FBI… Big deal… Are we any “closer” to the “truth” after seeing this movie? No, not at all… That’s why I feel a little cheated. The movie is more hype than anything else. It’s wrong that they stir up all the interest from old fans and not give us anything substantial!!!
