X-Files: I Want to Believe

This followup to the X-Files suffered from a very clunky script in its attempt to truly shoehorn into the film the "I want to believe" motif, which was carried through its run on TV for 9 years. While it's a small treat to see Mulder and Scully together, the case at hand wasn't strong enough, and I didn't think these main 2 characters felt "right" in how they were written for this film. So, not even a solid effort by Chris Carter and company, and I'd only recommend it to die-hard fans of the show, otherwise, it's not going to elicit much enthusiasm from the general public.

I give it 2.5 stars, or a grade of C+.
