Sadly I thought it was a big disappointment. It just didn’t seem that anyone’s heart was in it. Not DD’s or GA’s, not the writers – no one. GA did have some good moments but it was like their characters’ relationship with each other at that point in time was unclear to the actors. It was a monster of the week, which I did know ahead of time, but an X-Files movie without aliens or conspiracies just falls short. Remember the series finale? All those unanswered questions that the final episode was supposed tie up but didn’t? Well this was CC’s chance to redeem himself and he blew it. And I am sure that many shipper fans would have loved a flashback to the moment that Mulder and Scully finally gave into each other and said all the unsaid things which led to them shacking up. Well you won’t see it in this movie. There is a kiss but by this point in time it is anti-climactic. In fact – I barely remember it. And the worst part of all – to throw in 3 minutes of Skinner at the end using a cheap plot device and for no aparrent reason other than to make everyone in the theater clap.
If you are not a hard core X-Files fan but just looking for a good movie – this will do. But if you are looking for “the answer to everything in the X-Files TV series” then XF2 wil not fit the bill. And sadly I doubt there will ever be an XF3.
And I wanted to believe…
