The X-Files: I Want to Believe (2008) - 2 stars out of 10
Why would anybody make an X-Files movie without any aliens in it? Especially after the cliffhanger at the end of the first movie? I can understand if you were releasing a movie every other year and you wanted to break from the ongoing alien theme (as they did in the tv show)... but if you are going to make us wait 10 years for the second movie, there had better be some frickin’ aliens. They could have put any two arbitrary characters into this story. It is almost as if they decided to name it “X-Files" so that they didn’t have to devote any time to character development. The final result of these filmmakers’ efforts is a confused psychological thriller that forgot to include the thrills. This film will leave a sour taste for anybody who enjoyed the well-written series and are stuck with this as a last impression.
