- gab00n, on 07/25/2008, -0/+21Smoking man got blown up.
- anagoge, on 07/25/2008, -5/+16No Skinner (IMDB has him only as 'rumoured')
No Smoking Man
No aliens
No coverups
And Billy ***** Connolly as a priest.
The only thing X-Files about this is the name. - inactive, on 07/25/2008, -0/+10It didn't do so well on rotten tomatoes , sad, because i loved the series and the last movie.
- DNABeast, on 07/25/2008, -2/+10So I dislocated my bones and forced myself into her house via a narrow ventilation system in an attempt to eat her liver. It's not the first time it's ever happened. Gimme a break.
- smashfest, on 07/25/2008, -2/+9Reading horrible reviews on this one. Shame.
- Greengoo, on 07/25/2008, -3/+10Willie Waffle on Rotten Tom's put it best:
"Seeing any movie after watching The Dark Knight is like dating another woman after you break up with Angelina Jolie" - dabura, on 07/25/2008, -0/+6But sir...I want to believe!
- Samas11, on 07/25/2008, -1/+7*SPOILER*
Skinner is actually in the movie. But you are right about the rest!
I saw it yesterday when it came out in Australia, and being a big Xfiles fan I was really really disappointed. It could have just a result of my constant hyping for the better part of a year, but I think it was also just a nothing movie.
And Xibit was so so painfully crap.
I'll be interested to see what everyone else thinks! - Gotar, on 07/25/2008, -0/+5It was 3 1/2 stars actually.
Also, Scully is still hot. :) - chokeaduck, on 07/25/2008, -0/+4I just came back from the midnight showing about an hour ago. It wasn't bad. Actually, it was quite enjoyable. Here's some non-spoiler tidbits: They mention "William", you do see more than 2 familiar faces, the whole movie plays out like a two-hour/two-parter episode, a monster of the week bit. I really liked the show up until Season 7, as did a lot of fans. This movie doesn't have one explosion, not one alien, not one gun being fired. And I feel bad for everyone involved in the creation of this movie that pitted it against TDK. Because, even being a huge X-Files fan, I would have rather paid $20 to see TDK twice than to see each once. Not that it was a bad film. It's not. It's like a MOTW episode. A long one. I don't remember one part that made me think "oh, they had to do this as a movie"... it does seem like it's about 4 years too late. And the whole idea that they could do a mythos arch movie set for the invasion in 2012... I doubt this movie will break even. Excuse me, I have an IMax movie to see....
- gab00n, on 07/25/2008, -5/+9Let me guess, she didn't see it that way and now you can't get within 500 ft of her?
- MrFisty, on 07/25/2008, -0/+4I think he prefers to be called Scottish.
- shadekeiko, on 07/25/2008, -0/+3I actually really enjoyed the movie a lot.
It had a very real, visceral feel. It was smart. It was psychological. I needed to think. I liked that I needed to think. If you don't like to think, go see ***** Hancock or another one of those blockbusters that hope to reel in your mulah by throwing in big name stars and huge explosions and a plethora of special effects. - NyQuilPillz, on 07/25/2008, -0/+2i am a huge fan.. and that is your best bet :-/ or go see dark knight again ha
- ousthouse, on 07/25/2008, -0/+2The last movie also didn't do well on rotten tomatoes (I loved it as well).
- btschul, on 07/25/2008, -0/+1Thats probably what I'll do. Probably see it in IMAX this time.
- NyQuilPillz, on 07/25/2008, -0/+1i dunno.. angelina jolie when i see her i just think of her dad... with *****
ruins any thought of her being "hot" - xfile087, on 07/25/2008, -0/+1Errr. Why are you even on this page then? Don't wanna see it? You don't have to.
- shadekeiko, on 07/25/2008, -0/+1And his review hit the nail on the head, in my opinion. He reviewed it for what it was, not what it wasn't.
- shadekeiko, on 07/25/2008, -0/+1They wanted to make this a non-mytharc movie so that it'd be more accessible to the non-fan. That was key, especially after a 6 year hiatus. If this one does well, however, Carter has said the next XF movie would deal with the whole mythology 2012 alien apocalypse thing.
- btschul, on 07/25/2008, -2/+3Sigh.....I guess I'll just be pirating this one.
http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/x_files_2/news/174 ... - strypersarmy, on 07/25/2008, -1/+2i dont have high hopes for this.
- HigherLogic, on 07/25/2008, -0/+1>> It's like a MOTW episode. A long one.
When I heard that the new X-Files movie wasn't going to continue the plot, I lost a lot of interest in it. I'm a huge X-Files fan as well (still watch re-runs on TNT and Sci-Fi), but I wanted this movie to pick up where the series left off... - billymonster, on 07/25/2008, -0/+1yeah, but she complains about his scratchy beard.
- UserNull, on 07/25/2008, -0/+1That...almost made sense
- tehknotte, on 07/25/2008, -0/+1GONG!
- 1dog, on 07/25/2008, -1/+1Its gong to make 100million
- saxmaster, on 07/25/2008, -1/+1Ebert gave it 4.5... that's good, right?
- Verugan, on 07/25/2008, -0/+0douche
- Hangly, on 07/25/2008, -1/+1I won't watch it without Skinner.
- NyQuilPillz, on 07/25/2008, -1/+1i am teh same way as you two... tnt doesnt play them much anymore.. i have all the seasons on dvd but yet i still watch them on tnt and sci-fi....
SLIGHT SPOILER.
i am very saddened that this movie was as bad as it was :-/
watching the acting.. it was liek no one even wanted to do it.. there was no emotion when tehy talked about sam. they should of not even said anything about her.. i understood where they were going with it as soon as i saw the picture on the door. no need to go in to the minute talk in the car about her.
ehh .. i was so excited to :( its like telling a kid he is going to disney then going to florida/california and them being closed for renovations or somthing - inactive, on 07/25/2008, -0/+0I recently watched the entire series over again and was excited to see this but reviews don't look promising. I will see it if I can find anyone to go with me but everyone just wants to see TDK again and again, and I still need to see it in IMAX...

- seanmx, on 07/25/2008, -3/+2***SPOILER**** The antagonist in the movie is an alien.
- NyQuilPillz, on 07/25/2008, -2/+1i jsut got back from seeing hte movie... i wmust say i was let down.....
the movie doesnt really have anything to do with xfiles cept lame referances to a psychic .. who the movie kinda revolves around and i found it funny as hell that it did becaue they talk about him being a pedophile the full time and how he molested 37 kids...
i been waiting for years for this.. and i think that lucas did a better job with episode 1 then carter did with this :( and that makes me sad - UserNull, on 07/25/2008, -2/+1Now I understand why it was guarded, and kept so secret. Makes sense.
- SheVibe, on 07/25/2008, -3/+1Ya review on aintitcool was brutal :(
- inactive, on 07/25/2008, -4/+2good, even more movies coming out and exposing the evil big brother.
INSIDE JOB!!! - Chainheart, on 07/25/2008, -4/+229 percent on RT... no thanks
- phphreak, on 07/25/2008, -3/+1Great! A movie no one asked for and no one wants to see from a series that was cancelled 10 years ago.
- vfx2k4, on 07/25/2008, -4/+1The "key" to getting Duchovny and Anderson starts with a C, ends with an H and has A$$ in the middle.
- Makkiux, on 07/25/2008, -5/+2Why does this movie even exist?
- scotishstriker, on 07/25/2008, -7/+2the movie sucked lets move on
- inactive, on 07/25/2008, -6/+1going to bomb
