    Yeah, I've noticed that it has gotten pretty much average reviews. Lots of "disappointment"s used.
    That sucks! For as much time as Carter has had to come up with shit, and he puts forth a less than stellar script/storyline.
    After reading all of the pre/re-views I'm pretty sure I'm going to wait for the DVD/Blu-ray. Sad!

    I didn't see it but I guess they both agreed to do another movie after this one.
    Maybe that's why we don't have any answers. I dunno.

    I stopped reading movie reviews a long time ago. I never missed an episode of the X-Files when it was on, and I WILL be seeing the movie this weekend. Who cares what some random guy from some newspaper thinks

    I guess my point is that I'd rather form my own opinion than not go see a movie simply because Roger Ebert or whoever says they didn't like it. I can't count how many movies I've seen that were critically panned that I ended up enjoying. I'm not expecting an Oscar nominee, and that's fine with me.

    a lot of the times i usually agree with the general take on the movie as most of the critics. but sometimes i have the exact opposite feelings. like i actually thought waterworld wasnt terrible. and juno was one of the worst peices of shit iv ever seen. so maybe this one might surprise me.

    Funny you say that, as I happen to agree with you on those same two movies. So you never know.

    I hope we are in agreement on the new X-files, but MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Waterworld was perhaps one of the worst movies created in the last 30 years!!!!! Juno, while not the next "Godfather" was still an impressive film.

    You are nuts!

    I'm sorry. I hate to say it but as a long time fan of the show I have to say that this movie was just flat out awful. Even seeing Mulder and Scully together again wasn't enough. It seemed it was nothing more than a long, drawn out episode of the X-Files that I would've been disappointed with back in 1996. The dialogue, at times, was terrible, and there were so many plot holes and things not addressed that it made the entire story seem incoherent. I hate to say it, but this was one of the worst movies I've seen this year.

    This pretty much sums it up.



































    It was pretty much a very long, mostly boring, episode, that had nothing to do with anything from the show. It still felt like the X-files, but it didn't really help it.

    I saw it yesterday! I liked it but I'm a big fan of the show, I never missed an episode.
    I don't think it was like super amazing like the way people are talking about Dark Knight, but I don't think it's as bad as the reviews make it out to be.

    It's dark and atmospheric and a little bit twisted and oh wait, POSSIBLE SPOILER:















    has nothing at all to do with the mythology... .

    but everything to do w/the relationship btwn Mulder and Scully, which will be a big surprise.

    But I thought it felt like a special 2hr episode of the show, and definitely if you are a fan of the show there are little twists that you will appreciate.

    I actually liked it more than I liked the first movie. I was terribly disappointed by that one.

    And Amanda Peet is a terrible actress. She is really badly miscast in my opinion. She's like the world's worst FBI agent. I wanted to yell at the screen: Girl, call for back-up!
    And Xzibit gets to walk around going "FBI! FBI!" :D
    lol

    no one else saw it yet?

    I saw it... and let's just say, I was definitely disappointed and I agree with your comments.

    Xzibit was just a tool and Amanda Peet.... ugh.

    And what was up with all the hospital scenes with Scully. It really added little to the plot and it felt like filler.

    i also saw it. i really didnt think it was that bad. and i think the hospital stuff had to do with scully's faith and her knowledge of science, she finally was able to combine the two in her life. and the idea that scully was trying to use a very radical form of treatment to save that boy, and that frankenstein villian was just further up that alley. obviously scully wasnt killing people to save one life, but still. new treatments are always viewed as alittle evil.

    I thought the movie was pretty good, definitely not as bad as I had been hearing. It wasn't fantastic, the plot was a bit thin, but I enjoyed my two hours at the movies. I thought they did a good job of showing the development of/between Mulder and Scully six years after the events in the last episode of the TV series.

    Oh, and yes, Juno almost made me fall asleep when I watched it. What was impressive about it? The weird-ass, lame soundtrack? The overly goofy characters? It felt like they made a movie about Napoleon Dynamite's girlfriend getting pregnant. As for Waterworld, I would never call it great, not by any stretch of the imagination, but it was interesting enough.

    very true

    i was just disappointed because i expected a lot of answers. i just hope this movie really is leading up to another WITH the answers.

    anyway, i do like the fact that they showed what kind of relationship Mulder and Scully have now.

    my thoughts exactly

    i still have no idea how juno was so liked by everyone i know. i had to stop watching it about 45 minutes through because of how bored (and annoyed) i was. i eventually finished it because i thought maybe it might get better, but it didnt. IMO it was just awful from start to finish. every joke in the movie wasnt funny, just annoying to hear. i dont think i enjoyed any part of it.

    and waterworld wasnt one of the best movies by far, but think the visuals were one of the best of its time, and it was nowhere near as bad as critics said.


    btw, most likely going to see the x files tomorrow. im hoping the negative critics are wrong.
    they call them fingers, but i never see them fing. oh, there they go
