My expectations were pretty low, what with all the bad reviews, but I still enjoyed this movie. X-Files is probably one of my favorite TV shows of all time, though - so it was nice just to see Mulder & Scully again, with their always-compelling dynamic. As a stand-alone movie, it's ambitions were modest (no mythology, very few of the series' characters) - it was a bit like watching an extended TV episode...I missed the mythology. So....if you're already a fan, it's a fun nostalgia trip of sorts.
