Its not what you expect. Less monsters and scariness, but more character development. Great to see Mulder and Scully back in their old roles, some great lines. Fans of the show will love it and want more, but you don't have to be a die-hard fan to get it, its not really that complicated, actually, and I think a lot of people would like it, even if they hadn't ever seen the show. I think the next one should be deeper and more "out-there" but this was a good transtition movie after so many years.
