I am a huge X-Files fan and have been waiting for this movie for way too many years. It simply did not work. The things that made the series so wonderful such as the relationships between the numerous characters weren't there. Most of the characters weren't even there! Skinner had a scene or two at the end of the movie. Scully appeared irrational, if not downright unstable. The case that brought Mulder out-of-the-woodwork was dark and disturbing but too unbelievable and uninteresting to be the basis for a good movie. I do not feel like this was an X-Files movie. There were some feeble attempts to make it seem like it was by mentioning some psychics in previous episodes (stand alone episodes that are truly worth relishing) and Mulder's sister but it only made me wish I was at the theatre watching the original television series or the first X-Files movie instead of this embarrassing and tedious attempt to bring back Mulder and Scully.
