I agree with Brianna814's comments. I told my husband from watching the trailers I was a little concerned that the movie was not going to be that good. My concerns proved valid.
I love the X-Files, but this film was more like the X-Fails. I had figured out the plotline well before the first half of the movie, and I DON'T LIKE TO FIGURE OUT THE PLOT! Acting, as always, was great, chemistry between Duchovney and Anderson still there, but what a weak story. If you are looking for the thrills of the first movie, you won't find them here. And the supernatural link which we all look for was barely present.
Please, Chris Carter, don't make us wait so long for a sequel, and then just throw it together. It does not do the series, nor the actors, justice.
I am not a particular fan of the Batman franchise, but I was pleasantly surprised with "The Dark Knight." I saw it at an IMAX theater, and it was by far the best of the Batman movies. Heath Ledger was truly amazing. I found myself talking about the movie for days after seeing it. While Batman is a dark movie, the director was able to show truly menacing behavior without the use of profanity. Amazing in today's age where anything goes.
