Did not meet expectations....

Being a die-hard fan of the X-Files and waiting 6 1/2 years for this movie, I had some pretty high hopes for the sequel, as I'm sure many other people did when they went opening day. Sorry to say I was left extremely disappointed. For the creator Chris Carter to keep this movie's storyline under lock and key for so long, you'd think that there would be some major, unbelievably entertaining and thrilling plot to the movie, but there wasn't. Honestly, I've seen regular X-Files episodes that were 10 times better than the movie (Memento Mori, Demons, Redux I & II, just to name a few). Not wanting to give anything away to those who have yet to see it, let me just say that there is a lot of repetition in dialogue between characters and not a lot of action, which is totally different from the first movie, which was filled with action and meaningful dialogue. Also, religion is a major basis of the plot, which was a surprise. Overall, it was good to see Mulder and Scully back in action again, but the movie seemed rushed and the script awkward. I expected more than this....
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Going to the movies is expensive, especially in Chicago ($10.50 a ticket), but The Dark Knight was worth every penny. There were tons of great action sequences, a funny joke here and there, and most importantly, a fantastic storyline.
Growing up, I was not an avid Batman fan but like everyone, I knew the basics about the bad guys. What this movie does is gives you the background of the 2 major bad guys and how they came to be, while incorporating moral dilemmas and romance into the equation. It does an excellent job of doing that, and at such a good pace that everyone can follow it. The acting was superior, particularly by Ledger's 'Joker'. Once you see the movie you'll see why people are buzzing a bout him winning an Oscar for his role.
Additionally, there were so many unexpected twists here and there that you're always on the edge of your seat. Go see the movie. You'll love it.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
