I liked the movie as a stand alone, but haven't decided if it is a good X-files Movie or not. The Mulder/Scully dynamic was adorable and beleivable, the references except for one blatant reference were hysterical, and the surprise guest was AWESOME!!! I went with a non fan who loved the movie and I agree that the plot can totally hold its own. I am also a little annoyed with Amanda Peet.... cause seriously... she has no place in an X-files movie. Also... stay until the end of the credit folks... well worth it!!!!
