This movie was a little disappointing to me AND I'M A HARDCORE FAN OF THE SERIES AND THE FIRST MOVIE!
Firstly, if you're going to wait X number of years to release a sequel, when you finally DO get around to doing it, spend some time on the script and plot for goodness sakes. The first movie was about the government engineering bees to carry a virus to the populous at large and at the end we had the GIANT, AMAZING scene with a Million year-old spaceship exploding out of the ice and disappearing after an amazing rescue of Skully by Mulder. BUT THIS MOVIE, is just about a few murders in a small town and some scientific experiments that don't affect ANYONE really AT ALL. All this movie was is a new episode of the series. Plus there's this completely unconnected side story about a sick little boy that Skully is crazy to save when all it really does is detract from the main plot...probably because they writers knew that the main plot wasn't strong enough ALONE to carry a full movie.
Very sad.
Now for the good. Very nice performances by David Duchovney and Gillian Anderson. They still have that on-camera spark as their Mulder and Skully, most definitely. It's a shame that they had to bring it out in such a disappointing script.
