I was disappointed in the reviews that I had read before seeing The X-Files. As a long time fan of the show, "I Want to Believe" captured the essence of everything the show was about. Anderson and Duchovny fall comfortably back into their roles as Scully and Mulder. Whichever reviewer said the chemistry wasn't there should remember a phrase Scully had in the pilot: "The answers are there, you just have to know where to look." Mulder and Scully's chemistry is in him knowing she is walking through the door behind him and him showing up when she needs him at the hospital, not in some bedroom scene placed to make the relationshippers happy.
Chris Carter and Frank Spotnitz brought back all of the things that made the X-Files a great show; it's not always about the creepy or fright factor, it's about 2 people trying to find answers and live in a world where morality is often an afterthought.

"The X-Files: I Want to Believe" can be enjoyed by both the die hard X-Philes as well as those who have no idea who Mulder and Scully are. Though, the subtle nuances may be missed by those not tuned in. And try not to laugh at the pencils in the ceiling.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
