The approach they took to this movie was totally different than what I expected. It was a lot more thought provoking and ambiguous. If you remember from the series, there were different episodes with different "flavors." They picked a more subtle flavor for this movie than they had for the previous movie. I also loved that they allowed Mulder and Scully to progress. I really believed that it was them these many years later. They had grown and matured, but it was still the characters. I thought the pacing and the suspense were good and they never let the tension down, I had no idea how it was going to end.
