azathothpwiggins Just as FIGHT THE FUTURE was the perfect bridge between seasons 5 and 6 of the TV series, I WANT TO BELIEVE sits at the center of the fourteen year gap between seasons 9 and 10. Having moved on -apart- for several years, Mulder and Scully (David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson) must reunite in order to solve a particularly grisly new case. Director and X-FILES hoodoo guru extraordinaire, Chris Carter pays homage to everything from SILENCE OF THE LAMBS / SEVEN to HOSTEL and even FRANKENSTEIN! Toss in Billy Connolly as a psychic, pedophile priest, and we're off to the paranormal races! Amanda Peet is quite good in her role as lead FBI agent, Dakota Whitney. Don't blink, or you might miss Skinner (Mitch Pileggi) in his extended cameo appearance! Highly recommended for both fans and casual viewers of the show...

Eric Stevenson This sequel features Mulder being called out of retirement to work with Scully again to investigate the disappearances of a couple of FBI agents. They come across a former priest claiming to be psychic who can help them. The main problem with this film is that there's just no feeling of a big epic adventure. I didn't like the original movie but that at least gave us a bigger story. This once again played like a long episode of the show and not a particularly good one at that. There's this weird subplot where Scully obsesses over the priest psychic saying, "Don't give up".I don't know why she's so confused by this line. The acting, honestly isn't bad and it is nice to see these characters again. This takes place after the end of the show and doesn't in any way feel like a big finale, which is probably the biggest disappointment. It doesn't add up to anything big. I guess I appreciate how they were trying to be more philosophical by talking about religion. It's not terrible, but it's mostly pointless. **

abbedafaria I don not know, are U.S. people just dumb so or lazy? Why this is in every movie? Why? Is it a lack of interest or lack of knowledge, lack of imagination? Why almost in every movie where is a Russian person, why this Russian person has totally and utterly non-Russian funny sounding name??? What is this????:"Janke Dacyshyn"Have anyone from U.S.A. ever read some Russian book, ever seen some play or ever read the news?In the case that someone sometime in the future will shoot some movie where will have to be a Russian person with Russian name:Google List of surnames in Russia!And: Why Czech speaking actress is not even dubbed? Do every U.S. person believe that any "strange" Eastern European language is Russian?Btw, Eastern European...Austria is "western" although lying on the same latitude than Czech Republic :)

Patrick Troen Watched this movie several years ago in the movie theatre and I thought this movie was good. It fits in like one of the older murder mystieries episodes of x files.For people who watched the x files they would remember one episode is ufo's and then the next one is a murder mystery. This one fittingly is the 2nd one and that was equally as strong in the show.I think some people who went and saw it would think this should be a TV episode but it worked well on the big screen.Casting was good and the ending was good. I hope we see more X files movies in the future. This franchisie deserves 3-4 more movies.
