The first was was O.K.

This one seemed really odd because no one watches that show anymore. They just came out of no where with this movie.

Im probably not going to see it. They already suckered my $10.00 on the first one.

As an X-Files fan I was unfortunately quite disappointed by this one. It just didn't have any of the elements that made X-Files classic; it was more of a generic drama/horror film with Scully and Mulder kinda thrown in the mix. Won't be buying this one on DVD...

I'm going to see it. I thought the first one wasn't that bad, so i'll at least give this one benefit of the doubt.

I want to believe (that it'll be good)... I was a HUGE fan of the series as a kid and until it ended. I pretty much grew up on X-Files ("da eex files" as they would pronounce it in Israel) and the Simpsons... and seeing both go to the crapper would be kinda sad... I think I won't even risk it this time and not see it :frown:
