I want to believe there are still quality X-Files stories to tell, even if this one wasn’t. I want to believe this, but like the protagonists in the movie, my beliefs are conflicted with doubt and reservation.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 14, 2024

…the story may be missing some beats, but there’s still an interesting chemistry between the leads, and the conflict between science and religion is an edgy seam to mine…

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 28, 2022

One of the major criticisms levelled at The X-Files: I Want To Believe is that it is like an episode of the television series - and a mediocre episode at that. I have to say that this is true.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 17, 2021

Having not seen a single episode of The X-Files before, this does work as a (mostly) standalone film. If only it weren't such a slog before getting to the bonkers climax.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 30, 2020

Devoid of hardcore action scenes or graphic violence, the film instead offers genuine moments of psychological anxiety.

| Original Score: 2.0/4.0 | Sep 27, 2020

As I watched, I found myself less engrossed in the various onscreen goings-on than I was in what was going through the actors' heads as they gamely went through their paces.

| Original Score: D | Jan 6, 2019

The film's ambition may well be to "stand alone" but, alas, it doesn't even stand up.

It's all gripping big-screen 온라인카지노추천.

Time has moved on, and it is hard to find a reason to believe in what is presented here.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 8, 2017

The movie-a big fat episode, essentially, with a noticeably constrained budget-is a satisfying thriller, with romantic and religious angst substituting for explosions and chase scenes.

| Aug 21, 2017

I Want to Believe will be tossed on the heap with the rest of the unnecessary remakes, adaptations and sequels.

| Original Score: C- | Aug 17, 2017

...this essentially feels like an extended episode of the series...

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 25, 2016

There was a lot of secrecy surrounding the new X-Files movie... But the film's big secret is out now: it sucks.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 15, 2013

Even the apologists will have to admit that this is not the X-Files movie they'd hoped for.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 14, 2012

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 18, 2011

Is it a stirring final hurrah for the show, wrapping up all its dangling plot threads? No. Is it an excellent evocation of what the show was, with a depth of soul and character most thrillers still don't bother with? Yes.

| Original Score: 7.5/10 | Jan 7, 2011

The X Files: I Want to Believe ... feels like a 온라인카지노추천 episode that's been stretched out of shape, like a badly washed jumper

| Nov 22, 2010

A sloppy, second-rate entry in the catalog of standalone X-Files adventures.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 30, 2009

It was darker and murkier, and I didn't enjoy spending time with the characters, as I had on Friday nights more than ten years ago.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 15, 2009
