I saw FTF back when I was like 8 years old in the theater (parents were big XF fans at the time and I'd been allowed to watch it the entire time it was on) and it scared the crap out of me for various reasons (I was 8, so I sincerely believed Scully was in danger of dying, then again I also really thought Mulder died all those times on the show, but that's beside the point; also the theater I saw FTF in was run down and crawling with icky bugs, one which decided to crawl up my leg during the climatic 'Scully is in Antarctica and Mulder might fall off the ledge getting down there to her' scene -not cool when you're 8 years old!), so I only saw it the one time. But I've got it on dvd and watch it fairly often.
IWTB...well, now I saw this twice. The first time, bc obviously I was a fan and had high hopes for it. The second time...because I was guilty that I found myself loving The Dark Knight more and since the first time I saw TDK was right after I saw IWTB, I ended up seeing IWTB again the same day I decided to see TDK a second time. I also was hoping that maybe a second viewing would improve it, since I had been completely unspoiled for IWTB, and so now that I'd already seen it and knew the weak/bad parts, I would be better prepared. But I hate to say it...I really didn't like IWTB. I loved the shippy parts sure, but it really wasn't an enjoyable film for me, which is sad, bc I think I like movies of even less quality and yet I stupidly expect more out of XF!
(And it's bc I was unspoiled for IWTB that I went in to the new Trek completely spoiled...but until IWTB, I came out satisfied, each time, so yeah....)
