I'm one of the very negative about IWTB people. I tried not to harsh anyone's squee, because yeah, I guess it was pretty special to get anything after all those years. But I hated it. I thought the plotlines were even stupider than usual, and I still don't understand how Scully googling "stem cell research" resulted in the page about the two-headed dogs or whatever that clued Mulder in. I don't even know. And I personally thought every scene between them was awkward and stilted, as if they hadn't met in five years. It just didn't work for me, though I did like the ambiguity around the priest. I only saw it once, and it reminded me why I'd left the show before the end.

I don't think FTF is a particularly good movie, but on the other hand it occurred while I personally was at the height of my fannishness, and hell, it was great to get that on the big screen while I was young and passionate. ;) The shippiness was kept to a minimum I thought, which was nice because I'm of the UST persuasion so it was there but not ruined. Also Martin Landau.
