FTF or IWTB?

Which X-Files movie do you prefer...Fight The Future or I Want To Believe? How many times did you see them in the theater?

I like both of them, but if I had to pick one over the other, I would choose I Want To Believe. I was disappointed to read so many negative reviews and comments on message boards after the movie's release. I liked the look of the film, and the snow and shadows were beautiful. I liked the story, even though there were a few lines of dialogue that seemed pretty hokey. (All the stuff about looking into the darkness...) I got to see it four times before it got yanked.

I saw FTF twice, I think. By comparison, it seems really bright and colorful and exciting, but I can never keep the story straight.

I think I'd rather pay for two hours of Mulder and Scully going to the supermarket. This isn't meant to be a dig at IWTB, not really. What I mean is that I'm interested in their relationship primarily, and I'd sort of relish the opportunity to see them really explore the emotional/psychological angle of their relationship without the other stuff. Probably be a terrible movie for most people, but I think it'd be fun. Whether or not they're "together."
