FTF or IWTB?

[ex_rustingwil400]

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.

Oh I completely agree that it's a stretch for it to be in the movie, let alone trying to connect it to the plot (which yeah I'd forgive too if it had been more enjoyable), I just found it ironic for me to have read something similar so soon before seeing the movie. Though unlike Scully I wasn't googling for stem cells, lol (and um, yeah, I was a bit miffed at the 'stem cells are wrong' vibes I was getting from it, probably didn't help also that Scully's co-workers were strongly against it as well).

But yeah I understand expecting too much from entertainment, it's why I stopped watching Heroes and other shows. It's just sad for me to think of IWTB as the last we'll see Mulder and Scully on screen. I think about how long we waited for this movie...and just feel, depressed.
