The X Files: I Want to Believe

This movie came a few years after the series finished, but it's weaker than the first movie. Not because it's necessarily bad, it has a good setting and tension throughout. There's some minor nods to the series and character building, but ultimately this is a decent monster of the week X-Files episode (I wouldn't even say it's like that of a top tier monster of that week episode - just decent). Come into it with that mindset and it's fine, similar to the feature length Breaking Bad 'El Camino' that wrapped up Jessie Pinkmans story.

This is not a blockbuster movie like 'Fight the future' which strongly continued the origin story a lot of big moments. It's a shame as it could easily have continued the super soldier arc and it would've been nice to see Monica and Dogget's characters return too.

So I'd give this a 6/10 - it's fine, but could've been so much more considering it's a movie, not a 45 min episode.
