Think of it as picking up a visual version of an 80s Marvel Punisher comic. You are gonna savor every moment of the flick after that.
The X-Files: I Want To Believe.
Ok this may be a long and overdrawn episode of the TV series, and granted it has a very interesting premise too, BUT what I didnt like about the flick was the "forced" chemistry between Mulder and Scully.
***MINOR SPOILERS***
The whole scene in the bed, the couple kissing scenes...look forced, and are put in just for the sake of making the curious viewer happy ("Will they finally kiss? Will they finally get in bed?" :rolleyes: ). What made the original TV series a bestseller was the "distance" between the leads, here there is none.
Anderson looks old, and withdrawn and haggard. Its like "I am tired of playing Scully for the umpteenth time, but since I dont have many other choices...bring it on one more time." Duchovny tries his best to be enthusiastic, but falls short of delivering. Amanda Peet is actually refreshing to watch. There are some really notable scenes, but overall, the movie gives off the feeling of being flat.
I hope they stop re-hashing this franchise after this one.
