X-Files: I Want To Believe

I belive… that this movie truly stuck to the heart of the series. Well, i got back a few hours ago from the movies but i didn’t feel like posting right away, i needed to let it sink in for a while.
Two hours of X-files = Win. But i’m a true fan so that might be why i liked it. My sister (who’s never seen a single X-files episode on tv) said that she didn’t really like it, as did some others I went with.

Well, critics claimed that it would be a good movie for both hardcore fans and people who were new to the series. I have no clue why they said that, but i believe that it was still a good movie nonetheless. Spoilers ahead.

So it turns out that an FBI agent goes missing after being attacked by a man for no specific reason. The agent’s location is unknown by the FBI and when they get a tip from a pedophile ex-priest, who claims to be a psychic. The main agent in this film decides to find Scully to ask her to contact Mulder to get his assistance in solving the case. They are willing to grant Mulder a full pardon if he agrees to help. Mulder agrees to help on one condition. He wants to ride in a helicopter. Of course they grant his wish and so the story begins to move.
Fast forward a bit to the office. They arrive and all that and then Mulder makes the best comment ever. When asked if they should believe this man about being a psychic and having visions Mulder simply states;
“He’s a catholic priest, If i were you I’d be watching him at all times. Hell, I’d get in his bed and kiss his holy ass too.”
“He’s a convicted pedophile.” the agent responds.
“Well, maybe I’d stay out of his bed.”
Pure awesomeness. Anyways, I’m tired of reviewing this and i just wanna finish up by saying, the case is solved; great storyline, sticks to the xfiles we all know and love, wonderful acting on all parts. Go see it if you’re a fan, or if you’re bored and wanna see something other than a superhero movie.
