My Thoughts:

This is the second time I have watched this film since getting the disc. And I must say... as a huge fan of the TV Series...I loved every minute of the film. While I think the movie can hold it's own as a good movie if you never seen the TV Series... it is even better... a must see/must own for any/all fans of the TV series! I can't think of many regulars of the series that didn't at least have a cameo here. But the downside to that is that most the characters has less screen time then you would want them to have. I don't think I really need to say this... but this is one that I highly recommend. Though (while what is there is great) I would have liked to seen a few more extras. I did love the hour long making of featurette!

My Thoughts:

I have seen in other reviews that this movie is not that much liked compared to the series and first movie. I personally enjoyed it. No... this one doesn't have anything to do with the mythology of the X-Files... but that is something I liked about it. I have always been a bigger fan of the stand alone "freak of the week" episodes. And that is what this movie feels like to me. Sure it could have been better. But I really don't have any complaints. This is the first time I have seen Billy Connolly in many years. The last thing I remember seeing him in was Head of the Class when he took over for Howard Hesseman as the teacher. And wow... did he change. But I would guess so... after all we are talking a good 20 years here. Even though he didn't look familiar at all I knew exactly who he was just from his voice.

My Thoughts:

I must say... this was a fun film. I enjoyed it quite a bit. Some of it was a little confusing on the first viewing... but not so bad where it couldn't be followed. Though I must say the character of Box and the scene with him did seem out of place in the movie. But that was not enough to ruin the film. If you never seen this one I definitely recommend checking it out.
