As the famous theme tune is whistled over the opening credits, listen carefully and you may hear the gentle chime of ringing tills as Mulder and Scully return for a pointless cash-in on the TV series. I Want To Believe isn’t a terrible film but it’s just not very good either.
Mulder and Scully are called back into action when a disgraced priest starts hearing voices and having visions after two FBI agents disappear.
Void of any monsters, super-natural quirkiness or even a psycho killer, the film fizzles. The only ‘mystery’ in the movie is whether or not the paedophile priest could possibly be psychic – and it’s hard to take this seriously when the priest uses his powers to deduce that the house he’s been taken to isn’t the scene of the crime at all – rather it’s the house opposite. The yellow police tape surrounding the property was probably the biggest clue.
I think it's lost its X factor.

I'm sorry that this movie was a disappointment. We used to really enjoy the television show. But the movie would probably be better left to a Sunday night made for teevee movie, versus the big screen.
I'm glad you're back doing your movie posts.:)
