completely unspoilery title about the X-Files movie

1. Completely unspoilery preamble to the fact that I have watched the X-Files movie. A serious review follows - I actually do write reviews for films, though I'm about fifteen films behind on my total right now (urk, never going to catch up), but as you can tell from my backlog, I'm out of practice. This took me ages. But anyway, I wrote my ' ( Read more... )

I agree with your review, well done ( ... )

Wow, that WAS an epic comment, lol! Obviously we share a lot of the same views for this movie - I really was not blown away by the storyline or the MOTW, and if you had to rank it, I'd probably say it was one of the average episodes from an okay season of the show. Not one of the most amazing.

But in terms of the SHIPPY STUFF?! Flippin' 'ECK. That bed scene was just freakin' amazing, wasn't it? I LOVED it when he popped up behind her, and it was fantastic. Six years they'd been together, just away from the world, hiding - even if Mulder didn't much like it and missed the XF. ;)

I WAS SQUEEING INWARDLY FOR SO MUCH OF THE SHOW. THE FELL IN LOVE WITH YOU SCENE. ASLDKJALSDJALSDHASLDHSLADA. I SQUEED AT THAT. I MUST ADMIT IALSO CHEERED A BIT TO MYSELF WHEN SCULLY KNOCKED DOWN THAT GUY AND SAVED MULDER. BECAUSE IT WAS AWESOME AWESOME. :D

A third movie WOULD be fun, although I don't think they'll EVER be able to tie up the alien conspiracy stuff. :P I'm sure by now not even Chris Carter knows what's going on on that front anymore...

Oh no, I didn't wait after the credits! FAIL! What was the post-credits scene, please tell me in full details. I had no idea there will be one and to tell the truth I was so majorly disappointed in the film I had to leave the theater as soon as possible and now you tell me there was awesomeness after the credits? I'm such a loser.

Awww, you are totes not a loser at all for missing out on the credits. They were seriously cheesy. Awesome because, hai, David and Gillian in SWIMSUITS looking happy, but it was kinda cheesy. ;) I'm sorry you were disappointed by the movie - I was too, plot-wise at least. The chemistry and ship made me quite quite happy though. I bet the movie improves on repeat viewings - so I'm probably going to go back again this weekend. And it's NOT to catch David and Gillian again in swimsuits, uh-uh, NOPE. ;)

THE CAPSLOCK FLAIL WAS THE FUNNEST PART TO WRITE. Because OMG. The plot was just soooo rickety and painful.

I answered someone else about the credits! Here! :D
