X-Files: I Want to Believe It's Not Butter

[Robyn]

Okay, so Queenie and I saw this while we were in San Diego, and I highly reccomend it...for RiffTrax. XD Now, to be fair, I've never been an avid watcher of the show, and I only saw the first movie when RiffTrax did it...but I still found Fight the Future itself pretty entertaining, so I figured I might as well check out this one. And there are some entertaining bits. But man, despite the Saw/Hostel-esque darkness of some scenes, it somehow manages to be really cheesy...and because it's X-Files, they take themselves soooooo seriously, which only adds to the hilarity. Now, I don't want to give anything away, but the movie's "dramatic climax" had us rolling in the ailes. XD

If you're one of those folks who would get caught up in the Mulder/Sculley sexual tension drama (Will they? Won't they? DAMMIT JUST KISS ALREADY!!) you might want to check this out, 'cause they throw some interesting curve balls on that subject. Otherwise, you should probably steer clear.

That's just my opinion though. Has anyone else seen this yet? The boards have been surprisingly quiet. Maybe I hang out in the wrong intenet circles.

The previous X-Files movie is the only thing I've ever seen related to the show, and I don't remember a single thing from it. I've always been interested in the show, but it's just one of those things that would take too much time to get into.
As for this movie, I'll check it out on TV, but I'm not inclined to pay to see it given this type of review.
Edit: on second thought, maybe I should see this. I have a free movie pass to use up, and nothing else to go see for a while.

I watched every season of the show and have all DVD's. I'm going to see this with a friend of mine on Saturday, so I'll let you know what we thought of it.

I saw it and thought it really sucked. And I'm a fan of the TV show, like I mentioned in my previous posts. It was so cheesy and the plot just was inert and I'm sitting there hoping it would pick up but it never did. My friend also hated it. I apologize if this offends anyone but I agree with it being perfect fodder for Rifftrax or even Cinematic Titanic.

The highlight for me - Jan in the Pan. Robyn and I about died, lol!

[crowfan]

That thought about Jan in the Pan occurred to me too.

I decided to use my pass to see Batman again! Take that X-files!
I'll catch it on TV when I need a laugh, I guess.

Yeah, once it comes on cable watch it. Don't spend $8 for it. Trust me on this.
