    A Total Disappointment

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Aug 23, 2001 | 1 out of 1 found this The X-Files (1998) review helpful

    This movie played like a cross between a second rate mytharc episode and ALIEN.Considering the script wasn't even completed when shooting commenced, its no wonder.This movie is an example of what greed does.Fox and The X-Files Producers apparently th...ought the fans of the show would buy anything they half heartedly spewed forth and apparently they were right. The movie did make $180 Million but at a cost of $60 million to make, it wasn't a mega hit. A weak script coupled with some smarmy Mulder & Scully dialogue doesn't make for an intelligent movie. And the Dallas explosion looked like the special effects people copied it from the Oklahoma bombing, which I consideroffensive.Avoid this drekfast at all costs, and purchase the DVD Collections of the early seasons back when the writers knew how to write a truly innovative show.

    Quality X-Files Episode

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Feb 11, 2000 | 1 out of 1 found this The X-Files (1998) review helpful

    Fans of the series should love this. It has everything the series has but is bigger, bolder and .. well .. you get the picture. I love the X-Files and this movie, while it didn't soar to the heights it claimed it would (you don't really find out any...thing more than you do watching the series), is more than worth watching. Agents Mulder and Scully once again find themselves facing familiar foes (Cigarette Smoking Man etc) but this is done with such a slick style that it doesn't really matter that we've basically seen this all before. The X-Files has always been essential viewing and this movie does nothing to change that. The set pieces are handled well and Anderson and Duchovny translate perfectly to a film setting (and the film even allows their supressed passions come to a boiling point).All in all, a spot on slice of entertainment.

    great flick

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jan 31, 2002

    Generally speaking, I don't go watch movies in the theaters. A movie really has to pique my interest to get me to go pay 12 dollars to see maybe one and a half hours of film, but this one had me waiting in line.It's very good. I was a fan of the se...ries when it first started, and quit watching it in university, but the movie made me want to go back and see it all again. The characters virtually oozed emotion and pathos, the scenes and sets were incredible, and the scope of conspiracy was just great. I had to buy the film on Laser when it came out, and recently upgraded to DVD.You won't waste your money if you buy this one. Read more Less

    More questions, then answers!

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Dec 13, 2001

    being that i'm a big X-Files fan. i was a wee bit dissappointed in Chris Carter's big screen version of the X. it gave me more questions than answers. but at least one of my questions was answered, about Samantha Mulder's mystery. othewise, i was psy...ched to see my favorite agents on the big screen. it well put together and a good film at that. excellent action and mystery. the bombing of the federal building was erriely reminiscient to Oklahoma City. and (GASP) mulder cussed!!:) an excellent X!

    Classic Sci-Fi, GREAT movie!

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Mar 12, 2001

    The X-Files movie was a masterpiece. I am a recent fan of the show and decided to rent the video. It was spectacular! I went out and bought it after watching it twice over a weekend, and I'm not one to part with my hard-earned cash over a movie. ...Even if there never was an X-Files series, this would be a great movie on its own. I am not a hardcore X-Files fan, but I loved it! If you are a huge fan, it just makes the whole movie that much better. Whether or not you like the series, get the movie! Read more Less

    A must-have DVD for X-philes!

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Feb 23, 2001

    OK, you may like or dislike the movie. I'm a huge X-Files fan and I loved it. It's a dark, complicated story, yet understandable for people who don't watch the TV show, and it follows the line of the episodes.There are some great shots and sets in th...is movie, Martin Landau doing a great piece, the usual villains showing a side that makes their characters more believable and human, some of the usual supporting cast (including the Lone Gunmen) and it has great action sequences.The DVD has a lot of cool features, the best being IMHO the commentary by Chris Carter, who remains humble and candid about making his first cinema feature, and who tells a lot of interesting stories about the making of the movie.

    X files: The Movie

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Dec 23, 2000

    I am a huge X-files fan and was VERY disappointed with the movie. Too many cliches and the plot evolves miserably. The ending stinks and the supporting characters from the TV show are not used properly. The movie should have went with a plot outside... the show, like a special unknown X-files case. Thumbs DOWN.

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Oct 15, 2000

    I love this series and it will be greatly missed once it ends. I loved the movie because it fell right in with the series and I thought that was alsome. Can't wait until the series premere Nov 5 2000 9:00 on Fox
