What Parents Need to Know
About The X-Files: I Want to Believe
Parents need to know that the second X-Files movie (which is a stand-alone story, not a continuation of the series' core conspiracy) is more likely to appeal to adult fans of the '90s TV show than to teens, though some may still be interested. Be warned that it's pretty grisly (more so than the earlier movie): It includes graphic, horrifyingly detailed depictions of "scientific" medical procedures on unwilling victims, including lengthy, Silence of the Lambs-esque moments of a young woman in captivity awaiting her fate and images of severed limbs, ghastly stitches, copious amounts of blood, and more. Also, a psychic helping the FBI investigate the abduction of an agent is a convicted pedophile ex-priest with 37 victims; the character's crimes are in the past -- and deeply regretted -- but still discussed at great length.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the phenomenon of The X-Files TV show and this film's appearance in theaters six years after it ended (and 10 years after the first movie). Is there an artistic reason for these characters to return, or just the hope of financial reward for the studio? Families can also discuss many of the questions raised in the film: What's the difference between faith and belief? When does the attempt to extend human life in the face of illness cross moral and ethical lines? Can a criminal earn forgiveness for horrible crimes?

Don't waste your money
This was a horribly disappointing movie. The excitement that was building up for this movie made me leave half way through the movie because it was so bad. There is no way a 13 year old should be viewing this film. The movie should have picked up from where the other one ended. This was 2 hours of my life I want back.

Great If you were already an x-files fan.
This movie was good if you were already a fan. Otherwise you would be left in the dark by some references and background info. I believe it gave me better closure to the x-files than the series finale did. I hope there are more x-files movies to come but could settle for dvd releases. p.s. Loved the George Bush scene

love, just love.
as a fan of many years.. i found this movie to be a great extension to the series. seeing agents scully and mulder together again was nearly as good as a huge stack of presents sitting under the christmas tree :D unlike other viewers who have dissed the movies plot.. i found it to be quite interesting to follow. being a fan of the television series isn't necessary to view and greatly enjoy this movie (or the last one.)
