I Wanted to Believe

- 2 Eberts

I really wasn't too interested in seeing The X Files: I Want to Believe. I liked the TV show and I liked the Mulder and Scully characters, but movies based on TV shows usually aren't too good.

This movie was actually better than I expected. It was sort of like a Coma meets Silence of the Lambs.

But overall, the movie was just mediocre. It was nowhere as good as the 3 1/2 stars Roger gave it. There were three separate plots running involving Father Joe's world, Mulder and Scully's relationship and the main plot line. All of them were sort of muddled and didn't fit together too well.

If you like supernatural themes you'll probably enjoy it, otherwise, pass on this one.
