I am in the great minority in that I liked the second movie. I didn’t love it, but I really liked it. There was a quieteness to it, it was more of a character study than a thriller. I do understand why people hated it, but I just didn’t. And I am a huge fan since the beginning, own all the dvd’s, etc, so I think I have some perspective. I do agree with John re the mixed feelings of a 3rd movie, but I lean heavily towards number 2. I would love to see a 3rd movie that blows away peoples expectations just for point of pride. Maybe get Vince Gilligan involved, he’s done an excellent job with Breaking Bad, or my favorite writer for the x-files, Darin Morgan.

I’ve noticed the latest movie, although not very good, has resparked a lot of renewed interest in the original series and the first film (both of which, in my opinion, are excellent, and I don’t see what there is to hate about the first film at all).

A lot of people I know are suddenly fondly remembering the X-files, and thats okay with me.

In reply to Colin. The only reason they keep making movies about 2012 is because its getting close to the date. Like Jake said, once the date passes we won't see anymore films about it.

I for one really enjoyed the second movie. I felt it was like a very good, extended episode. Not every movie has to be the second freaking coming… and I for one found lack of Big Effects rather refreshing.

(And for all those who think X-Files is, was or should be all about aliens, please go watch some of the old episodes. It was always more than that. My favorite episode was about killer bugs that were released from chopping down ancient-growth trees. Darkness Falls FTW!).

In reply to Colin. Nah, just the next three years. Once we hit 2013 they'll have to stop making them. Assuming Judgment Day doesn't actually happen.

Releasing it in 2012 around the time of the planned alien invasion conspiracy is a great idea!

I think I go with number 2. X-Files was such a great tv experience, and if done right (like the first movie) it could be so awesome! Yes, they big-time stumbled with the last movie,but I would really like for them to redeem themselves. Just don’t make it so boring!

I would love a good X-Files movie. I would prefer a Millennium movie.

While I’m glad to see I’m not alone with some folks in liking the last picture, in my view, that picture succeeded in the “redemption” of Mulder, raised issues of faith, forgiveness…and instead of Gov’t red tape, it is now a hospital’s red tape.

However, I also see where the film failed. The film was not as grand in scale as the previous picture; it seemed more like an expanded ‘X-Files” episode AND the delay between the second film and the TV series/previous film was far apart.

I didn’t think the previous film stunk.
I didn’t think the previous film was outstanding.
I thought it was…alright, nothing that knocked me out, y’know?

So here’s what I say.

Cable TV movie over two nights. SyFy, Fox, FX somewhere. HBO.
No theatrical. NADA.
I hate to say that. I don’t…want to write that.

But that is the writing on the wall. The fan base is loyal, but it’s not as huge as it once was, the show ran its course.

Totally could see a 3rd installment, but please STICK TO WHAT WORKS!!! If the alien contraversy is what made the movie and the show a hit stay with it, embelish on it, but MAKE IT WORK!!! Don’t get lazy in writing the script.

I think there is potential for another good movie. Maybe even a franchise revival, but they need to go back and undo a few elements of the last film.

X Files 2 was two different character stories. It was Mulder without Scully, off making a political/religious statement, which really made the film feel awkward. It needs to be Mulder & Scully.
