X-Files: I wanted to like it!

Oh my God, just how badly could they have dropped the ball?

SPOLIERS BELOW

Chris Carter, the creator of the X-Files, directed and co-wrote this spin-off film about everybody's favourite supernatural investigators. Didn't it actually occur to him that maybe the audience would have liked some, oh I don't know, horror, suspense, supernatural shenanigans? Instead we get a film that's more like a rather dull episode of generic crime series rather than the ground breaking X-Files. I expected sooo much more.

The villains were plain boring. The case wasn't an X-File at all, and Mulder and Scully only get involved because of a psychic is helping with the case. And exactly what were the vilains doing? It seemed they were involved in stem cell something-or-other, which seemed to involve grafting bits of women to a dying man to keep him alive. Why women and not men? Well, I suppose he was gay, but really I don't know many (any) gay men that actually want one of those trans gender ops.

And how do they find the bad guys hidden base of operations? Well, one of them happens to break down, and Fox simply follows his tracks to their lair. Dull and lazy writing.

At this point in time, I'm not sure this film will even make my Top 20, as I think I'd rather watch Step Up 2 The Streets again rather than this.

A dissapointment.
