Leave your thoughts about The X-Files.
| San Francisco ChronicleBob GrahamNeither true believers nor newcomers to the phenomenon will be disappointed. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertAs pure movie, The X-Files more or less works. As a story, it needs a sequel, a prequel, and Cliff Notes. |
| Washington PostMichael O'SullivanLike the TV show, The X-Files movie is stylish, scary, sardonically funny and at times just plain gross. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanDark, funny, paranoid, arbitrary, humming with tamped-down eroticism and in love with all things weird: That's the good news. |
| San Francisco ExaminerTim GoodmanIn the movie, the truth will (and does) out itself. Mulder and Scully have seen the future and it's a giant leap for each of them to comprehend. |
| Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittThis is more than enough material for two hours of summer-movie fun, and The X-Files delivers said fun reasonably well. The action scenes are bigger and bolder than their small-screen counterparts. |
| The New York TimesElvis MitchellThough both stars are sometimes eclipsed when the film strains for big action episodes, Mr. Duchovny sustains enough cool, deadpan intellect and suppressed passion to give the story a center. Ms. Armstrong has the harsher, more restrictive role, but she plays it with familiar hardboiled glamour. |
| L.A. WeeklyManohla DargisIt's the brilliance of The X-Files to have turned Mulder's paranoid style into a function of cool. Mulder and Scully aren't just beautiful, smart, well-armed and seemingly impervious to the banalities of everyday life, such as cheap haircuts and ruinous love affairs--they're cool. |
| The A.V. ClubKeith PhippsIt's a smart, exciting, involving film that's true to its source, which is all it really needs to be. |
| Austin ChronicleMarc SavlovSolid, workmanlike stuff, and enough to keep the legions of X-philes sated until next September. And since I realize some of you are dying to know, no, Mulder's butt remains, as always, fully clothed. |
