The Silence of the Retired FBI Agents
The X-Files 2: I Want To Believe is not nearly as horrendous as the reviews say it is. If you were an X-phile, it’s a pleasant way to pass two hours in the company of old friends—even if somebody onscreen has to say “I want to believe†every 15 minutes to remind us of the characters’ issues. There’s a brilliant moment early on, when Mulder and Scully visit the FBI building and stop in front of a picture of US President George W. Bush. As the grinning president’s photo appears on the screen, we hear the portentous notes of the X-Files theme. Labyrinthine government conspiracies and unfathomable secrets: The X-Files has taken over reality.

A girl inside the theater with us said “Yuck!” when Scully dished out that “it’s why I fell in love with you” line and although I adore Scully, I, too, felt that was a little off-character. Oh, well, a lot can happen in 6 years – like your red hair can go way lighter.
I still want X-Files 3.
