The X-Files: I Want To Believe (English)
October 2, 2008: Based on the popular TV series The X-Files, this movie marks the return of the world’s most popular FBI couple Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson).
Agent Dakota Whitney (Amanda Peet) comes to seek Mulder’s expertise on a FBI case involving a Catholic Father Joseph Crissman (Billy Connolly). The FBI has doubts about the Father’s integrity and hence Mulder is asked to play the lie-detector. Thanks to his obsession with X-Files Mulder jumps in despite being retired. Scully, on the other hand, provides a contrast to Mulder’s approach through her religious inclinations and cynicism. Scully and Mulder are constantly at it and their conflicts create some funny as well as serious moments.

‘X-Files: I Want to Believe’ Blu-ray Due December (UPDATED)
September 16, 2008: Fox has announced an early-December Blu-ray arrival for ‘X-Files: I Want to Believe,’ which will come to high-def as the studio’s first title with BD-Live interactivity.
The follow-up to 1998’s first big-screen ‘X-Files’ film ‘Fight the Future,’ ‘I Want to Believe’ arrived in theaters this past summer over six years after the end of the television series. Again re-teaming David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson as agents Mulder and Sculley, ‘I Want to Believe’ failed to ignite in theaters, grossing less than $25 million domestically.
`X-Files 2′: Hard to believe!
September 25, 2008: The makers of the new ‘X-Files’ movie have done themselves a disservice in coming up with the elongated title, ‘The X-Files: I Want to Believe’. …
Review: The X-Files feels like an extended episode
September 26, 2008: Mumbai, Sept 26: It’s been six years, when the ‘X-Files’ TV series went off air and ten years after the first film based on it came out. In India too the series was very famous, more because of the sizzling chemistry between David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson. In the latest movie ‘The X-Files: I Want to Believe’, that has hit the Indian theatres this Friday, the duo has managed to comfortably slip back into the roles that made them superstars in the 1990s.
But this time, the elongated title, ‘The X-Files: I Want to Believe’ doesn’t do good to the film, it just invites a whole bunch of bad jokes which, unfortunately, are justified. It is as if the makers are re-instating the fact that, we are good, even after the lapse of so many years.

‘I Want to Believe’ that there is an end to this!
September 17, 2008: ‘I Want to Believe’ that there is an end to this!
“The X-Files: I Want to Believe” is the second movie adaptation of Chris Carter’s cult series of the unexplained and paranormal, which ran for nine years on TV screens until 2002.
If you ask me, he should have left it at that, but for reasons unknown except for one (to milk the X-files cash cow further), Carter has written and directed this film, which brings back legendary FBI duo Mulder (David Duchovny) and Scully (Gillian Anderson), who are now well above their prime but are still having problems dealing with the “truth.” “I Want to Believe” manifests itself as a thriller, but with its tiresome and never-ending dialogues, it has managed to create a new genre altogether: the soap opera thriller.
