Soundtrack:

Ooh La La

This movie sucks even more than the garbage some studio cronies write here!

Even if some studio cronies try to sell to you this awful garbage as a good movie - don't fall for that! "The X-Files: I want to believe" is total crap.

Even the most boring episode of the TV series was way better than this utter waste of time.

Why? I don't even know where to start! The story (if you can call it that) is totally lame and booooring.

Nothing, really nothing interesting happens during the whole movie.

And the bad guy? Yes, lame and boring.

Don't waste your time with that garbage.

If it weren't for the "X-Files" brand this would be a straight to DVD release.
