X-Files is not a Particularly Good Movie

I had high hopes for the X-Files sequel, but I was pretty let down.

Corny/campy dialog, totally incongruent and inconsistent story, and almost no resolution at the end.

This review summarizes it well.

Those questions of belief and faith form the thematic core of the film, and it would be genuinely refreshing to see a summer blockbuster take on such weighty issues if the rest of the movie put enough narrative meat in the foreground. There just isn't enough of the cool, the spooky and the fun in a franchise that used to be able to pack in all of the above.

And it didn't even look like West Virginia.
