    Yeah they all laughed at me when I said TDK will kick Titanics ass. This film is making around 18mil a day,,,,,,, it hasn't stopped yet.... ;-)

    The X-Files film was awesome, really good, and disturbing!
    And if your a fan your gonna want to stick around for the End Credits there's a very cool scene that will make the hardcore fans shed a little tear ..... Amazing !!

    There's a reason X-Files: I Want To Be-LEAVING made 10.2 mil opening weekend... it wasn't very good at all in my opinion (sorry 790). Boring story that was more "Millenium" than X-Files, by the numbers direction, pretty lame dialog, and a whole buncha nothing going on in the story. The only bright spot was Billy Connelly as Father Joe. The first film was so much better.

    @790

    I agree with Chris on this one. X-Files was a boat load of boring.

    I'd just like to encourage everyone to see The Dark Knight again just so we can knock Titanic off the top spot. Please please please.

    That's cool guys, when I watched the film I realised that most people would find it boring and it wouldn't be a big hit.
    I also didn't see one mistake in the continuity or in the technical side.
    (One thing I can't say for TDK).

    As a hardcore fan I appreciated the dynamic that was transpiring throughout the film. The (I Want to Believe) statement, has allways been the heart of the show, Mulder always believed, and Scully kinda did, then didn't at all.

    This film, yes was alot like Millennium, it played off a couple of really current themes.
    Stem-cell research, faith in God, and Organ transplantation (taken to the next level).
    The film was simple yet it did have good suspense that reminded me of "Silence of the Lambs" at times.

    In the end the message is that Scully NOW finnaly believes in powers that she cannot control and powers that were the core of the series.

    The ending scene that I'm sure alot of people missed, cause they couldn't wait to leave the theatre , was a scene that really only Hard-Core fans of the show would get anyway, and totally confirmed that Scully now believed or at least her spirit did.
    The film wasn't as action packed as the first film and didn't have any of the conspiracy themes...... Its clear that Chris Carter made this film as a closure to the Mulder and Scully dynamic that allways had them at odds when I came to believing in powers possibly not of this Earth.

    When you see the message for what is, this makes more sense and its a great ending to the show and a great film.

    So disappointed that X-Files didn't do better...I have to wonder how much of it had to do with the story? Or was it more how long it took to get around to making it that the fans just kind of were not interested?

    Would it have done better if it was a full on continuation of the mythology for those of us who've been around since the beginning? I wonder? I would have watched it anyway, no matter what.

    It is bigger disappointment b/c there had been talks of maybe a 3rd movie dealing with the "invasion" in 2012, but mostly on a mythology standpoint. I've happy with the ending of this movie as far as Mulder and Scully's relationship goes; but it would've been so very interesting to have got to see what CC would have done about this whole conspiracy.

    Would Mulder and Scully save the day? Would they figure it out in time? Or would their worst fears come to fruition?

    I guess we'll never know... :-(

    Unless someone writes a book.....anyone?
