So I just watched the movie I have to say the movie makes a great
episode on TV. As a theatrical film, on the other hand, its was
disappointing. As a long time fan I was happy to see the old characters
but there just wasn't enough creepiness. It was a guilty pleasure that
lasted 1.5 hours. The first 30min of the movie was actually hard to
watch for me simply because the "nods to the fans" were so forced (ie.
camera shot of the sunflower seed bowl).

I did enjoy watching M&S interacting with each other as I found myself
imagining what the dialogue would be (how would Mulder respond to
Scully). All in all, I felt the movie was really something only the fans
could enjoy. Newcomers, I fear, wouldn't be able to appreciate TXF from
this movie alone.
