En voilà une autre très positive
Le gars est co-auteur de "The Complete X-Files," mais a posté en tant que simple spectateur.
[spoiler]All right, I just got back from a midnight showing and I am extremely agitated. First off, let me just say I am the co-author of The Complete X-Files, out in October, so I may have a bias. However, I made up my mind to not post about the movie if I didn't love it. It's not like anyone was waiting for my review or anything, so I have no reason to tell you people anything but the undiluted truth. That being said, I absolutely cannot believe some of the negative reviews out there. There is no doubt in my mind some of these critics made up their minds about the film before they even saw it.The X-Files doesn't fit into whatever passes for pop culture these days, so it's fair game for a drubbing. Watching the dreadful coming attractions- with pointless explosion after pointless computer effect, I thanked God that this film is a black sheep. This is an amazing film on its own. For X-Philes- especially 'Shippers, this is godhead. I can't tell you anything about the book since I signed a NDA, but I can tell all of you that Chris Carter is the most hardcore 'Shipper on the face of the planet. And you see the proof of that in this very rich emotional pudding. I'll come clean and tell you I wasn't a big fan of Fight the Future- to me The X-Files is about intimacy. This film is everything I wanted it to be- dark, unsettling, and extremely intimate. And believe me, there are plenty of suspenseful moments in this film, especially the chase scene on the construction site.
I kept waiting for all these scenes that were supposed to ruin it all, or for some gaffe that would take me out of the narrative, but it never came. The nitpicking didn't make me angry at the filmmakers, it made me angry at the nitpickers. What I saw on the screen was a dark, intense, bleaker-than-hell thriller that was no retread, but very much a progression in the spirit of the classic X-Files. The gritty cinematography and the washed-out palette do not look "cheap," they are used to tell the story of Mulder and Scully's lives and their sense of loss and disappointment. There are some amazing shots in this film- some amazing establishing shots and some chiaroscuro lighting effects that create an extremely creepy mood that will get under your skin.
I didn't get comped on my tickets, I paid for it myself and I'm doing so again tonight. And I'm looking forward to it. I was quite ready to be disappointed by this movie and all I am is disappointed in a pack of reviewers who dismiss something because it's no longer deemed to be hip. Go see this movie and be proud of your obsession.[/spoiler]
Le moins que l'on puisse dire est que les avis sont très tranchés dans un sens comme dans l'autre mais on est loin du consensus négatif que l'on avait au début.
Une seconde, toujours positive.
[spoiler]just got back,
i think this movie was great and a great way to end and leaves it open for more i honestly do not believe people understand what this is about, i went in with really low(because of the reviews) expectations and loved it,the characters where true and most of all it is about there relationship it really is a drama i think people expect the wrong thing with this film.
The few final scenes where great and really left on a great note and a funny one right at the end.If it ended like this i would not be disappointed, i think maybe knowing the show is what you need to love this,and i am not bias if a hated i would just say it.The x file is second to the meat of the story which is faith and what is actually important to the characters and if you notice at the end Mulder gives up his quest for the truth he is content with a life with Dana and that was the meat of the story.
I think people are looking at this movie totally the wrong way,it's a character driver piece not an x file one,the character's
are the x file.The ending was beautiful and well written i can see where there coming from but i honestly think some people want this to be a huge blockbuster when really it's just a small movie with a lot of love and heart
at the end i was waiting for Mulder to say just you and me a second before he said it maybe because i took my girlfriend
and i was thinking of her and then he said exactly the way i was thinking it was perfect and weird.
i was in a shit mood today and the last thing i wanted to do was watch a movie and by the end i was really happy
stuff the critics i honestly don't think they understand how it was all connected and how it all interplayed.
with the stem cell research and the church being two sides and Dana is using her powers as a doctor for the work of good
and the other doctors for the work of evil,it is all connected and well thought out.I think that just a lot of it went over everyones heads,but anyway that's my two cents i would give it about a eight out of ten and i think it was better then the first movie and i hope they make one more.

Histoire de rester dans le positif, en voici une troisième
[spoiler]Ok guys, it's hard for me to say this but I um... how should I put it... I freakin' LOVED it!!!

I was really worried about all those critics and shitty stuff, I was so nervous I almost got out before the movie even started. Serious panic attack moment there!!!
The very first scenes are great, they set a really new mood after season 9 (which I liked but, it was different you know), it's dark, cold, creepy and very x-filish! When I saw Scully and Mulder together, (eventhough the beard was funny in a weird way) for the very first time, I got chills. That's when I realised they were back!!! Scully's plot was better than Mulder's, mostly because he spent a lot of time with Amanda Peet (nothing personnal, I didn't really like her character, it was a bit Monicaesque in a much more annoying way) and being stubborn like in the past! GA is amazing, really! She made us cry in the series but in IWTB she really shines! She brought tears to my eyes twice! DD is fantastic as always. He is so Mulder even when he is not trying! I love how much the characters have changed. Mulder's line: 'I'm only part of the team' was priceless. I felt like hugging him. (He realised only now, what we have know for about 15 years LOL) Scully's 'That's why I fell in love with you' made my heart skip a beat! (eventhough I was spoiled like hell lol actually hearing her say it was AMAZING)
Their bond is stronger than ever and their chemistry -GOD- breathtaking!
The MSR here is just PERFECT really, so skilfully handled. Seasons' 8 & 9 doesn't even begin to compare!!
Every scene with M&S was GRANDIOSE. I loved, loved, loved, the bed scene and what comes next! No love scene ever made in film history is as remarkable as this one! It was so simple and ordinary and yet means so much!
Loved the book on Scully's nightstand (really evocative lol ) and their toxicology talk, so M&S :laugh1:
When they talked about William, I felt really sad. The pain is still so 'fresh'.
I really enjoyed the fight scene (I didn't get the impression they had really broken up) I don't know it allowed a certain amount of angst to fill the air, it was quite 'rousing'!
The rescue scene was once again handled amazing well! Instead of a soap operaish reunion we get a 'sorry about your car' from Mulder and the look on Scully's face.. ugh precious! The last scene was once again so tender and meaningful. And the kiss, a treat for the eyes!
The boat scene is the icing on the cake. I think it's both DD&GA and M&S, depends on how you choose to view it! It's was a nice ''love gesture'' from the writers and actors towards the characters, I believe! They allow them to find a little peace of Heaven in a world so cold and dark sometimes! And an homage to the SHIP...
The X-file now, well it certainly wasn't what I was expecting but it actually was good and satisfactorily concluded!
What I think interesting is the way the characters dominate the plot! The way they relate to the case and bring the story forward, as they question their own beliefs and fight that inner battle of theirs, caused by such a rich personnal history.
The plot/x-file is obviously secondary here (but still good and interesting). It's a means to an end. The main focus are these two people and how they relate to a fate they didn't chose! It's about the questions it raises and the struggle to find the answers.
The directing and low budget might be disturbing to some, to me it fits just right. They allow the movie to be darker and the characters to be the spotlight.
This is visibly a very personal, intimate, intellectual movie. Isn't what TXF is (also) about? Plus after all this time M&S deserve their moment. This is a great homage to them.
I really think this movie is brilliant. Some might disagree and use CGI arguments, pointless gunshots/explosions and multi-rewarded directers to try and discredit IWTB, but I still believe in TXF.
Side note: I think that what's hurting the movie is that people were expecting aliens and monsters, when this is a character-centered intellectual movie!
Go see it people. I went alone yesterday, I'm gonna go with a few friends this time around.[/spoiler]
