1 - 14 (sorted by date)
Top CriticDark, funny, paranoid, arbitrary, humming with tamped-down eroticism and in love with all things weird: That's the good news.
05/19/08
Top CriticStylish, scary, sardonically funny and at times just plain gross.
05/19/08
Top CriticAs it is, pic serves up set-pieces and a measure of scope that are beyond TV size but remain rather underwhelming by feature standards.
05/19/08
Top CriticOnly two scenes in this spin-off are worth the time of followers of the TV series.
05/19/08
Top CriticHad the creator of The X-Files set out to prove that tiny theorem, he couldn't have done a better job.
07/12/02
Top CriticDavid Duchovny and Gillian Anderson are enormously sympathetic heroes.
06/18/02
Top CriticWho hasn't walked into a movie late and tried desperately to catch up with the plot, to make sense of what's on the screen?
02/21/01
Top CriticOne of the season's more lightly enjoyable mainstream offerings.
01/01/00
Top CriticConspiracy theorists, consider this: What if the hush-hush atmosphere and Internet mania surrounding the first X-Files feature film were part of a giant plot to hide the uneventfulness of one more summertime sci-fi fizzle?
01/01/00
Top CriticIt's a two-hour episode of the show, except with better production values and a nicer wardrobe for Scully.
01/01/00
Top CriticAs pure movie, The X-Files more or less works. As a story, it needs a sequel, a prequel, and Cliff Notes.
