I Wanted To Believe Also... 

 

'Our Take'...  On The X-Files:  I Want To Believe DVD!

We have several new blog readers that aren't aware that Tina and myself having been reviewing DVDs, books, comics, etc., for quite a while. Here is our review of the DVD that was just released yesterday December 2nd, 2008. We watched the extended version of the film:

 

I Wanted To Believe Also...That this film would live up to the trailers that got me excited to once again see two of my favorite TV Show characters.

Unfortunately after the familiar theme music stopped playing, and the initial reaction to see Scully & Mulder back.... the film went to a drama film instead of a paranormal or sci-fi thriller.

The expectations for the film were not satisified for either my wife or myself, and we both loved the original TV series. We wouldn't have had such high expectations except for the trailer, which is also on the DVD, showing great action, paranormal, and sci-fi elements in the upcoming film.  The film  did not deliver what the trailer indicated.

Big Surprise? Well.... yes it was! Sure trailers place the best scenes in the trailer itself, but this film didn't go where the trailer indicated it would.

Scully and Mulder were portrayed very well by Anderson & Duchovny... and the addition of one of the other TV Show members helped out a lot. However Tina rated this only 7.5 in a 1.0 to 10.0 scale, while I give it a 7.75 rating.

The DVD didn't have any 'Making of' feature, instead it has Chris Carter talking about Hollywood going 'green'.... not a good substitute IMHO. The gag reel was worth watching. The 'Body Parts' bonus feature is for fans of CSI and that genre only... The still shots showed some cool collectibles I don't have from the show's period, and a few I had never seen.

This Film is 180 degrees different from the earlier feature film where the show mainly took place in Antartica. Tina thought that film was just a little over the top. This current film is just a little underwhelming feeling awful small and dark in comparison...

 

The above review and even more reviews on DVDs, Books, Graphic Novels, can be found in 'Our World', which is the portal to our eBay pages, which has the links to our reviews, listings of items for sale, archived blog posts, etc... everything that is part of our eBay endeavors.
