Mulder and Scully comes back to the big screen with X Files, I Want to Believe, 10 years after the first X files movie. The duo is not working at the FBI anymore - Dr.Scully is in a hospital while Mulder...is still Mulder. However, with the case of a missing agent in their hands and a psychic who claims to know where she is, the FBI enlists the help of Mulder to find her. However, they do not have an idea where he is so they contact Scully who easily finds him. Mulder agrees to help and also involves the skeptical Scully in the case.
The movie did not have exactly what we call an x-file storyline, which means having aliens or paranormals in its story plot though it involves a psychic who was a former priest convicted with pedophilia. The movie will still keep you at the edge of your seat mostly because you are left wondering why they are kidnapping women and what do they do with their bodies. There are clues scattered throughout the movie but of course, everything comes to full circle only at the end. The priest is also a big mystery because his criminal past makes you doubt whether or not he is a real psychic.

MAJOR SPOILER BEGINS HERE.
There are tv episodes that are much better, my friend who is a big X-Files fan said. However, what I liked most was the revelation of the relationship between Mulder and Scully. Yes, for all Mulder-Scully shippers, this movie confirms it all. They are indeed together. I am not claiming to be an X-files fan because the series is beyond my generation but I have seen the first movie (which I watched over and over again) and some television episodes. It is obvious that Mulder and Scully has something going on between them but they keep denying it. To end it once and for all, they finally revealed it here. Can I hear the Mulder-Scully shippers cheering?
This is, I think, the major reason why X files, I Want to Believe is worth watching. With Mulder and Scully confirming that they are a couple, their fans now are pretty contented. Gone are the days of alient hunting which is now replaced with battling evil that is in man itself.
One thing is for sure, I would love to see David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson in a romantic movie together...not playing their roles as FBI agents of course.
