For what it's worth, the X-Files: I Want To Believe isn't a bad movie. It's just a bad X-Files movie. I liked how they decided to do a monster of the week format and avoid all the hype associated with continuing the mythology of the show. The only problem is it's a very boring, bland monster of the week.
I will admit I enjoyed the character driven story, but when you watch the X-Files you're not watching for JUST Mulder and Scully. You're more watching for the mystery. And the mystery and how it is developed in I Want To Believe is just well, not believably any good.
There are a few odd musical cue choices and even a horrendous CGI effect. On top of that, there's some oftentimes goofy camera-work and questionable acting(keep an eye on Xzibit doing his best to be SO SERIOUS!)
Luckily this was the X-Files because if Duchovony and Anderson weren't on screen it would be a much lower score.
