I’d love to see a third movie but I think the reason the 2nd film flopped is BECAUSE Chris Carter was trying to create a stand alone film. There are millions of worthless sci-fi movies out there for people who just want to see a sci-fi movie. Why would he want to alienate his already built in fan base? It’s like what George Lucas did with those horrible shit-stain, Star Wars prequels. Don’t go messing with the formula if your enormous fan base actually ENJOYS the mythos.

Those of us who have followed the X-Files faithfully from Season 1 (and I’m one of them, I own ALL of the seasons + the first movie because it didn’t suck) LOVE the X-Files mythology. The fans wanted to see some sort of follow up to the magnitude of the first X-Files movie. “I Want to Believe” was just sort of weak. I liked it but I sort of felt cheated. I wanted to know what was going on with the Super Soldiers and the legacy of the Syndicate’s replacement and the Alien Colonization and especially Baby William. If I wanted to just see a generic X-Files episode that had little to do with the 9 years of mythology I’d come to know and love, I would have just stayed home and watched one of the many episodes I own. If I’m going to pay to see a movie, I want it to follow up on the larger scope of the X-files. The X-Files have thousands of fans who WANT to see the mythology!

I’d love to see a third movie just because I’m still waiting for answers to the bigger picture. If they do another one, they need to focus on alien mythos they’ve created. There needs to be answers to Colonization, to Baby William, etc. Those are the things fans will LOVE and if there are new people who do not understand what’s going on, but they liked the movie, they will watch (or buy) the Season episodes and the previous films and become die-hard fans too. If they don’t, well, Carter would have never interested them to begin with.

The 2nd film bombed because the script deviated from what X-Files fans adore. They LIKE complicated plots which involves devotion to the years previous. Return to the mythology and the Fans will come out in droves AND they will love the film. I thought the first X-Files movie was kick-ass! I’m waiting for something like that again. I’m anxious and hopeful that they will follow-through and make something wonderful.

There is no question that a 3rd movie is necessary and that it would be successful. But it has to deal with the main areas of concern: scully/mulder relationship,mulder’s sister, william, and the conspiracy.

I would love for a third movie to be made, but only if it focus on the alien colonization.
My idea is to have the first part of the movie about mulder and scullys struggle to stop it in secret (the common alien spisodes). The second part should be about how they fail and a war happens between aliens and humans on a remote location or something (a la transformers 2).
The trird part should be where the aliens are defeated (some how) and Mulder is finally allowed to disclouse the truth to the public (imagines Mulder adressing the nation president style!).

I think this would be cool and epic, any thoughts?

Moutain Sprite, Scully gave William up for adoption near the end of Season 9, because she didn’t feel she could protect him. He’s fine and whatever Mulder’s half brother did to him in the same episode seemed to end his special powers. He did not affect the mobile in his new home.

What I found crazy about I Want to Believe was the complete disregard for how the show ended. Scully and Mulder are in a bed, maybe being hunted, maybe presumed dead but you don’t just make a life again. Weird.

I guess it was fine if he wanted to make a stand alone but it needed to be a great stand alone and it wasn’t. It’s ashame because the show had several that were better than most feature films.

I think the second movie was good but not great. But I would pay to see another X-files movie in a heartbeat. I thInk die hard fans will never abandon the show and will continue to watch our DVD collections forever. I do hope that Chris Carter will put a script together because David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson have already said they would do it. I also think the 3rd movie should be released on 12/22/2012 if possible. Here’s to hoping and wanting to believe.

There must be a 3rd movie. One that involves 2012 etc. Follow up on William would be great too. While I know many were disappointed in the second movie I think it was important for it to be the way it was. A movie that focuses on the relationship between Mulder and Scully and where they have gone since running was important for their characters. I know many complained that Scully was too whiny, but it was real. It showed depth to their relationship. The second movie also gave a way for mulder to not be on the run from the FBI anymore. What I would really like to see is a 3rd movie that deals with the 2012 mythology, with William but that gives equal attention to the relationship between Mulder and Scully. It means it probably can’t be a 90 minute movie and might need to be much longer. The fans won’t complain. We want it done right. I could talk forever about this. I’ve been watching since 1993 when it first aired. I think X-Files will forever be my favorite show (and I watch a lot if TV) and Mulder and Scully will forever be my favorite characters.

This is already going to be a “2012″ movie out later this year, about the end of the world. Would that be too much competition?
