Whats the deal with the x files movie being so crap?

a reply to: Gazrok

Actually I loved the standalone creature feature episodes...when it was episodic. The show went stale for me when it seemed to solely focus on the shadow government / alien story arch. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed that too. I want a balance between the two, and I hope the revival brings that to the fans.

As for the movies.

First was great. Second was an abomination.

I really hated how the introduced their offscreen romance and subsequent separation. What a disservice to the sexual tension and longing for its resolution.
