Re: What is the most disappointed you have been with a piece of media?

[(Anonymous)]

The biggest disappointment would have to be the second X-Files movie. I was OBSESSED with TXF at the time, and the excitement and build-up in the fandom was intense. And then the movie was, imo, terrible. Which I probably should've seen coming a mile away, but we were all so hopeful that they'd come back and nail it, after the not-great final seasons.

I had fallen out of the fandom by then, so the second movie crept up on me. I didn't think it was good, but I hadn't had a chance to form any expectations. I figured they had a low budget to stick to.

I figured they had a low budget to stick to.

You're right, the budget was 30 Mil - less than half of what FTF's budget was ten years earlier.

It was mainly the characterization that really broke my heart, though. The plot wasn't very good, and it was pretty weak that the whole colonization threat was just swept under the rug, but I could've lived with that, if Mulder and Scully had felt like the characters I fell in love with. But IMO they were pale and lifeless compared to the characters they once were.

I mean, I fully acknowledge that with how intensely fannish I was at the time, it's likely that nothing the canon did could've fully satisfied me. That said, it could very easily have been a whole lot better than it was, that's for sure. :/
