I had really hoped the X Files movie would have been great, but it was too preachy/creepy for me. What a waste. I had hoped it'd be more supernatural maybe.

Yeah, I wanted X Files to be so much better. They could have re-invented the franchise through film in the same sort of way that Star Trek did but instead I think they killed it. I don't even think the core of the story was all that bad. It was sort of nice for it not to be about aliens but they wasted it.
Hellboy was fun and I loved the visuals but I guess I just wanted it to be fantastic and it was just okay. More of the characters would have made me enjoy it more rather than just 'here they are now lets have action'. The best bits were the interaction between Hellboy and the other characters in moments like the singalong..give me more than that.
Batman was also okay but not great but I am willing to admit that a lot of that for me could come from comparing it to the first movie which was just about the best film of that year. It was an actual film (said in the snobby way of a world cinema fan, I admit) vs a comic book movie. Still, I will see the third..just like any further Hellboys.
