hmm, i really liked the x-files movie, but maybe i watched the show for different reasons than you...i never cared much for the creepy standalone eps and was more invested in the myth arc plus the relationship between mulder and scully.

i think in this movie the plot [which i also found meh, btw] is only a catalyst to the exploration of mulder and scully's relationship as well as their different attitudes towards faith. on that level, i found the film completely satisfying.
