5. Some Of The Line Delivery Is Terrible

Fundamentally, some of the lines of dialogue in this trailer aren't very good. And all writing critiques aside, it comes down to performance, rather worryingly.

The one line Storm gets in there isn't entirely good evidence that Alexandra Shipp's performance is going to be much better than any of Halle Berry's and Sophie Turner has some iffy delivery (particularly with "I'm scared... when I lose control, bad things happen to people I love". 

But by far the worst offender comes when Cyclops asks how to fix the jean situation and James McAvoy says "I don't know what to do!" in a manner that wouldn't be out of place coming out of Alan Partridge's mouth. 

Seriously, what is going on here...?!
