10 Worst Line Reads In Otherwise Brilliant Movies

10. "You Abandoned Me!" - X-Men: Days Of Future Past

In a great film and a terrific scene overall, this whiny line from James McAvoy's Charles Xavier sticks out like a sore thumb. After parting on fairly bad terms ten years previous, Xavier and Magneto (Michael Fassbender) find themselves in close quarters on the Blackbird jet, with little else to do but discuss their past troubles. Charlie boy feels his former friend could have stuck around for a while after inadvertently crippling him, and let's him know in unintentionally funny fashion. True, Xavier was wallowing in self pity prior to this, but the scene really should have represented him regaining some of his old moxie, and so the line feels out of place. It may also have something to do with the pitch of McAvoy's voice as he delivers it... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpJ05GzpnE4
