20 Insanely Awesome 2016 Movie 1 Liners
16. "The Third One's Always The Worst" - X-Men: Apocalypse
Half-way through the movie, the young mutants decide to take a trip to the cinema to watch Return of the Jedi, it being 1983 and all.
The mutants then discuss the film, with Jubilee (Lana Condor) extolling the virtues of The Empire Strikes Back as the most dark and complex, before Cyclops (Tye Sheridan) favours A New Hope, as without it the others wouldn't exist.
Jean Grey (Sophie Turner) then chimes in with, "Well, at least we can all agree the third one's always the worst", an hilariously un-subtle dig at Brett Ratner's X-Men: The Last Stand, a threequel that most fans of the franchise despise.
The real brilliance, though, is that the quote is unintentionally passing comment on Apocalypse as well, which is easily the worst of the three First Class movies.
