THE MOVIE: X-Men (2000)
THE SCENE: Weather-mistress Storm (Halle Berry) finally gets the upper hand during a fight with fellow mutant Toad (Ray Park) and delivers this très witty bon mot.
THE LINE: ''You know what happens when a toad gets struck by lightning? The same thing that happens to everything else.''
Not seen this movie, so I don't know the context.

That's not a bad line given the context of the scene.

The problem is mainly Halle Berry's delivery of it. She tries to make it an extremely serious dramatic moment. It would be fine played low-key as an offhanded comment, I think.

It's a line that needs comic timing.

It's one of Joss Whedon's few surviving lines from his re-write. Halle says it wrong, but I think the main problem is that Singer just didn't get it.

His other surviving line is the best line of the film.

That line always did sound a bit off to me, it makes sense but it's just weird.

That part of the dialogue wasn't the worst. It wasn't the best. But it wasn't the worse.
Halle could of definatly given it a better attempt.

Next: THE MOVIE: Sin City (2005)
THE SCENE: Gutter avenger Dwight (Clive Owen) is watching lovingly as the woman of his dreams (Rosario Dawson) guns down a bevy of prostitute-hating baddies.
THE LINE: ''My warrior woman. My valkyrie. You'll always be mine, always and never. Never. The Fire, baby. It'll burn us both. It'll kill us both. There's no place in this world for our kind of fire.''
I haven't seen it yet. I begin to be grateful.

This list is ridiculous.
Jerry Maguire and Sin City? This line was meant to sound old and noirish and it works great.
