Ken Jeong in DoTM, what an abomination of a performance.

I suppose you can't cast 100% of the blame on him, given what he's working with, but still, have some self-respect man.

No I can definitely cast 100% of the blame on him. He knew what he was doing, and no other actor in the same role would have been as insufferable!
 
It'll be awesome if they managed to pull off a redemption arc for Optimus with the new trilogy with him coming to the realization that the Quintessons tinkering has been responsible for his increased violence in the first few films. Ultimately resulting in him turning away from violence and becoming a heroic Optimus for the first time.

That would somewhat redeem the series in my eyes.

I mean the final scene of the third one was him going full on murder. He's never seemed like a hero in the films.
 
It's pretty obvious which character Hopkins is (see leak spoiler thread), and you can pretty much assemble the first half from there. Well, at least Hopkins won't be utterly wasted then. I do have a certain... sensitive disposition towards these Ford jokes though. Keep 'em coming, this new narrative seems promising.

Optimus somehow dead / Nemesis'ed. How did he die? He just flew into space last time. Learn to fly, you murderous jackass.
Oh, that's the ending shot, isn't it? Ha, Optimus dies. Good riddance.

also: What the fucking hell @ actual Metal Gear in there.
 
I have no memory of Ken Jeong being in the third movie. In fact, I barely have any memory of it besides the third act. Maybe that's why I think Dark of the Moon is good.
 
wow....didn't expect this to be part of Ford's new narrative. Violent delights indeed....

Is it just me or does the first 40 seconds of dialogue can be used for as a teaser for Westworld season 2???
 
He's in this and his design is crap, even by BayFormer standards. Looks like the result of an computer algorithm which browses a library of car images, randomly mashes them together into humanoid templates and spews out 100,000 an hour, then Michael Bay picked out the least interesting one he could find.

Goddamn he is hideous. Fucking blasphemy.

Just want to add the novel ending was completely different.

And better. As far as the events that occurred, not the writing.

I can't get over how hilarious it is that Optimus is dead in space. Why did he even fly up there in the first place if he can't survive in space? What was he thinking? "OHFUCKOHFUCKOHFUCK how do I turn these rockets off?"

Can't believe I'm going to defend this film, but it's entirely possible that he was attacked en route to wherever the hell psychopathic killbots fly to in space.
 
In all honesty. I hate the Movie's portrayal of Optimus. He's very... brutal, and even tyrannical at times. He isn't very... how do you say.... optimistic? I wouldn't even call him selfless.

The Optimus in his name doesn't stand for optimism, it stands for optimal killing blow.
 
Damn, cannot play the pro-res file. It's stutters constantly on my crappy work computer and personal laptop.

One of my favorite things about the Transformers movies is that Michael Bay's idea of a righteous hero is also a total sociopath.
 
It's a different take on Optimus. He's been fighting for thousands or millions of years. At some point killing just becomes part of the job.

I think it all stems from the original film, and all the fan criticism Bay got for making Optimus a total pushover. Got his ass whooped by Megatron, and had to rely on Sam to save everyone.

Which character is Hopkins playing?
 
I'll just wait for duckrolls' review, since he's the only mod who actually loves these movies. His reviews are enough for me to read and avoid these films.

Its Bays view of what a hero should be like, his other films(non trans) arent to off this track. He has a fucked up view of world.
 
One of these days I hope they use the 80s designs in a big-budget film. These transformers are still way too busy, even though I'm aware how common of a complaint that is.

That fight lasted all of two seconds.

"Pushover."
