Also, Cade being the Last Knight was revealed in the IMAX Sneak Peek. What is the significance of the Athurian Legend and Transformer scenes? Why are those even a part of the story?
Whenever a franchise runs out of ideas, they either pull King Arthur, Robin Hood or Dracula out of their ass.
To be fair this has been done in other incarnations of Transformers,
namely Transformers Prime. My problem with it is that it sort of limits the character, because obviously they're not going to destroy the entire Earth so Unicron can escape, meaning he has to stay more-or-less confined. Hopefully they haven't backed themselves into a corner with the villain everyone's been hyped for.
Yeah, it more or less guarantees thatUnicron will be a McGuffin and not a real character, even if it is from Transformers Prime. And let's not give Bay too much credit for that one... for all we know, the idea came about like this:
Michael Bay: DURR EUNUCH-RON IS A PLANET RIGHT? MAYBE HE COULD BE EARTH BECAUSE EARTH IS A PLANET, ISN'T IT?
Screenwriter: Yes, Michael. Earth is a planet. And now that I think about it, I believe that Unicron actually was planet Earth in a Transformers cartoon that ran a few years back.
Michael Bay: YEAH! SEE? I'M A GENIUS! PLUS, SINCE IT APPEARED IN A CARTOON, THIS SHOULD SHUT UP ALL THE STUPID FANS WHO DO NOTHING BUT B***H ABOUT MY MASTERPIECES. NOW COME ON, LET'S GO BLOW SOME SH** UP.
But you know, this development really could set us up for a film that TRULY tests the limits of pure stupidity. I mean, I thought this franchise had hit bottom long ago, but since this film has Transformers fighting alongside King Arthur and the allies in WWII, I suppose we are still exploring new depths. I think I already know the tagline for Transformers 6: THE ONLY WAY TO SAVE THE WORLD... IS TO DESTROY IT.
^This.
At this point, I expect anything from this franchise. Earth turning into a robot, then blowing up, then re-shaping into Yager the Living Planet.
The only way I'll be happy is if they do that inevitable crossover with GI Joe. IT has to happen.
Wow, after reading more spoilers and the general storyline this sounds worse than I thought.

so it's Revenge of the Fallen + Dark of the moon with a little sprinkle of King Arthur mythos
MAN THAT SOUNDS HORRIFIC
I'm pretty sure this is going to end up in the single digits on RT.
Transformers 4 is the worst theater experience I've ever had in a movie, and early buzz makes it sound like this is somehow worse.
Him and Jeremy Jahns tore this film a new one lool I used JJ because he keeps uploading the same time as stuckmannI am interested in how Stuckmann will tear it apart. I smell a Hilariocity review.
