What is the star actually trying to say in the trailer for 'The Last Knight'? The answer might be, "Whatever you want."

If Wednesday's trailer for Transformers: The Last Knight revealed anything about Michael Bay's final Transformers movie, it's that Sir Anthony Hopkins' talents are likely not going to waste this time around. Indeed, it might take every ounce of the man's acting ability to try and imbue the dialogue of his character with some meaning, given how absurdly generic it actually is.

In total, the Last Knight trailer is a mix of the unexpected — who would have thought a series about giant robots that turn into cars would have medieval knights in it, or that Mark Wahlberg apparently screams in pain when his hair is wet? — and the impressively vague. What is the actual plot of The Last Knight? Who knows, but it does involve robots punching each other, Optimus Prime getting robot-brainwashed and having purple eyes. And lots of explosions.

It also includes Sir Anthony doing his best to turn what are meaningless phrases into foreboding-sounding warnings in a way that almost disguises the fact that the actual dialogue doesn't just fail to reveal any actual information about the plot of Transformers: The Last Knight, it seems so disconnected from the Transformers-ness of it all that his lines could have been lifted from any other melodrama in recent years. Let's consider the evidence.
