Optimus Prime named 30th Greatest Movie Hero

Indy FTW.

Careful, mate, you made a mistake. It's written 'Darth VADER.'

This is upsetting! Prime could kick George Bailey's ass anyday!

& just think....he might have got higher on the list if he hadn't have gotten his arse handed to him on a silver platter by Megs & then upstaged by a young punk that just happened to be in the right place at the right time holding the most kickass rubix cube ever.

OPTIMUS HAS BEEN DISGRACED NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

In my opinion Jesus Christ is the best hero ever. In real life and on screen. Even though he wasn't included, he should be mentioned.

I hope that is the old Hulk they are referring on place 10, the new one was sh**

And Spongebob beat Sarah Connor???

Agree, but you know this is movies, He could die for our sins, but they still took away his starship!

Excuse me...Thelma and Louise beat Prime????
Complete and total BS! Prime should at least be in the top ten.

Optimus should be number 1 hero of all time.

Hitler was a totally badass villain in "Downfall." Did he make the list?

I don't see Mahoney anywhere on the list. Dissapointing, but, thats their opinion.

in my opinion

Thats the crappiest list ever. lol. Hulk?? Donnie Darko?? ROCKY?! WTF. What does HERO mean to them?

And Spongebob................ nuff said i think.

Courage the cowardly dog was more heroic than that yellow piece of sh!t.

I don't care about some silly ole list made by silly ole people....Megatron has always been MY hero! And that is all that matters to me!

whine! complain! moan!

This list has him at number 30 for The Transformers: The Movie. That's the 1986 movie, not the 2007 one.

That's probably why he didn't rank as high; you can't give points to a hero whose only big moment in the movie is for him to get shot to pieces.

As for why 2007 Optimus isn't specifically mentioned on the list, that just points to the faulty logic in lists like this, especially this one: characters like Indy, Rocky, even Lassie and Atticus Finch I can understand them being on it (if not necessarily their rank), but what's so heroic about George Bailey? The man tries to commit suicide; Jefferson Smith belongs MUCH higher on the list in comparison. And Reese Witherspoon's "Legally Blonde" character - c'mon.

And loading up on horror-villains does not a list of Top Movie Villains make - by that logic I'd have put Dr. Phibes or Cushing's Frankenstein on there somewhere; why Drago is on the list and Blofeld isn't I dunno, and I'm sorry, but if we're gonna go the 'mindless unstoppable killing machine' route, there's no excuse for a list that includes the truck from "Duel" but totally ignores the shark from "Jaws".

...plus in regards to Chitty-Chitty Bang-Bang, I thought the old baroness in the braids and dominatrix outfit was a helluva lot scarier than the Child Catcher.

That list is a load of crack. James Bond should have been the #1 hero and the Wicked Witch of the West as the #1 villain. And how the hell can they include Ashitaka from Princess Mononoke and forget all about Nausicaa from Nausicaa of the Valley of Wind? She accomplished more than that outcast ever did. Lousy list.

Another worthless list...that's the problem with having so many magazines- they all have to come up with something besides ads to fill their pages with and this is the result. I really can't disagree too much with Indy for #1 but the fact that Spongebob is on the list is pathetic. First off, look up the definition of "hero" in the dictionary. Second, all those "heroes" are eclipsed by the men and women in our military, our firefighters, and police. You can't have a list of "heroes" without mentioning them at all. Therefore I give little credence to this latest list.

Its a from MOVIE magazine so obviously its all about MOVIES!

You people really need to get a grip.

Your 'definition' criteria holds, but I don't think anyone's disputing the courage of real-life heroes given the nature of the list itself - the list deals with MOVIE heroes, which for the most part are works of fiction. It's nice that you thought about real heroes, though.

I'm aware of the fact that it's about movies. It's just that the people organizing the list didn't even try. Even Wizard's lists of Heroes and Villains are better than this, and those lists aren't that great to start with.

No Megatron! Please. This list is not complete without him!

This gets my vote.

Megatron should be in the top 50 villians i mean trying to take over the UNIVERSE not a country or planet the UNIVERSE

Megatron is autonomic perfection.

no suprise there

rocky!!ftw!!

No surprise that Megatron didn't even make the list considering he's only in the last 1/2 hour of the movie and didn't really do anything outright evil. He was more or less portrayed just as a pissed off alien robot trying to find something that he lost, maybe at the expense of a couple of squished humans. Nothing about that rings "top villain" to me either. Hell, Frenzy was more badass than Megatron since he actually (and intentionally) killed a few people.

Cool to see Prime's name in there, though. I'm sure that after another one or two more movies, he'll move up the list.

I'm just going by "Passion of the Christ," but all he did was get his ass beaten for like two solid hours. Apparently this pissed off Voldemort. Or is there something I'm missing?

I kid, I kid.

LONG LIVE MEGATRON! DECEPTICONS FOREVER!!!

Yeah, & he was even evil without killing people. Why? Because healthy slaves worked much better than injured ones....

What the hell? That list FAILS.

bwa ha ha! Optimus Prime was beat by LASSIE? Priceless!

Optimus Prime is #30?! Well... that's better than not being on the list at all.

Heck, given the shoddy nature of this list, I'm amazed Godzilla didn't make it on. EITHER list, for that matter; if the AFI could list the Governator as both hero AND villain, surely these folks could have given a ginormous fire-snorting lizard his due along with a collie and some mute brutes with machetes.

Indiana Jones #1................the hell?

Granted, Jones is cool and all...I can never miss an installment of the movies...but, come on! As I said before...a silly list created by silly people!


As for Lassie beating out Prime....Prime lacks doe-eyes and a furry face, thus making her more endearing to most humans...............



to most humans

what the heck optimus 30th greats hero hell no!!!! his like 1st he could kick all the freakin peaple on that list!!!!!!whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

OH yea go optimus
