I think Hugo Weaving is brilliant, but even he can't save Megatron, the way he is written into the movies. The only way I would like to see Megatron come back is if we could get more development on the traditional power struggle between Megatron and Starscream... which, with the developments of DOTM, doesn't seem likely...
My problem with Optimus is that he's not a character. He's just a heroic leader. He has no personality whatsoever.
My problem with Megatron is that he's not a leader. He was pretty awesome in the first movie. Then he gets toned down in the next two movies so someone else can take the lead (The Fallen in RotF and Sentinel Prime in DotM). He basically becomes the second in command.
