Transformer 3 done wrong

The movie makers still don't know the Transformers after the 3rd time around.

First, Sentinel Prime is a fresh good idea for the movie. We have already seen the martix before. But primes are supposed to be the ultimate good guys and should not overshadow the evil of Megatron. Ok, for something brand new, perhaps using Sentinel Prime as evil is ok. Megatron is a complete wimp in this movie. Come on.

Waita minute Sentinal, just why do you want the space bridge to bring Cybertron over? The movie makers do not even have a complete storyline.

If Sentinal Prime is going to be the bad guy, why doesn't he take the matrix when Optimus offers it?

The first hour of the movie is nonsense human activity that can be collapsed to 5 minutes. And when the actions come, the robots lack reason to cause mayhem and they lack character. Come on, Shockwave isn't a wacky snakelike drill. Starscream is the most interesting decepticon with an interest to overthrow Megatron that all 3 movies don't bother to build upon this. 3 movies... where are the Combiners? The vacuum Devastor from the second movie does not count. Where are the dinobots. I won't bother asking to see Omega Supreme and Metroplex.

After 3 movies, the movie makers still don't understand the character of Optimus Prime. (Giving him a jetpack is a good idea, though) That last scenes is too short too brutal. Optimus and Megatron are arch rivals of millions of years, if Optimus can ax him up singlehandedly that should have happened million years ago. Optimus shooting the defeated Sentinel? Come on, only Decepticons are brutal, as seen in Megatron killing the 4 autobots in the 1986 movie. Outrageous! Optimus Prime deserves some respect. He should forgive Sentinel (and that makes the autobots heroic). Megatron (Galvatron) should be thrown out (not destroyed) like in the 1986 movie.

Where the heck are the teamwork of the autobots? What the heck are the 2 small autobots with one of them smoking? Perhaps the last scene should be Bumblee and others rush to help and Decepticons retreat (like good old cartoons). With the Decepticons defeated, perhaps the autobots can use that space bridge to go back to Cybertron to build a new golden age to end everything nicely (The 1986 movie has done that).

Rosie is awesome (but too skinny), I like her better than Megan Fox.
