Things that annoyed me in this movie.


1. Cade completely fixing barely alive Optimus with out any professional equipment in a few hours or so is not believable to me.

2. Why was CIA even chasing Shane's car after they found Optimus Prime? There was absolutely no point, the point before was to get informations from Cade about Optimus' whereabouts. Sure Shane drove over CIA agent, possibly killing him, but that is police or FBI's job to deal with it, not to mention that they were on an important mission of capturing Prime. That is a quite big plot hole.

3. Why didn't Prime leave the humans after initial escape? There was no point keeping them, not only they weakened themselves, because they needed to protect them, but actually put them in danger as humans are quite fragile when transformers battles are involved.

4. In fact, why didn't they leave those humans at any point in the time of movie? Absolutely no reason to keep taking them everywhere. Optimus even says to Cade that now CIA is after all of them, but it's a complete *beep* CIA only ever wanted Prime's location from Cade.

5. Why and how did Tessa keep that disgusting orange-face makeup on at all times? When her father told her to go and steal only essential stuff, she went and stole makeup kit?

6. The amount of rockets that were shot at Optimus Prime and always went a little bit behind or to the side was off the charts, it was like all enemies were missing on purpose.

7. That guy from CIA investing everything he has into killing Joshua as revenge when world (as human-ruled world) is possibly going to end is absurd, also killing him would mean that his dreams of ever getting paid for the seed were gone.

8. Transformers created by Joshua were superior to regular ones, they had regeneration ability like t-1000 from terminator 2, also there were about 50 of them, yet Bumblebee and Hound are somehow able to keep all of them at bay.

9. During final battle Optimus is pinned to the wall by a sword and he cannot free himself until Shane does with a vehicle, that sounds stupid as Optimus surely is much stronger and should be able to do it himself.

10. After autobots beat decepticons and lockdown arrives, why the rest of decepticons and galvatron just conveniently wait around for optimus and lockdown to fight each other? They should be right behind them.

My favorite part was when Stanley Tucci came in and was like "IT'S SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE OPTIMUS PRIME, WHY DOES IT KEEP COMING OUT LOOKING LIKE MEGATRON!?!?"

If you're using the brain of an evil alien robot to get instructions of how to build alien robots using a process you don't really understand, and your alien robots keep coming out looking like the aforementioned evil alien robot... you should probably be a bit more concerned about why that's happening.

But nope, he was willing to instantly chalk it up to human error and not "evil alien robot manipulating the technology to give himself a new body."

Optimus Prime saying he wants to kill people wasn't the Optimus Prime I grew up with.
