Which scene was that? I don't remember it.
Where Sam saw Bumblebee transform for the first time, after he thought his car was stolen. The night that Bumblebee sent the light signal into space alerting the other Autobots.
The police arrested him, and then interrogated him.
The scene actually fit and does work.
1.) Sam broke into the train yard (he obviously wasn't supposed to be there. It had a fence and everything, not to mention guard dogs.)
2.) He reported his car stolen, and called 911 to do it (big no no).
3.) He was carrying the dog's pain pills in his pocket (which to any cop, would look like drugs).
4.) He was ranting about his car transforming and standing up.
Too many people want to chop the movie up, remove the human element, but then they'd be left with nothing of a film. Oh sure, the TF scenes are definitely the sweet spot of the film, but they alone cannot carry the film. It would be senseless and just one giant battle/chase scene right after another.
Granted, the movie could've focused on the TFs a tad bit more than it did (this is not Bay's fault, this was in the script and the screenplay, he merely shot it all.) but it wasn't bad enough to ruin the film as it is.
Perfect? No, of course not.
Disastrous? No.
