So often the word ´irony´ is misused. This is a clear-cut example of correct useage.

I like many others have been blinded by some of the robot action (all 5 mins of it) and have excused the rest of it. After watching DOTM again I can say without a doubt that it is just awful. Why even include Shockwave? Why is Optimus a cold-blooded killer? Why is Megatron sitting in an alleyway watching the action? Too many whys and lapses in logic and just good story-telling altogether.

Well "common sence" might have been alittle harsh for sly to use, but in a seince alot of the questions you had were in fact answered in the movie. others are just from putting two and two toegther. For example,..
What was the purpose of Shockwave being in it?
To throw people off the sent of Sentiel Prime being the main vilian. But to be honest, it really wasn't Bay of the production company who did this, but people heard thatShockwave was going to be in it, and asumed that he was going to be the main vilian. I'll admit, his character was wasted as there was so much more potential for him, but with people doing everything they can to find out all the secrets of the movie before hand, i can't blame them for trying to use him to throw everyone off the main plot of the movie.
As far as Optimus behavior is concerned, you have the fandom to directly blame for this. They were the ones that bitched and complained about how weak he was in the first movie. Then he becomes the bad ass he should be and people still want to bitch. Bay really has tried to aplease not only the fans, but everyone (he can't just focus on fan requests other wise the movie would be a total and complete failure.) BUt alas,...As long as Bay's name is attached to the TF franchise, your never going to make them (the fandom) happy. No matter what is done.

I always rely on you to say more eloquently the things that would come out of my mouth as snarky insults.

Cobalt Prime wrote:A little more thought in the writing could have alleviated some of the Sentinel Prime execution issue.
If they could have had something along the lines of Sentinel having a small change of heart in the final battle and putting himself between Prime and Megs at the last second to save Prime from a killing shot, thus taking the hit and falling, Prime could have continued to trash Megs. Then a scene would have followed where Prime cradles his fallen mentor while Sentinel THEN makes the apology speech as he dies in Prime's arm (singular), with Prime saying something noble, sad, and forgiving to send him on his way to the matrix. This, to me, would have made more sense and would have still accomplished all the intended goals, but in a much more faithful to the character manner.
Cobalt Prime wrote:I don't know. I didn't really get a rage and hatred vibe from Sentinel. It seemed more of an obsessive willingness to do anything to save Cybertron kind of thing. Anything.
He definitely despised Megs, but seemed genuinely regretful to have to fight against Optimus.
That's just the impression I got, and why I thought that the alternate ending could have worked. Maybe I'm way off on that...

Optimus sparing him at this point WOULD seem a bit odd, don't you think? I mean, cleaving Megatron seemed strange, only because of Megatron's position, they could have captured him, but Sentinel? I fear his death was inevitable.
