I only have a couple of tiny quibbles about the film:
1) Why did they give Optimus Prime a mouth? I loved the mysterious Knight in shining armour type of look he had and the mouth plate did this...well, at least they didn't get rid of it altogether.
2) When the Transformers title came up it should've 'Transformed' like it did in the Teaser trailer, that would've been so much better than having the name zoom into your face. Then again, maybe they were short on production/editing time and was the last thing they thought about. Well, at least the rest of the film got the attention it deserved post-production wise.
3) Oh yes, another couple of things but more sad really - when the humans captured and tortured Bumblebee...his cries were enough to make me weep! Same when his feet got blown off during the major attack, what a brave little soldier! You just have to feel sorry for the guy.
4) When Jazz is killed, he was one of the cool ones - why him? Why!
My favourite scenes (not in any particular order):
1) The way Bumblebee destroys his old character's VW Beetle from the animated series, nothing quite says moving on than smashing a few windows!
2) When Bumblebee um... 'leaks coolant' on a Sector 7 agent!
3) When Optimus Prime accidentally treads on and smashes Sam's dad's fountain in his garden while trying to be inconspicuous.
4) Optimus Prime's "One shall stand, one shall fall" line from the original movie, well at least they got it right this time - Prime lives! Although they obviously added 'today' after that, possibly for copyright reasons, etc.
5) When Frenzy sneaks off the plane he walks past everyone covering his face as he goes by, as if no one is going to notice a shiny spikey robot walking through! Although maybe it did work because no one in the film pointed him out. Still, it was funny seeing that - plus watching Frenzy going hyper over finding the Iceman Project on the net and Sam on eBay. Then smashing his head on the screen when his connection gets cut off (we know how you feel Frenzy!).
6) When Barricade 'interrogates' Sam and asks him if he's "Ladiesman217" on eBay - it sounds so sinister and yet so funny because of the name.
7) As Sparky inspects the damage done to his garden by what he thinks was an earthquake, the Transformers have climbed onto the side of the house in an attempt to 'hide' from him.
8) Ironhide's obsession with nuking everything he comes across, poor guy means well but needs to be reminded of his priorities - "Remember we are not supposed to harm humans! What is with you?" Optimus Prime to Ironhide.
8) When a Decepticon invades the base at Qatar, it looked just as cool as it did in the trailer - transforming and blowing everything away in its path!
9) Jazz demonstrates the language he learned from the world wide web, "Hey what's happenin' *******, this looks like a cool place to kick it!"
10) Megatron gets peeved with Starscream for letting him down, "You've failed me yet again Starscream, as usual!" - it sounds like the sort of thing Megatron would say and the way he said it (despite it not being the original voice actor of the series) it really had me smiling because it really sounded like his attitude.
There are a million other scenes I loved in this film, although as you can see there are just too many to list!
