SPOILER ALERT for anyone who has not seen the Transformers Dark of the Moon!

I was highly disturbed about the ending of the new Transfomers film.

To clarify, I understand it's a Michael Bay film and plots are not supposed to make sense and have holes everywhere, but this really angered me to the point that it pretty much ruined the entire film. (And I really enjoyed the first Act of the film before we learned McDreamy was working with the Decepticons.)

In the ending battle, between Optimus Prime and Sentinel Prime, Megatron intervenes after Carly calls him a "bitch"—that alone is a whole different opinion article that I may or may not right, since it was absolutely pathetic for Bay to put into the film, but I digress.

To get back to my point, Megatron joins the fight and shoots up Sentinel and then Prime takes action to kill Megatron—since Megatron was preoccupied in attempting to kill Sentinel.

After Optimus takes action, during the distraction, and kills Megatron, he walks up to Sentinel—his former mentor—who then apologizes for his actions.

Then Optimus kills Sentinel, which is a MAJOR flaw that Bay oversees in Optimus' character.

Optimus would NOT kill Sentinel after what appeared to be a sincere apology saying he was doing what he thought was best for the race and for Cybertron.

Optimus killing Sentinel after an apology is a complete turn-off and this malicous act is all wrong—but this is just my take on the ending.

What are your thoughts? Sound off in the comments.
