I was glad the Bernie Mac scene was left in there. That part always cracks me up. I would say the majority of the cuts made were perfect. There are a few scenes I would have left in the movie. For example, when Sam and Mikaela are in the car for the first time, I think that whole scene works. I think Sam flexing his arm shows what a dork he is. Plus any extra screen time for FHM's hottest woman, Megan Fox should be treasured. =)
I think the problem with the part with Bumblebee "leaking" on the agent is actually the sound and not the content. It's that "BONG" sound that makes that part so bad. I think that scene could stay in the movie if a better sound was used. It just sounded so out of place with all the other great sound effects in the movie. It's not any worse that the leader of the Autobots saying, "Whoops, my bad"
I was surprised that you didn't cut the part where the government gathers all the hackers together. There is a part where one of the guys says, "that's the secretary of defense" and then the speaker says, "ladies and gentleman, the secretary of defense" I think the hackers line could be cut. We don't really need to hear that line twice. On a person note, I hate the way hackers are portrayed in movies. They always have the right software to instantly crack something in under a minute. Plus they have a nice GUI interface where they just bang on the keyboard and get instant results. Sorry a bit off topic but it's a personal pet peeve of mine.
I agree with some of the other people on the forum and don't mind the "bring the rain" line. Although I must admit all the other cuts with the military were perfect. The left cheek thing had to go. The military shouldn't be the one's providing the comic relief in the movie.
The scene with Sam's parents in the bedroom is so much better. That was such an uncomfortable scene and really slowed down the movie. You successfully removed the American Pie from Transformers.
I'm not sure why you don't like the "I'll drive, you shoot." line. I didn't think it was that bad. Plus it features Megan Fox and again any screen time with her is enjoyable.
But as I said, it's a great edit. Too bad Mr. Bay didn't have you there in the editing room before the movie was released to make this a better movie.
