I liked transformers a lot, but I gotta be honest... the ending was rather weak considering the budget and open story canvas they had to work with.

The nonstop action scene leading up to the climax took over an hour... and then the finale took about 2 seconds. Another example of huge budget being blown on effects, effects, effects... and oh crap... where did the story go? There were a few parts that were completely awesome, but overall I found it much more cheesy and mindless than its predecessor.

I hate when movie budgets get too big. And I'm also very critical.
I thought the end was good. Contrary to your point I think the quick ass kicking prime gave megatron and the fallen was a great change from the norm. In so many other movies the final battles are usually extended so long they become boring to me. I love dragon ball z but a long battle like that would have been out of place in the movie.
