The first one is solid but it's peak Bay. Competent at best and is more driven by the novelty of being the first live action Transformers movie. I remember watching the first Optimus Prime transformer sequence with my jaw on the floor. Also, Hugo Weaving as Megatron was fantastic casting and he had great lines, and a good final boss build up.
But that doesn't compare with this one. Not in the slightest. Ideally this is a new direction and we get more this writer/director team. The opening sequence starting on Cybertron and then to Earth was a blast.
