As someone who can relate to a few of Michael Bay's films, I still liked the first Transformers movie in places, even if it has aged really badly. There are some nice action sequences, and Bay manages to create an epic atmosphere. Furthermore, Shia LaBeouf's hyperactive acting is still just about bearable here. The negative sides of the director are already omnipresent, though. Above all, the female roles are terribly written, and the adolescent jokes are unfunny. The camera is almost nauseating; it's sometimes really hard to see what's happening on screen at all. On top of that, the movie is way too long. However, in comparison to what's to come, the first installment in the series is still adequate.
