Pros: Shia LeBeouf, Julie White
Cons: Script, direction, Jablonsky's musical composition

Pros: Great sound design and CGI
Cons: Pretty much everything else

I enjoyed the first film on an entertainment level, but it did not hold up to multiple viewings at all. From Anthony Anderson's performance, to the lack of effort put towards the characters and the story, especially the robots Transformers 1 was a lot of ...

Cons: Not so much a movie as two plus hours of abusive images and sounds.
