The 1st 5 minutes were definitely the best 5 minutes of any Transformers movie. I wish there was more on Cybertron, though... that was kind of a tease what with a LOAD of cameos and action and whatnot in the beginning and then they go to Earth and there's Blitzwing and Bumblebee and that's cool but then after that there isn't much action until the finale.
I quite liked it; it's a bit difficult to compare to the Bay movies since they're so different, but I'd say the story and character arcs in this one are easily the best, but I have two complaints, one major and one minor. MAJOR: A lot of the side characters are really cartoony or overly one-dimensional in their characterization, even down to the goofy music in the background. It's kind of like something I'd expect from a made-for-TV Disney movie. Minor: Not quite enough action for me.
My ranking of all the TF Live Action Movies, then, in order from favorite to least-favorite:
-DotM
-AoE
-TF1/Bumblebee (tie)
-RotF
-TLK
