How can we rank the "films"? There was only one film, which was released in 1989, I believe.

Wot? You make absolutely NO sense. Or are you attempting to be funny by pretending the Bay movies don't exist?

Yes. Now go to your room and don't play with yourself.

1. DOTM
Some of the best action in the series and I really enjoyed the tie-in with the Apollo missions. Not only my favorite TF film but one of my favorite movies ever. There are some moments that are cringy and didn't need to be there, but the positives far outweigh the negatives on this one for me.
2. TF07
While there isn't as much action in this one, It's still a great movie. One of my favorite things about this movie is how threatening the Decepticons are made to be - Blackout wipes out a military base in the beginning, Megatron kills Jazz and beats the tar out of Prime, it takes almost the entire Autobot team to take Brawl down, and Starscream puts dents in Ironhide and Ratchet at the same time after blasting Bee's legs off. This is one of the major things that I felt was missing from the more recent films, particularly TLK.
3. ROTF
This is a weird one for me. It has incredible scenes like the forest battle, Bee vs. Rampage, and Optimus vs. The Fallen that are awesome, but it just has so much of that vulgar humor in it that it really drags the film down. I own an edited version of the movie that cuts most of that out, it actually makes it a FAR better movie. I think I actually put ROTF at the bottom of the list in a previous ranking for that reason, but there are still some really cool scenes in this one.
4. TLK
While I do like this one, it has some things that bug me. Some are continuity things (like Hound showing up perfectly fine after Megatron blasts him in the junkyard), but a lot of my issues with the movie come from the fight scenes.The Bee vs. Prime fight was short and they showed almost every second of it in the trailers. My other main problem is with the Decepticons. With the exception of Megs and Barricade, the 'cons just act goofy and get sawed through like butter. There are some things I enjoyed, though. I liked the return of Lennox and Morshower, and the end with all the Autobots fighting Megatron was cool. It's lower on the list, however, because I didn't care much for the medieval storyline and the fight scenes were lackluster compared to the previous films.
5. AOE
This one has grown on me with time but it left me with an empty feeling walking out of the theater. I liked the idea of a smaller Autobot crew that we get more time with, but I didn't find the new Autobots to be as cool looking and interesting as the 'bots we got in '07. The pointless romance sideplot in this one is worse than the others, but I will say I think Mark Wahlberg is a better lead than Shia was. He at least doesn't scream as much. The film was kinda jarring for me at first with Ratchet being brutally killed and then with Prime threatening to kill humans (although I was totally fine with him killing Attinger in the end. He was shooting him to save Cade). The final fight was ok, seeing Bumblebee take on Lockdown was really cool, I just wish they hadn't used the Imagine Dragons song during the fight itself. Jablonsky's a great composer, just let him do his thing. Overall, my least favorite of the bunch - although I still enjoy it.
Although there are a lot of negatives on the lower parts of the list, I still really enjoy these movies and they're without a doubt my favorite part of Transformers. I didn't include the '86 movie but it would be after AOE because I just really don't like that movie.It is sad that the movies may be ending soon, but I can't wait for Bumblebee later this year. Who knows? Maybe it'll do really well and make them rethink the reboot. That being said, I have to give props to Michael Bay for these movies. I can't think of many directors who could've turned Transformers from a toyline in relative obscurity into a 6-movie series that's brought in billions of dollars.
