The Transformers: The Movie compared with Michael Bay's (2007 "Transformers"), the original "Transformers" is the better film," wrote John Swansburg of "Slate". "[T]here's nothing even approaching the original's narrative depth. The good guys beat the bad guys, and no one we care about is harmed in the process—the movie hasn't succeeded in making us care about anyone." Gabe Toro of "CinemaBlend" wrote in 2014: "..."Transformers: The Movie" otherwise provides the sort of chase-heavy thrills that comes from robots that can become cars. Contrast that with Michael Bay's vision, where the robots basically abandon their transforming skills to have endless, violent punch-outs that annihilate cities.
