The second one was the most awful cinema / movie experience I ever had. I can easily recommend Edward Wood Jr.'s "Plan 9 from outer space" over that tripe. The stereo types are so old fashioned and insulting I don't get how someone didn't put a stop to releasing it. Shame really as Bay did some good stuff in his day "The Rock", "Armageddon" (Love it) and of course the stunning Bat 2 videos. How in Heaven's name Spielberg is wasting his time with him now after Transformers 2 only indicates they are only it for the money which is literally bizarre coming from the man who made Schindler's List, Jurassic Park, ET and Jaws. It probably indicates that money making changes people more than they will admit. It's really a shame that cinema detracts THAT far away from making something interesting / fun / creative / artful. It really does not get any worse than that in my opinion. How the high flyers can fall so low is just staggering really. Awful, awful franchise. First one was watchable, interesting at best. Shia Labeouf is overrated too and really just a face rather than a good actor in my opinion. Disgusting offensive money making rotten heart rubbish.
Back to the first post, lol, It's probably a wink at the song as usually the line reads "Objects in the rear view mirror are closer than they appear" on a car mirror in the US.
