Look, as much as I love movies with chases and explosions, even I have my limits.  Specifically, I grew tired of the "Transformers" movies-two or three films ago.

That being said, I will always have a soft spot in my heart for them.  You see, my son LOVES them; and when he was little, and I took him to see the original "Transformers,"  I'll never forget him sitting in the seat (feet barely clearing the seat), muching popcorn, and turning to me to say, "Dad, this is the greatest day of my life."

It's the little things. <g>

This is like the 5th or 12th movie in the series now, and the first to be a "spinoff" as this one strictly deals with my boy's FAVE Transformer, "Bumblebee."

Why do I get the feeling I'll be back sitting with him watching this?
