This looks like promising feedback. Comparisons to TF1 and Bumblebee are also very good, as IMO those are the only movies where the human stuff actually blended with the TF action well.

People from or around Brooklyn tend to be big fans of it (in my experience, at least). New Yorkers in general tend to be pretty proud of anything overtly NY based too (not to same extent as people from Philadelphia, but still...).

I know several people who'll be swayed to see this movie due to the emphasis on the Brooklyn setting.

Paramount is ramping up the ad campaign, keeping it tight and concentrated with the bulk of it happening the month leading up to the film's release. Today, they released a featurette highlighting the location of Machu Picchu. Here we see new shots from the film featuring this location and interviews about filming the scenes. We also get a fun tidbit that this is supposedly the first Hollywood production to be filmed there and that the film was blessed by a Shaman.

Enjoy!

It may seen like a small deal, but I really like the fact the movie got a blessing from a local shaman. It suggests that they didn't only use the area as filming location, but they were in good terms with the poplulation and showed respect to people as a whole.

The hype for the film is growing in as me as the release date gets closer.

I searched the news tab to see if this was posted before, Steven Caple Jr. has said that Optimus Prime's face in this movie is modeled after Peter Cullen likeness.

Okay, so if it doesn't do well, it's the shaman's fault?

Do you really want to try and blame a shaman? That's a sure fire way to get cursed by evil flesh-eating voodoo dolls...

The Premiere for Rise of the Beasts took place in Singapore earlier today, and it was followed by a news conference where all kinds of questions were asked and answered. You can see the full conference HERE thanks to Reuters on Twitter but here is a breakdown of the more spoiler stuff (do not read beyond this if you want to avoid spoilers):

- There are no Decepticons in the film. The scene of Optimus vs a Decepticon in Brooklyn was removed from the final film. So for all those who doubted how they could fit all those factions in

- The film is officially said to not be a reboot. While it can be said to be a sequel to Bumblebee or a prequel to the Bay films, or even a stand alone film, the panel wanted to make it clear that this is not a reboot.

- Lorenzo di Bonaventura gives a really reductive take on Ironhide. Not a spoiler, but something I wanted to highlight because it really stirred me the wrong way.

- The end credit scene is a hint to a future crossover between Transformers and GI Joe

- There was a planned scene for Charlie, from the Bumblebee movie, to appear but it did not happen. She could be back for a future installment.

I don't consider these to be true "spoilers".
Nothing crucial here.

I remember my Brony days and a key element of a trio of ponies was they were looking for their butt-tattoos to appear, symbols that will decide their future. They were looking for it for at least 2 seasons and that was their main drive.
I could only see the episodes on the Seven Seas, way after they were released.
Of course I go to youtube.
Of course a prominent clipper appear in my recommended.
Of course there was the bold title complete with the obvious in-your-face thumbnail yelling "THEY FOUND THEIR BUTT-TATTOO". #-o

The parallel would be imagine if the internet existed in 1986 with youtube, and there would be a bold title complete with the picture, "OPTIMUS FUKKING DIES!" :-(

Now, THAT'S spoilers.

That actually kind of happened. At least half of that movie's trailers and commercials from back then all alluded to Optimus's death (saying "DOES PRIME DIE?!!"), instead of keeping it secret.

Going by what's been said about the movie both before and after release, this is one I'm definitely passing on. (Which is too bad; I grew up on Beast Wars as a child and was curious to see how they'd work on the big screen despite being Bayformers.)

Yeah, I with you. Regardless of the main plot and other characters, I don't have a good feeling about the Maximals. Maybe towards the end they'll reveal at least 1 or 2 Predacons.

You fear the AoE Dinobots treatment?
Meaning just a side-note in the movie and that's it?

Precisely. As well as the DoTM Megatron/Shockwave treatment.

I have a feeling these Beasties will be of the WFC-K ilk rather than the originals.

I rather the BW characters get their own movie/limited series, even if it's straight to Blu-ray/streaming.
