The Amazing Spider-Man is Amazing!

I had a bit of a film-tanstic Sunday, yesterday. I’m not one for watching movies or going to cinema.  Yesterday not only did I watch a movie [Nick and Nora’s Infinite Playlist] but I also went to the cinema and saw The Amazing Spider-Man, in 3-D no less. I’m a bit on the fence about 3-D, more about that later, perhaps.

So lets tackle Andrew Garfield as Spider-Man [well not literarily have you seen those abs]. Well I did a bit of research and it is ten years since a fresh faced Tobey Maguire popped on to the sliver screen as the spandex clad, wise cracking Superhero, we all know and love. This movie was the template for all Marvel and DC movie adaptations that followed!

Although gifs and pictures have been tumbling around social media sites of the new Spider-Man movie for nearly a year now, I really had no expectations for this movie. I know that this a reboot but when I found what that it was Gwen as the love interest and not Mary–Jane. I did think that this Spidey movie would be set in college. If my memory serves me correctly this is where he meets Gwen in the cartoon.

Nope, they are in highschool, aged seventeen which I must admit I thought it was a bit hard to swallow but I played along. After a quick IMBD search I can now reveal that Garfield is 29!

I really liked Garfield as Spidey. He pulls of the aloof geek character in charming manner rather than an annoying Edward Cullen manner. He also delivers the iconic sarcastic one liners excellently.

Not only can he be light hearted but so too can he pull of the more serious scenes as a tormented young soul. A typical teenager, in search of who he is! This movie I think plays more into the character development than the previous adaptations of Spider-Man! I love character development :) 

The graphics are AMAZING! How they ever made Rhys Ifans look like he only had one arm, without actually amputating it! I will never know. Dr Connor as the lizard was a bit scary! The scenes where Spidey was swinging across New York was soo cool!  

My favourite scene; the cheap tricks and accidental hick ups that happen when Peter Parkers powers first start to emerge!

Least Favourite scene; Cringe worthy kiss./ or smashing the camera! I’m camera sensitive!

Looking forward for the next one! Hope the baddies are SCARRIER!!

Yay or Nay  - YAY, Even if you are not a complete nerd and enjoy superhero movies, Andrew Garfield isn’t half bad! 

P.S. Look what I found;

Har Har Har:)

UPDATE 7 things for seven days!

I don't feel entirely satisfied as I hoped I would after completing this little project how and ever I will write my update of my 7 aims and my 7 more aims!!

1)Pinny on and up - Done and Done.

OOTD - Floral Dress to Brighten my Summers' Day

I wore this little number a few weeks. I was running into town to pick up a Father's Day pressie for my Dad!

This floral dress has slightly padded shoulders and an A line skirt. I love this dress and this was the first time I had worn it. I felt a bit dressed up just for the small town that I live in, so I throw a boyfriend blazer over it to make it more of a casual look.. This blazer picks up the pink and blue in the dress and brightens the whole outfit.

This dress is soo versatile and I will do a three ways to style this dress I think later in the month of July.

What I'm wearing;
Dress - Charity Shop find -€7 [originally Marks and Spencers about 20 years ago I'd say ]
Blazer- Pennys/Primark -€5-ish I bought it years and years ago!!
Belt- Pennys/Primark -€1
Necklace - A/wear - €5
Bracelet - Claire's Accessories- €??, this belongs to my sister. Fun Fact it is a replica of the bracelet Bella wore in New Moon, it's iconography is St. Jude.
Shoes- You can't see them or I had taken them off but they were green pumps by Clarks!
