Skyfall


 Hi there. Today I finally went to see the new James Bond movie and oh my, it was incredible! It was just perfect, everything was done so well. Don't worry, I won't spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it. I've never done a movie review before and I'll hopefully do more as I have no social life so I spend a lot of time watching movies. I'm going to split the review into three sections, cast, story and clothes/hair/makeup.
 The cast did a marvelous job and they all played their parts so well. I've only seen Daniel Craig and Pierce Brosnan play James Bond so I don't think I can call myself a Bond fan but I am a Daniel Craig fan and I think he does an amazing job at playing James Bond. Craig really gives the Bond character a bit of a dark side which really shows through in this movie. I think Craig really shows that Bond is only human like all of us and that it's okay if we all get hurt sometimes, both physically and mentally. I think Javier Bardem played the villain (Silva) excellently. I much prefer when the villain is a bit mental, it just makes the character much more interesting and it makes everything more exciting, Bardem did a brilliant job. Judy Dench obviously does an amazing job at playing M or she wouldn't have been playing her for the past 17 years. Naomie Harris (Eve) and Bérénice Marlohe (Sévérine) are two stunning girls in the movie. They both play very different characters but play them both so beautifully. Ben Whishaw plays the extremely cute Q. He brings so much youth to the movie but he also brings so much intelligence as he is the brain in the movie. I think the cast was picked so brilliantly and everyone did such an amazing job.
 The story to this Bond movie is so dramatic and exciting. I think this movie shows us more of James Bond as a person and it focuses a lot on his character instead of his amazing ass-kicking skills. Don't worry, there is still has a hell of a lot of action but it has a perfect balance between the drama and the action. It really does keep you excited all the way through the movie. I was not expecting it to end the way it did, at all. It was a nice ending just very unpredictable.
 When you think of James Bond you probably think of handsome men in amazing suits but there are also beautiful women with gorgeous dresses and amazing makeup. Bérénice Marlohe is who I'm going to talk about makeup, clothes and hair wise. My favourite one of her outfit was the backless, black dress she wore. It had a beautiful design and she pulled it off so well. I also loved her makeup in this scene. She had quite a dramatic smokey eye with a deep lip which I adored. Marlohe has the most amazing hair. When we first see her she has her hair down and it's long and wavy. Then, when she is wearing the backless dress she has her hair pinned up into a faux bob which she wore incredibly well and it showed off the design on the back of the dress beautifully. I can't talk about the clothes in Skyfall and not mention James Bond's amazing suits. Who doesn't love a man in a suit, especially when it's Daniel Craig.
 Overall, I think Skyfall is an amazing movie and it's my favourite of the Daniel Craig Bond movies. If you're planning on going to the cinema this is definitely a movie everyone should see. Thanks for reading :)
