Adele,SkyFall Review with GQ and Esquire Style Notes



I just left viewing the latest James Bond Movie, SkyFall. This is the 23rd
movie of this series. It is the 3rd installment with Daniel Craig in the lead
role as 007. This was a highly anticipated film since the last movie,
Quantum of Solace,premiered in 2008.
Bond is showcasing that he is human and has frailty this time around. He is
not as sharp as we have known him.  His nemesis is a former agent name
Silva. Silva is played by Javier Bardem. He has a grudge against M,(Judi
Dench) and is out to destroy the entire M16 unit.
The movie has breathtaking scenes that include a high speed chase
at the very beginning, and climatic battle at the finale.
The on location shots of Macao and Singapore are fantastic. The roles of
Mallory and Eve, played respectively by Ralph Fiennes and Naomie Harris,
prepare for the transition to the next installment.

James Bond's Wardrobe was provided by Tom Ford. This made me think about what style fits him better. Is it GQ or Esquire?
Esquire has the Big Black Book that is a style manual for successful  men.
GQ has the Style Guy that give tips for looking your best and succeeding
in the world.
Esquire covers a wider range of accessories that include watches and cars.
It also covers cocktails and shoes.
GQ does more with advice to men on their apartments and a segment on
how to flirt with women. GQ is tailored toward a younger clientele.
My thought is that Bond would be an Esquire Guy. He wears a nice gray
suit at the beginning of the movie that has a slim cut. Check him out when
he adjust his jacket after a leap thru the air.He sports a nice tuxedo when
he hits the casino in the middle of the movie.

Adele did a killer job on the theme song "SkyFall". It ranks up there with
"Goldfinger" and "For Your Eyes Only". I can't wait until the next Bond
adventure. This is a definite go see. Check the video of "SkyFall" below
and hear Adele rip it!
