Directed by: Sam Mendes
Starring: Ralph Fiennes, Judi Dench, Daniel Craig, Javier Bardem, Albert Finney, Ben Whishaw, Naomie Harris
M (Judi Dench) dies of a wound sustained during a confrontation against Silva's (Javier Bardem) troops at Bond's (Daniel Craig) childhood home and family estate in Scotland. Bond kills Silva. The agent (Naomie Harris) who accidentally shot Bond at the beginning of the movie reveals her name: Eve Moneypenny (who in the pre-rebooted Bond films was M's secretary at MI6). She decides to quit being a field agent and start working at a desk job. Bond continues working as a field agent and Mallory (Ralph Fiennes) becomes M's replacement.

Continuity mistake: In the scene in the National Gallery early on in the film where Bond meets Q, there is a line of bench seats they're sitting on. From behind, Bond's coat tail is barely covering the gap between two of the benches. From the front, though, his coat tail is further back, covering the gap almost entirely. (00:37:05)
James Bond: Everyone needs a hobby...
Raoul Silva: So what's yours?
James Bond: Resurrection.
Trivia: All of the scenes filmed for the London Underground, Temple and Westminster stations, were filmed at Charing Cross underground station.
Answer: Silva's objective was not just to kill M - if it was, he could have blown up her office with her in it when he hacked into MI6 the first time. He wanted to humiliate and terrify her by showing he could get to her again and again, whatever measures were put in place to protect her.
