12 Things You Learn Rewatching Skyfall

1. M Is The Ultimate Bond Girl

In Bond girl stakes, Skyfall seems like a pretty tepid affair on the surface of things: Sévérine gets a problematic treatment and has a pretty small role, while Moneypenny doesn't really count (especially as she spends most of the movie behind a desk).

What some might fail to realise, then, is that M is Skyfall's real Bond "girl". Sure, she may not be as young or sexy as most conventional Bond girls, but she's absolutely integral to the movie's narrative and has a decades-old link to the villain, which is surely enough to let her qualify.

After all, it's never been a strict rule that Bond needed to be romantically involved with a woman for her to be a Bond girl - just look at Camille Montes (Olga Kurylenko) in Quantum of Solace - so those underwhelmed by the movie's female quotient might want to look a little closer.

With her mix of intelligence and sass, she's really the ultimate Bond girl, and has stronger character development than almost all of them combined.
