M tells Bond that Greene was found dead in the desert, 2 bullet holes in his head and oil in his stomach (lol). Bond, finaly able to forgive Vesper, walks off into the snow after dropping her necklace in the snow.
This movie was not as good as Casino Royale IMO. It has alot of action, but the plot felt a little hollow to me. The Mr. White thing isn't really wrapped up(you see him at Tosca, but thats it.) The stunts and music where great too. Over all, I have to give the movie 4 stars. It would be 5, but like i said, the plot just feels a little weak.
