Mockingjay Part 2's biggest mistake is being completely faithful to the book, considering that it is the worst one of the trilogy. They had the chance to make the story better but chose to stick to what they had. Being the final chapter of the story, it has emotional bits, but miserably (and unfortunately) fails to sell them, rushing the scenes which we were supposed to remember the most. However, its political and action turmoils are its best parts and were beautifully developed. After all, piecing the four movies together, it remains a good story.

This is exactly what I wanted to say, the movie is absolutely perfect, sadly it follows the story of the book too much and there lies it's downfall. I would have prefered it if the movie had gone with an open ending and just decided to leave out the closing part(s) of the book in order to get around the horrible ending presented in the books.

I'm sorry for taking too damn long to reply, I always forget to check these. And I agree with you. I believe giving it a "proper" ending is satisfactory because of all the years the franchise has taken to be completed, but it has its negative side since it's a poor one.

In fairness, I'd bet that Suzanne Collins had creative power over the screenplay and vetoed any rewrite of the ending (or would have), even though the ending is super cringe-y. Just cutting the time skip into the future would have made it better. And an open ending might have been just what the series needed, considering that there's the potential for a fifth film, according to Jon Feltheimer (Lionsgate CEO). But we're stuck with this.

@dgw Really? They're thinking about a fifth one? Are they really that insane (or should I say crazy for money)? That would be awful. I don't even believe Jennifer Lawrence would be up for that — and if she isn't, it would be a problem to promote it with a less known cast. Perhaps if they did a prequel it could be good, though. I feel like Haymitch and Effie stories should be very interesting to see on the big screen.

@aag Amazon X-ray showed the possibility of a fifth movie during the credits, but I also remember it being in the news back in February. It could be either a sequel or a prequel…but I'm with you that a prequel would be better. One of the other things that bothers me about the whole _Hunger Games_ series is the limited perspective. I know it's pretty common in YA stories, but we practically never see anything that Katniss isn't there for, because she's the protagonist. Doing a prequel set before Katniss was born would force the use of other characters' perspectives!
