I agree that the story over both movies was way too long. Mockingjay is actually the shortest book in the series, so it didn't make much sense to split it in two. On the other hand I liked that we got more time with a couple characters who up to that point had largely been ignored (Liam Hemsworth, Katniss's sister Primrose) because of what happens to them at the end.

***SPOILERS***
Yeah, not so much in Part 2. My other issue with that is that her death seems rushed and confusing. Because I read the book I knew that she was part of a team of rebel medics that helped the wounded in the Capitol, but I don't think that was ever really explained in the film. She just kind of pops up for half a second before getting blown to smithereens, and that's arguably the most important moment in the entire series (this whole story began, after all, because Katniss didn't want her sister to die). For a two-part installment that's unconscionably long as it is, there was no reason that they couldn't have spent more time on that.
