Don’t get me wrong, I’m not upset by it, I’m just saying I’ve heard a lot of people that are.
And I’m certainly not saying it was a bad ending, I just personally would have ended it as she flew away because even though it was a pretty good ending with great music, it felt kind of tacked on to me rather than a natural ending point. In the theater I actually thought they would end it there, but then the movie kept going and I got confused for a second. It felt like such a natural ending point to end it as she flew off. That way they could set the sequel a few years after and it wouldn’t feel weird. They kind of put themselves into a creative corner where now the next movie pretty much HAS to take place almost immediately after this one.
