Looks great!
I've really enjoyed the Hunger Games films and I'm looking forward to this one. Great teaser.
I think if they can pull off a successful adaption of Mockingjay, Lionsgate will really have a home run on their hands. If not, hopefully it won't be too bad. But I'm currently placing my bets on a win. 
I don't have any experience with the books and naturally some elements were tweaked a bit for cinematic purposes, but the majority of folks I know feel the movies have been very faithful to the original story, and that's always a plus. They've had a great cast to work with as well.

I'm in the process of reading book right now, and a lot of those scenes are taken directly from it. It's always a relief when I can recognize almost all of the scenes in a trailer for an adaptation.
The only scene that is definitely not in the book, is the conversation between Plutarch (Phillip Seymour Hoffman) and President Coin (Julianne Moore). The books are told in first person from Katniss perspective, so any scene she's not in is not from the books.

Glad to see they didn't edit out / re-cast Hoffman. I saw a review of his latest movie and someone said it was his last screen appearance, guess not.
He filmed one or two films after Mockingjay, but those were released earlier. This is definatly his last movie to be released in cinemas, AFAIK.
Maybe its just me, but I totally could not understand most of the story just from watching the first two movies without reading the books. The movies just felt like a series of disjointed scenes that failed to weave together a coherent story. It is as if the writers and producers assumed the viewer has already read the books and just filmed the major scenes without connecting the dots for the viewer. It was only after I've read the books that the first two movies actually made sense to me.
The first two teaser trailer for Mockingjay reinforces this. Unless you've read the books, would you have no idea why President Snow and Peeta are standing together speaking about the glory of Pan Am. Or what's so important about the second teaser trailer's pirate message, "The Mockingjay lives".

That looks amazing. Glad to see that they didn't have to cut down Hoffman's role.
Man, how come they never taught us how to shoot down planes in archery class?
Peeta remains completely useless and detrimental. Can't he construct a rudimentary lathe out of cake mix and frosting (his preferred medium) and escape the Capitol on his own?

I'm really not sure if you're being serious or not, have you read the books?
No, I'm not being serious, and no, I haven't read the books.
I was looking at the total sales figures for both movies the other night, and they're pretty impressive as a combined total (about a billion and a half dollars altogether). The first film made close to seven hundred million and Catching Fire made between eight and nine hundred million, so if things continue with the same level of quality I think Lionsgate will have a great series under their belts.
