I wasn't too peeved about it because, honestly, Carrie and Mr. Big deserve each other [I say in a snarky way].

And I didn't see the second movie either. My reaction was "Geez, why in the hell do any of us need another one." I was satisfied with the end of the series. That worked for me.

Like the Buffy comics, I don't think the movies have added productively to the original. It was better off having been left the heck alone.
