Don't get your hopes too high for 3.33. It was ... zzzz.. I rated both 1.11 and 2.22 9/10's while 3.33 6.5-7.0/10. 3.33 is very devisive. You don't know how he will react to it since many fans seem to either love it or hate it. I personally loved 3.33. This is two months late but I'm a girl. |

I wonder what happened between Shinji and Rei; glad that Asuka is alive. I'll give it 10. learn from everyone elses mistakes, keep the amazing memory that was 2.0 and dont watch 3.0 it will leave a bad taste in your mouth, especially after how good 2.0 was |

| First part was okay, but this is just poor. A pool of cliches. Not to mention lack of any depth. It's just stupid mecha action. We have no idea why anything is happening. If original series isn't drastically different, this is one of the most overrated series ever, along with FMA:B. |

|
| Apparently this has grown on me a lot (judging by the first score i gave it). It's probably better having seen the aftermath in 3.0 (which people should definitely give a chance), though Mari's purpose still isn't very clear. At times 2.0 feels like NGE-lite but it's pretty awesome while you're watching it, and there's plenty to digest. |
Blackouting said: though Mari's purpose still isn't very clear. Out-of-universe's perspective: Mari's purpose is basically to "destroy Eva", which means that she "destroys" the typical character pattern (Broken, sad, depressed) in Eva. Another purpose of her is to offer fanservice to otaku's. Funny things is that Anno gave them this character( Ironically. He hates fanservice) so that he could kill her in the final battle, (Probably) and all fans go sad-mode. In-universe's perspective: Her plan is to pilot Eva and kick ass. OT: At first i didn't like 2.0 that much, because it was too lighthearted for Eva, but after seeing 3.0, i can see why Anno made it much more happy and nice: So that the shock in 3.0 would be more effective. Plus, Eva 2.0 looks much better in my eyes now. Anno had planned everything from the start. |

| yeah I'm entirely with you there I think it's the story having completely changed in 3.0 that makes me not mind about the original characters not being developed like they were in the series. It's not supposed to replace anything about NGE but build on it. I liked little things like the aquarium they went to anyway (well, it's a bit more than an aquarium). Only thing is, the time from 2.0 to 4.0 is a LONG time to wait to get Mari the development everyone else already had! I really want to see that damn film! |
| Finally got to around to watching this after my Blu-ray copy was delayed, and boy was it worth the wait, it has become one of my favorite anime films and is a huge and vast improvement over the TV series . Kind of worried about 3.33 now though , with some of the comments on here, but I remember the last third of the TV series wasn't very good anyway it was all pretentious shit, so if we take 1.11 as time-frame episode 1-9 or what ever, 2.22 as like 10-18, and 3.33 to 19-26 and 4.44 as EoE. Then 3.33 is just following the tradition of the end of the TV series i.e a pretentious pile of shit, with over convoluted plot points with lack of explanation or motives and mind screwy visuals. Which at then end of the day NGE is famous for. |

Which at then end of the day NGE is famous for. pretty much. only difference being the last few episodes had story redeemable content to work with. 3.0 really doesnt. you could have never seen the series, eoe or the 2 rebuild movies and it would still make just as much sense to someone who has seen it all. really, 1.0 was amazing, 2.0 was god tier. dont get your hopes up for 3.0 though, so many people did and ended up disappointed. and the cruel part is, the first 6 minutes sets it up to be even better than 2.0, then it goes drastically downhill from there. if anything it has some really nice music and a pretty decent soundtrack (not as good as 2.0s though) |

| Looks like they simplified the whole anime, which is sad because I was quite fond of the complexness of the story. It missed the mindfuckery and depth was lacking. Sometimes I had the feeling I was watching a regular blockbuster action mecha movie, not NGE. Sometimes it gave me the feeling I was watching TTGL in terms of craziness (Gainax, why you...). Not bad, but not as good as the originals. Definitely better than the first one, but simply because the first one basically recapped the first few episodes and this one gave its own "interpretation" as it were. Excited to see where the third one will be heading... |
| I just don't know what to say,this movie was soooo amazing! I can't even transim my feelings.I can't even compare this movie with what happened in anime!! This is just awesome!Love it :D |

You totally saved an hour or two of my life now! I don't believe you. not really a spoiler and you dont have to believe me, thats one of the many things people hated about the movie, thats why 1.0 and 2.0 are rated high 8.xx on MAL and 3.0 is 7.xx if you watch it yourself you'll see. its a real shame too, the preview in 2.0 for 3.0 actually looked fantastic. shame what we got was a completely different movie. |

| Geez, no matter how much I watch this movie it's still amazing. 4th rewatch and still so damn awesome! eldest said: its a real shame too, the preview in 2.0 for 3.0 actually looked fantastic. shame what we got was a completely different movie. Yeah it was different for sure, but who says that's a bad thing? I really like seeing the Eva series in a new light, it's refreshing. |

And also the last time I checked, people's opinions and tastes could be different. I personally like 3.0 and thought it was pretty damn good. If I wanted to watch the original series again, I'd watch the original series again. They did a good job drawing in the original crowd by making the first 1.5 movies true to the series, and did an even better job by re-envisioning the last movie and a half. I was definitely shocked by the differences and find it more exciting this way. Lackluster? There's not much wrong with the 3rd movie other than a disconnect from the original series. Yet, people have scored it solely on the premise of the movie being "different" from what they expected, more so than it's actual quality and impact. Approach it with an open mind, and maybe you'll find it more enjoyable. |
|
| people rated it lowly across the board. not just on MAL its rated lowest of the 3 rebuild movies so far by a mile (just go check the amazon JP reviews) and ive yet to find a place on the internet that unanimously enjoyed it unlike the first 2. the story was a joke of a mess. the entire cast consisted of nothing but absolute idiocy. no one talked to shinji. no one debriefed him. the entire movie could have been avoided if every single moron on the wunder had just taken more than 30 seconds to stop being passive aggressive to poor old shinji who had just returned from a 14 year old space coma. no one told him if he had saved rei no one told him why they were in a floating battleship 14 years into the future fighting what used to be the organization they all came from. rei was nothing more than an empty shell gendos entire script in the movie was essentially 'get in the robot shinji' karowu finally tells him whats actually happened 3/4 into the movie and pins the blame on a destroyed planet on a mentally unstable wreck, then has the bright idea to let him pilot an even stronger eva of course. things go to shit, shinji doesnt listen (can you blame him) and bam. another impact. but for some reason theres now literally billions of eva's and the planet has 2 giant eyes and a mouth and eva unit 2 is now a cat and eva unit 9 is essentially bardiel. and it all comes tumbling down again (but nowhere near as artistically perfectly as EOE did it) and i legitimately loved the first 2 movies, the series and EOE. i went into 3.0 unspoiled expecting what a fantastic movie like i saw in the 2.0 preview that looked legitimately amazing (eva unit 6 descending to terminal dogma with a halo above its head, mari deep within nerv with rei clones, who knows what she was doing, fuyutski (sp?) and gendo on a quest in the mountains, kaji pointing a gun at an unknown party, and eva unit 1 iconicly impaled by unit 06 above tokyo III) i wasnt the only one. and in the end we got the mess that was 3.0 at least it looked nice |

| Hey, whatever. To each their own. |
|
| I didn't dislike 3 to the extent eldest does, but I do share many of his sentiments. The film itself isn't horrible (yeah there are things that don't make sense, but what movie doesn't have its fair share of plot holes?). The major problem I have with it is that much of what I'd grown attached to were removed. Unlike some, I never really liked the characters in the original series. The show itself was very good but I could never like the protagonists - after all, if they didn't like themselves, then why should I? The second film in particular changed my view because the characters were developing. After watching a series that had the characters remain stagnant in the same problems over and over I welcomed the change. I had so many questions to look forward to; Will Asuka's contamination with the angel change alter her developing personality? How will they handle the consequences from the end? Will Shinji continue to become more independent? Will Rae continue to open up? I was left feeling very empty after 3.0, and it's not just because none of those questions got answered, but also because it dawned on me that they WON'T be answered. The movie series has gone down a different road and it's unlikely they will acknowledge any of what was in 1.0 and 2.0 for the last film. Suddenly the first 2 films lost meaning as had my anticipation - like having a show cancelled before a finale was made to give the audience closure. It left me slightly depressed. |

Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month. Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel. The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck. |
| Wow. That completely exceeded my expectations. I loved the animation, loved the extra development Asuka & Rei got, LOVED Mari, loved the music during the dummy plug cray-cray-on-Asuka scene, loved everything. It didn't feel like a hastily-put-together rehash of a couple episodes like the first movie did either. Bravo Anno. |
| Good movie. Approve. |
| Just finished it today and was blown away. |
| Time is money, but money won't turn back the clock. |
| Best of all the Rebuild of Evangelion movies so far. Biggest problem was probably that the character development in the middle part of the film felt too rapid. Otherwise, an improvement over the first one, and far superior to the third one. |

| God, that was awesome. The movie was great surpassing its prequel. so much action, emotion, drama/ I got a bit lost when the Unit 1 evolved (?) in the end and thus the third impact was created but my god how that fight scene with the 10th angel was intense, good to see Mari in action but I got shocked with what happened to Asuka, how did they not know it was an angel? Anyway definitely a 10 in my books, the animation, production and directing of this anime was simply done to masterpiece. Really forward to the next one which is really intriguing |

| Not bad for a second movie ^_^ |

| That was great :D I like it! It didn't make my head hurt like the NGE did lmao. Glad they finally gave Rei a better personality. In the tv series she's just there, you know like a tree lol I like anime-Asuka better though but that's something minor. Shinji grew up *sniff* So proud of you. I planned to watch 3.0 right after this but I read it's actually kind of confusing. After watching the last 10 episodes of NGE + EoE today, I think I'll give my brain a break and watch it some other day. |

| My Reviews and Rants: http://bunny1ov3r.wordpress.com/ 痛就是爱 |
| Pretty lame they skipped the kiss scene with Akusa from the tv series, /disappointed. |
| Re-watching this movie and remembering how good it was reminds me just how tragic it was that 3.0 stuffed up as badly as it did. |
 |
| This movie never stops to amaze me every time i re watch it ! |
| Wow, wow, this movie is epic. The character developments that I wanted from Rei and Asuka are. I'm glad that Asuka is not annoying that much than her personality in the original series. Mari rocks, she's a completely baddass. As same from Shinji at the final minutes, my gosh, the Third Impact. |
| The world shall know the truth soon. |
| The fight scenes were obviously way better than in the original. And there were some nice scenes here and there that could have nicely fit into the original but the said original is still a lot better. |
 |
| I just finished this movie a few hours ago, and I'll be honest, the ending left a terrible taste in my mouth. The sudden convenience of Shinji's Eva getting all that power just because; the lack of coherence in what was going on and why the third impact suddenly started when it was clearly stated earlier that it should only begin if Lillith was contacted by an Angel, which didn't happen; and the absolutely HORRIBLE dialogue Ritsuko was given in a half-assed attempt to justify any of the stuff going on on-screen. The first film seems like the better overall film to me now because it was more consistent. It didn't do a good job for most of it only to have the ending be executed piss-poorly, like this movie did. Why this movie is considered a masterpiece by so many escapes me when the ending is this cringeworthy. Maybe I'm just really sour about it right now because I just finished it and I need time to calm down. It's possible. But man, did that ending get under my skin. |

| Another great movie. Man the action in this movie was fantastic, I was on the edge of my seat the entire time! The new character than appeared was sexy too. 3rd impact is about to begin in the next movie huh? Can't wait to see what happens next! |
 |
| Okay, now things are just getting a little too ridiculous. Also, while Shinji isn't as much of a whiner in the Rebuilds, they made him seem like some cliche shounen main at the end there. I also thought it was odd that Nerv could track and understand what was going on to Unit 1, because if they knew it was possible for all of that to happen why would they build evas to begin with. I dunno, the whole plot for the Rebuilds seems much more wobbly than the original. |
| amazing asuka's introduction felt a bit rushed but the movie provided so much character developement for rei mari feels like a little side story made by a mecha fan. little to do with anything (as of now) but goes nuts and provides the viewer with some sweet action my god do i prefer shinji in the rebuild version. the ending here also makes the third impacct more believable. going from the series to end of evangelion and the third impact in eoe just was too much of a difference in supernatural shit happening well fingers crossed that the third and fourth movie do not disappoint overall i really like how different it is to the series. it really gives people two alternate versions. while the series focused on what was going on in the heads of the characters, the rebuild movies are more about what is actually happening |
| That was surprisingly good. The animations qulity is excellent and the actions are great. Charaktere are good,but feel a bit rushed,especially the new girl. All I know about he is that she is weird. The story was good and many outstanding moments,but never the end the story lost me. |
