A horrible comparison, seeing as Avatar wasn't even a little good xD.RoE 2.0 is some like Avatar, really nice to admire everthing what u see and what u hear but if u come to storyline u dont know what to say Though I understand your point, as the storyline is somewhat messed up ^^; |

You don't hand over untested weapons to the rookie. On top of that having Asuka in unit 3 gave it alot more depth, it was pretty bold of him to take out a main character early on in the story. No Karou isn't coming to help them, I don't even know what your even trying to get at. also the original storyline was fucking terrible so I dunno what your trying to fault it for |

Jigero said: This. I'm pretty sure I had to go back and rewatch that episode to try to make some sense of why Toji was piloting anything. It made absolutely no sense. It's a lot better this way. And as always, I don't really know everything that's going on in the story, as it's a little hard to follow, but it is in no way horrible.Forrest said: +Nice looking animation +Good music +Mari -Storyline is seriously horrible, yeah i know this is Rebuild and there have to be some changes but ffs....

| WWWWWHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA wait, wait WWWWWWWHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTT Also, adding the little kid songs was meant to evoke the same sense of pure despair and finality that 'Komm, Sußer Tod' did. It didn't work >_> Kickass movie nonetheless. |

| So I just saw the part after the credits... But seriously, this is getting strange, and I'm not sure if it's good or not yet |

ftiki88 said: Anyways, rumors are that Quickening is supposed to air in the Japanese theaters during the summer. Perhaps a little too optimistic, but I heard that it is because 1.0 and 2.0 did so well that the studio put a "no budget cap" on Quickening. So the gap isn't supposed to be as bad as with 1.0 and 2.0. But who knows if that's true or not. Either way, I can't wait for Quickening... Time to buy a new computer! 1080p BD on a top-of-the-line machine.... /drool |

| I don't understand how you're drooling over something that you can't even decide if it's good or not. |
| I'm intrigued by Kaworu's words.Maybe the world was reset after the events of End of Eva...That would make it even more awesome. |

Meddigo said: drooling over the animation quality :PI don't understand how you're drooling over something that you can't even decide if it's good or not. There's no question as to whether or not I like the movie, I just can't decide whether or not I like it relative to the old series... which is probably a silly thing to do. It's hard to get a feel for the new stuff after watching the original for 13 years, you know? I'll probably feel different after a re-watch. |

| Wow. Shinji's balls actually dropped. Didn't think I'd live to see that. Still, I'm sure he'll revert to being a whiney pussy shortly into movie three. :P |

That make a lot of sense kinda a lot like retake was and i love that manga it has in my mind the true eva ending. What can i say im a sucker for happy endings. |
| The only problem I had with this was the MASSIVE amount of fan-service. I knew it'd happen with Asuka and all, but it honestly could have done without it. It just made some scenes really awkward... :/ Other than that... I can't even find words that accurately describe how... amazing... this... brb, re-watching. |

Still a great movie though. I can't stop re-watching the action scenes now. |
| The fanservice wasn't that bad. |
| Someone needs to make a "Haters Gotta Hate" motivator using a scene from 2.22. |
| twas awesome |
| oh boy what there to be hated... the whole things was awesome... fuck, I'm speechless... fanservice ? that always to be GAINAX trademark you know. but yeah I feel kinda awkward too with the change, but who cares, this shit AWESOME, will buy the BD for sure. 10/10 at least until the rate overtake that overrated-movie-that-even-everyone-not-watch-it-yet |

Something possibly worth noting:  Anybody else noticed how Unit 02's head vaguely resembles a customize MP EVA (those unstoppable winged big-mouthed white freaks in End of Evangelion)? @Dilvish: Definitely one of the movie's highlights.

zeropi said: the hell is wrong with these directors? they f#@$%^ up my childhood with just too songs out of place, the scene where shingi fights the unit 03 was supposed to have that old but awesome song from the original series, then the last angel fight had that song for a while, just to replace it with the same stupid song from before. the hell is up with that? Oh, it was SUPPOSED to have the song from the original series was it? I guess you're the director instead of Anno then? |

| 10/10 just wow'd me. Animation is just purely amazing. Best I've seen. Action scenes were so intense that it got me teared up. Mari' using "the Beast" was freakn bada55! |
   |
| ^I agree. This movie was amazing. I 've already watched it twice. Every aspect of the series was of the highest quiality. The only flaw is that the soundtrack is not completely new I think. Some songs are the same (or similar) to the first movie. |
| A very good and solid movie. The animation was great except some of the CG used looked really "fake" and not fitting with what was "drawn" within the scene. That's a minor complaint but nothing big on the visual front to complain about. I do like how they give Rei a more emotional character than her doll like, cold television counterpart as if they left her cold in the movie it would not have worked as well as everyone has changed in their overall character whether you think it's for the better. Shinji being a more angry person toward his father works better than if he were to simply just sulk and be depressed (not that I hated that within the television series but it simply wouldn't fit with this) and it is nice to see Gendo not be as cold and menacing. To be honest, Maris introduction has little impact for me. She had 15-20 minutes of screen time with the first 5 of it being her in Eva Unit 05 to show it getting destroyed, parachuting into Japan, and then her hijacking of Eva Unit 02 to try and stop the angel due to no other pilot available. It seems as if anybody could have been thrown into that role and comes off as a bit inconsequential but with 2 more movies to go, I can see her role increasing greatly so for now, it's not that big of an issue either as you still need the two other films. The story is solid and done well but it isn't great nor as amazing as the television series. For a almost 2 hour long film, it does move at a really fast pace which in a way is a good thing as it covers a lot of ground quick but some scenes just seem really disjointed. Like going from this touching scene with character development between Asuka and Shinji or Rei to a scene at school that really amounts to 2-3 minutes of nothing important to a new big occurrence happening. Moments like that really take away from the flow of the film. I do wish in a way that plot wise that Asuka was killed, it would fuel Shinji's anger a bit more and put NERV in an even bigger hole then they're already in. But that's nothing huge either. Overall, I'd say it was solid and well done, but some minor things keep it from being completely amazing and some quibbles with the story flow keeps it from being amazing. I'll probably rewatch it tomorrow so I can gain more, clearer thoughts. Score: An even 9.0/10 |
| It was soooo EPIC! It's just overflowing with epicness! I have no words to describe how i felt while watching it...especially during the battle against the bomb angel...it's just too awesome. 10/10 |
 "Only the dead have seen the end of war". ~Plato~ |
| i saw this and i wondered why i had wasted my time watching crappier anime's. 10/10 Give me moar. |
| @Martin I agree with you on the Mari thing, she just kinda appears, fights, and then leaves, but her role will probably be expanded upon in the next film. |

| Lol, these are really beasts. It was good. Top-notch animation as always. Gainax is good at this. I expected way more different things but this puts fairly well. I would rewatch it just as the first one. |

| I'm worried about Asuka in THAT scene just like Shinji. But then I'm happy again after ending credit. ^^ I think this episode is so awesome. I've got a lot of emotions while watching this. |

| Truly epic |
 |
| You and possible love interest choking each other while a children's song about friendship plays: Classic. You Ripping said person to shreds and grinding their body with your teeth standing their blood dripping from your moth while...a rainbow appears: Classic. Kaworu shoving the lance of longinus in your back while you happen to be embracing your love, and then promising to make you happy while avoiding the end of the world: A sunny mix between epic and drop dead Hilarious. Random Girl Blowing up WMD, Skydiving in your face, and then being awesome before being ripped to shreds in a beast mode WMD that just so happened to have a secret code-word no one else knew: ...indifferent. 10/10 Kaworu Kaworu Tasukette Kaworu Kaworu Kaworu Tasukette Almost fell out my seat when I saw the red-did eye-bomb. |
| Excellent movie. The music was awesome. I can't get enough of Mari. |
 |
| I hardly stomach mecha, but this time... damn, that was one of the best movies I've ever seen. Totally epic. And this genre shift in the middle of the film... wow. Just wow. 10/10: for art and awesome cgs, for the music that soothes one's heart, for the excellent plot and for the already mentioned genre shift that made my jaw drop to the floor. Amazing. Truly amazing. |
     |
| I loved it, especially how they gave rei more emotion. Mari was awesome too. |
  |
| Amazing. It's funny to see Rei, Asuka, and Shinji changing in this remake. It's something that I like to see, but I hope the characters don't become unrecognizable. I am a bit more weary... |

So wait, you have problem with the fanservice in an anime movie that openly stated at the end of each movie." THERE WILL BE PLENTY OF FAN SERVICE!" and it's actually toned down the face service from the original. Seriously, kill your self. |

| Concidering all the hype I was slightly disapointed. It just didn't get to me. Also it lacked Asuka... I like her a lot more with her hair down... |

Oh yes, how DARE they cut off a 2 minutes and 10 seconds long tune after 2 minutes and 10 seconds?! And really? You're complaining about them "replacing" the music in a scene that DIDN'T EXIST IN THE ORIGINAL CONTINUITY? Additionally a scene that just happened to be the single most beautiful moment in this entire franchise? Is this really the kind of music you'd want to hear in the background while Shinji thanks Rei for everything she'd done for him up to that point? |
