Review of Evangelion: 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo

The beginning of this movie was complete arse if I'm being honest. I had no idea what the fuck was going on, since the whole cast you know and love experienced a 14-year timeskip that changed their characters (I'm looking at you Misato). The closer it got to the end, the more I did enjoy the movie though. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw Asuka in beast-eva-mode (wich is my new fetish I guess). But I was highly dissapointed with Mari and Rei, since Mari is the most unnessecary character in this movie and Rei only has 2 lines to say ("I don't know" and"That's an order").

Since Mari was my new favourite character from this series after seeing 2.0, again, I was really dissapointed with her. She only says some 1-liners and does some minor actions that have 0 impact on anything. Even when the 4th fucking impact is happening she's just chilling and slurping some juice while Asuka and Misato's crew are putting their lives on the line to stop it.

Kaworu was our old Kaworu as we know him, nothing against him. He's probably the best part of this movie if you ask me, for that reason only. Funny how he reminded me of Your Lie in April.

The action scenes are what made me give it a 7, since the story was kinda 'eh' compared to the other 2 movies. I expected a bit more.

I really hope 3.0+1.0 has some more cool beast-eva scenes, and I'm looking forward to it. Imo, this movie is the worst one of the (soon-)tetralogy.

edit: this was a 6 at first, but I can't keep myself from rewatching the final 15 minutes of this movie. It's epic as fuck. I changed my score to a 7.
