I was hoping that this would be a general sentiment - that anyone is
welcome to try to outdo each other, using the same concept, as long as
the concept itself is credited. I mostly agree with the "technical"
parts of the major review groups. I usually won't stick my neck out
critiquing opinions and storylines, though.

Isn't that true for most jobs? :-)

It was awful. Ok, the nine "production EVA" units _were_ foreshadowed,
as were their S2 cores, but *copies* of the Lance? No way. Regeneration?
Where the hell did that come from? Tha whole scene was there purely to
destroy Asuka and Shinji. (As were the 13th, 15th, 16th and 17th angels.
Number 14 _should_ have been a morale booster.)

The actual "event", in the second half, was mind-boggling in its
surrealism - whoever chose the music was severely twisted. Towards the
end of the sequence, I was almost ready to just skip forward - get it
over with, already, they're dead anyway, you don't need to show us all
of it.

And the final end, where you're starting to think it might be okay
anyway (as in the TV ending), is the main character trying to choke the
only other survivor? Ick!

(Plus, the sexual references had nothing to do in that film whatsoever.
Why put them in, they didn't _add_ anything?)

I don't think there'll be any sequels - and I'm not hoping for any. The
few possible continuations to _that_ have already been done, one way or
another. I simply want to erase that thing from my mind. So there.

(I think I've sprouted enough horns and cloven feet for today. )
