Either it is Eva, or it isn't.

But that's the other way around. In general, if you take any American
rework of foreign movies (for example, French ones, ie: Nikita->Nina)
it'll be either inferior to the original or great, but very distant
from it (in this particular case, I'm taking as example Kurosawa's
Seven Samurais and the US movie The Magnificent Seven).

But, Eva not being about 'action'...
