Review:
Evangelion 2.0 is a great movie. I liked it far better than the first movie. Asuka and Mari were introduced in the movie as well as EVA 2. EVA 2 is my favorite robot in Evangelion mostly because of Asuka. Best Action scenes were in this movie. I loved the animation. The soundtrack was amazing. The Story line was very good. The movie had a solid beginning and a solid end. Everything in between was just amazing. I seriously cant find anything wrong with this movie.
Overall Rate: 10/10
