It had a plot (a prince seeking to overthrow the empire his father built in order to unite the world and offer all humans peace; a great plot, in my mind) and tons character development (almost every character ended up making decisions that conflicted with their morals from the beginning of the series).
Because it's cool to hate on popular things.
Also, on the topic of character development and that one guys "cool fights" comment, I don't get why you guys are flipping shit and freaking out about Evangelion 3.0 not having enough time to develop characters. Honestly it's tiring going on this forum and reading "THIS MOVIE'S GONNA BE BAD BECAUSE MARI'S IN IT AND SHE'S UNDERDEVELOPED BLAH BLAH BLAH." You've only seen what, 10 minutes of her? Of course she's 'underdeveloped.' She hasn't gotten any screentime. You have no idea what she's going to really be like, don't you guys realize we haven't seen her outside of a fight scene? You see Asuka in her fight scenes and think "wow she's so confident and cool" then you see her laying in bed talking to a puppet and think "wow she's so fucked up."
Seriously give the damn movie a chance to come out before saying it's bad and the characters aren't going to be developed. Shinji and Rei have both changed a lot since the beginning of 1.0, and Asuka changes a lot with the (admittedly small) screentime she gets in 2.0. Same with Misato, even. They all develop.
Also, there's still 4.0 and we don't know if it's all gonna come tumbling down or if there's going to be a new ending, (Which I'm willing to bet there will be a new one) so you need to count in that for character development, too.
Anyway, on the topic of the plot of the movie, am I the only one that's expecting MarixAsuka to become canon? I can seriously see it happening, with there being a friendly rivalry, then they get into a screaming match that ends in an angry make-out session.
They did say this one would split the fanbase. So I'm willing to bet either ShinjixKaworu (More likely) or MarixAsuka becomes canon.
(I don't support the ReixShinji ship so I'm not saying anything there.)
