As soon as the movie premièred, shit started hitting the fan.
The trouble is that a lot of people watch it and decide it's more like

However, I do not see it as superior to the TV series. The TV series goes out of its way to make you feel the alienation of its characters, like you're viewing the story through their lens. The Rebuild movies almost feel too comfortable, too well-adjusted, without a sense of panic and paranoia like the TV series, without that awkwardness. It's too streamlined for its own good at times.
It compliments the TV show, but doesn't replace it.

Although I think he's reading too much into a quote from one of the seiyuu, nobody higher-up in the project appears to have any coherent ideas about Rebuild's purpose that are still applicable, so I also think there's merit in the idea. Anno's already done a character study on Shinji and the various reflections of his problem. He may be only in this for the money but I doubt he plans on repeating himself.
By the way, four 120+ minute movies wouldn't be too much shorter than the entire NGE series - although Anno evidently did not elect to take the 120+ minute route.
That was the impression given in some of the Complete Records interviews.
