A "new concept" using the "old concept".

Warning: Spoilers
Alright, this is my first review about a movie, so, let's get into business. I'll try to speak minimal spoilers and be brief as possible.

The Evangelion 2.0 (or Evangelion 2.22 in American English and Brazilian versions) is a new concept of the story of Evangelion. For those who were used to Evangelion series, this movie really breaks with the old series, with an entirely new plot, and a new course of actions during the movie.

We got 2 new characters who makes this movie great, and they are Mari Illustrious Makinami and Asuka Langley Shikinami. With a great sense of humor and something crazy, Mari shows great movements and great battles, which is great for a whole new character, who had never appeared before in this series. Asuka has gotten a new design and a new personality that really thrown me inside the movie. Differently from the Asuka from the anime, this Asuka shows a little more maturity, and also some optimism, what breaks that atmosphere dark and pessimistic what the original series had.

At last, Shinji also got a further development of his personality in this movie, showing a more brave, fearless and determined Shinji than the one of the series, who was coward, pathetic and depressive.

As a sequel from Evangelion 1.0, this movie was really great, with the good things the anime had (like the amazingly designed battles and the fantastic soundtrack), and the new included features that improved the plot and the characters.

For anyone who has seen the original series and the Evangelion 1.0, this sequel is astounding, and makes everyone to wish to see the 3rd part, with high expectations for the end.
