Evangelion: 1.0 You Are (Not) Alone at Alamo Drafthouse in Houston....

But the Shinji in the series is a different character than Shinji in the movies. It's a bit subtle in 1.0, but 2.0 there's a definite difference along with the other pilots. If you want a reference, he's more of the manga Shinji with less sarcasm.
 
Peter Jackson's films and the animated ones are both very different interpretations. Some homages seeing as Jackson was somewhat influenced by the Bakshi movie, but the Jackson ones are much better paced and developed, are different in terms of characterization, and aren't bogged down by awful visuals.

The Harry Potter movies had varying degrees of faithfulness and were close to the books plotwise, but they're still separate entities from the books and, while the first two are somewhat tied down to the books and the fourth was a fairly bad adaptation, have entertainment value of their own. This a given with most book-to-movie translations, since there's a pretty huge difference between telling a story through prose and telling one through acting, cinematography, set design, and special effects. TV and movies are more similar in the basic tools used to tell a story; the main difference between the mediums is a matter of how a story can be paced. 1.0 simply didn't have what it takes for a successful conversion from a TV show to a movie.



The problem is that with 1.0 is that at least 85% of it IS a clipshow of NGE, and it's not as if the remainder was outstandingly brilliant. Who knows? Maybe I'll love 2.0. It certainly sounRAB a lot more interesting than 1.0.
 
Agreed. In fact, the only thing I felt was "poorly paced" in the movie was the part where Shinji ran away, and then came back like, two minutes later after having been shown walking around for a little while. I don't think it would have killed them to have that scene last longer. And I guess Touji isn't as well-developed, but considering what I've heard about 2.0, he doesn't need to be either.

Also, I thought this movie was far more enjoyable than the TV-series ever was. Why? I don't know, but while I actually found the TV-series rather frustrating to watch most of the time, I really liked this movie. So they must have done something right here.
 
I know, but still, I just felt the scene was a little too short. But like I said, that was the only part of the movie where I thought they were moving too fast. Everything else was great.
