Rebuild of Evangelion 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance. My thoughts

General
Don't worry, there's not going to be any specific or major spoilers in here, if that's what you're worried about and still plan to see it. I found out it was airing last night in the city at one specific cinema about an hour before it did. Luckily, I was able to book a ticket and rush down there to see it. I was disappointed and satisfied all at the same time. Trust Evangelion to leave me feeling a little... Confused and doubtful of myself and how I felt about it. XD
This movie unlike the last one begins to... Deviate a bit from the original plot, including the introduction of a brand new eva pilot character (and I don't know anything about her. She just kind of... Shows up and is there for the movie. Didn't even get her name. <_<) It's hard to go into depth without giving away spoilers, but I suppose for a lack of a better term, the movie is very NGE'ish, but like I said does deviate from the original a bit. Still plenty of funny moments, awkward romantic moments, fights, character development and depraved violence. All the ingredients of Neon Genesis.
The thing that really got me about this movie though got me before I even finished booking, and again when I picked up my ticket. The movie is rated PG. Parental. Guidance. Come on, this is Neon Genesis Evangelion. It's one of the most depraved, violent and adult oriented cartoons ever made. How the hell did it get that rating? I actually felt sorry for the few families who came in with their 10 - 14 year old kids to watch this with us, thinking this would probably be some perfectly family friendly movie. Their kids are scarred for life. XD
Other than that, go out and watch it. The proper subbed version for download may never happen at this rate, and besides it's good stuff.
