The movie will just be two hours of “congratulations”.

I think that's a pretty big overstatement of the Eva films, and their actual impact on the industry, at this point. There might have been a chance at Eva reasserting itself as one of the pinnacle titles in the medium when the movies first started to come out. Between delays, more delays, changes, bad plots, poor character development, and yet more delays this feels more like a title dragging itself across the finish line while everyone else finished the race hours ago and already left to get juice and lunch.

Wow, 2 and a half hours! I never heard of an Anime film that long. I hope it's at least good. Mr. Anno's track record with ending a show, despite his genius, was hit and miss. He ended NADIA with a bang, but both EVANGELION and HIS AND HER CIRCUMSTANCES ended disappointingly.

3rd month for the 3rd impact. Only fitting.

I disagree, heavily

Tbf, His and Her Circumstances' ending was (Not) of his involvement. The author was (Not) happy with the direction the series was taking with the focus on humor rather than drama and forced the anime to end without a continuation; course in hindsight now it's probably for the best, seeing as how it infamously tackled rape, but I'm (Not) getting into that.
As for the original Eva ending...well, which one? You get the out-of-left-field happy ending, or the kill'em all and let God sort'em out ending, each with its fair share of detractors. Also the Let It Go ending if you count the manga.

Which ending? If you mean the original TV series ending, then intriguing as it was, yeah I'd agree with you. But if you meant End of Eva The Movie, then, whoa bro... I mean... maybe some people were unhappy with the way things turned out, but I am certainly not in that camp.
I'm also enjoying the heck out of the Rebuild films! I'm look forward to a grand 2+ hours.

Evangelion literally had one of the greatest, most memorable endings I've ever seen in my entire life (if we're talking about Ene). Period. You can call it "gory", "pretentious", "depressing" or "too complex" but "dissapointing"... not sure what should have happened to make the ending "satisfying" then.
