So I have watched neon genesis eva, death true2 and end of evangelion but I don’t remember much of it so should I rewatch that first or can I watch this movie without refreshing my memory?

I watched it without rewatching. But afterwards I ended up rewatching due to the fact that I felt that I would understand it better then. But if you don't want to rewatching the main series then just the rebuild is fine

The first movie just skips most of the shinji's crying and whining but a rewatch can be good if you have watched nge long time ago

I did a full rewatch of the tv show and EoE before watching the Rebuilds and that made it tons more enjoyable than I expected, especially for the first Rebuild since it remakes scenes and takes the characters in refreshing directions, which is more fun if you've got the parallels in mind.

Tl;dr: From experience, I would recommend to rewatch.

If you rewatch eva and end of eva you can notice slight differences in dialouge and how things play out so it's just something that I'd reccomend before the rebuilds but I don't think is a must

I don't think it's necessary at all as the first Rebuild Movie is mostly a summary of the first third of nge... So unless you don't remember what happened at all or really want to notice the changes it might make it less enjoyable... Could be beneficial for the later movies though as they are totally different but it would still not be necessary cause it's a totally different approach.

If you wanna "rewatch" the original NGE then I recommend just watching death & rebirth because it recaps things pretty well
