Absolutely not. Evangelion is as dense of a show with plot, characterization, and themes as has ever existed so if you want to watch End of Evangelion then you absolutely have to watch the series. Much of the plot of the movie is 90% dependent not just on the plot of the show but on the journeys of the people involved. The movie is actually called episodes 25 & 26 because it is a replacement for the official ending of the show (don't ask long story).
Long story short watch the ****ing show. Luckily for you Neon Genesis Evangelion is a masterpiece so watching the whole series is a pretty good thing to do.
