Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

mraculeated The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Melanie Bouvet The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Noble Brown Holy moly, what the heck happened here? Brian Yuzna...you're better than this! I've seen you do better than this! How did you make something this hideously AWFUL?I watched this because it has Andrew Divoff and Jeffery Combs in it. Well, at least both of them are fun to watch as always, but they're only as good as the awful material will let them be. It seriously, truly feels like they shot this from the first draft of the script, and that said draft was written by a high school dropout goth. The two leads are horrifically awful. Frost hams it up something fierce as John Jasper. Hamming is probably too generous a word. He has absolutely no idea what he's doing and uses idiotic facial expressions to fill in his complete lack of any talent whatsoever. Brook is nearly as bad, just slumming it hideously the whole way through. The makeup is awful, with Faust's outfit looking like the cheap rubber that it is. His Wolverine-knockoff claws look like flimsy plastic and bounce around everywhere. You really don't believe that he could cut through a car roof with them. The story lurches around and barely manages to stick together. The characters have no dimension to them. They do things because the script wants them to, not because it actually fits their paper-thin character in any possible way. They just do what's necessary to move things along. There's no motivation here beyond "The director and writer said to!" One minute, the lead chick loathes and fears Faust, and the next minute they start shagging. Yeah, that makes sense.Yuzna, how did you mess this up so BADLY? At least his other efforts have managed to be fun. Reanimator, From Beyond, Dagon (I know, he wasn't the director, but he was heavily involved in creative direction), etc may not have been great movies, but they were fun cult flicks. Faust isn't fun at all. It's not even so bad it's fun. It's just nigh-unwatchably horrid.How this movie won ANY kind of award other than a Razzie is something that I will never grasp even if God himself came down and explained it to me. Do yourself a favor and miss this. If you want to see Divoff being sinister, go watch Wishmaster. If you want to see Combs doing his fun hamming (and I mean that in a good way. Combs is fun to watch), go watch Reanimator, From Beyond, or The Frighteners. If you want to see something that will make you truly believe that you've wasted 92 minutes of your life beyond anything you could imagine, watch Faust.

Boba_Fett1138 As far as comic book adaptation go, this one is out there amongst the worst of them. I had a bad time watching it because of how poorly it all was done.The movie is made like a B-movie, with a B-cast & crew but still the movie is visually looking like an A-list movie. It creates an enormous contracts between the visual style and actually quality of the movie. It's perhaps a reason why the works out all the more badly.Brian Yuzna made some decent enough genre movie, with movies that weren't meant as serious ones but with this movie he shows that he's a real lacking director. The movie also features some real bad editing, an horrendous musical score, stupid sound effects and bad looking gore effects. Not only the storytelling of the movie is really lacking but yes, also the actual story itself. It really isn't a solid story and there is way too little actually happening it and all in all, it just simply lacks a main plot line. Thhis is really the biggest problem of the movie. It also rips off one or two too many other movies. The movie also actually features very little action, especially for a genre movie, and the action that it does feature is done incredible bad and is just plain lame. It's obviously not Brian Yuzna's thing. It doesn't actually help to make the movie any more interesting.The movie is done quite tasteless at times, with both its gore and amount of misplaced sexuality.The cast also really didn't do a good job. Odd thing is that halve of the cast consists out of Spanish actors, who were obviously dubbed at a later point during production. But also actors such as Mark Frost and Isabel Brook do a real horrible job. No wonder they starred in so few and meaningless movies. And suddenly their characters fall in love? What was up with that. Talking about a bad placed and unbelievable love story. Oh well, at least it still had Jeffrey Combs in it.Well, yes I admit that there are even worse movies out there but that doesn't really make this a good movie either, now does it.2/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/

shanathan319 Does any one realize that this whole Faust idea that this movie and your beloved comics are based off a long play written by an eighteenth century writer over his entire life. That was based off of folk stories that were created in the late Middle Ages. And published versions of these stories dated back to at least 1592. I haven't seen the movie, as a matter of fact, I've just heard of it just within a half-hour before writing this. But it seems you people watching this movie and those who seem to be devoted fans to the comic book series seem to be quite ignorant of how this whole story came about., regardless of whether this movie did really suck or not. The idea of Faust is the idea of a man torn by reason and individuality against the values that society try to blindly install into its citizens, which at the time the idea was conceived would be the influence of the Church and its ideas of how the world works and how people ought to behave.

machine_gun_molly I've never felt the need to come to IMDb and actually write as to how horrible a movie is, but in this case I believe this to be necessary. This movie will be forever ingrained in my memory as "THE" worse movie I have ever seen.The acting was awful, the directing was atrocious, the cinematography was uninspired and the score gave me a headache (people please stop playing heavy-metal music every time someone gets into a fight...it's boring).What it basically is, is a major cringe-fest. I couldn't even listen to it with the director or the production comments, cause there was nothing that could possibly redeem it (not even the end credits).So...I give this movie a 1, because IMDb doesn't have a 0.
