Leave your thoughts about Doctor Faustus.
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeThe overall effect is like a cross between a garishly colored Hammer horror film and a textbook example of '60s hallucinogenic trendiness. |
| VarietyVariety StaffThe impersonation of the seven deadly sins is hardly likely to send good men off the rail. |
| StarburstRobert MartinIf it wasn't so dull it would camp but it doesn't even achieve that. |
| The SpectatorPenelope HoustonThe mixture of posed speeches, arty apparitions and some willfully unfocused camerawork, suggests some kind of timeslip, as though the film had been deep-frozen twenty years ago. |
| User ReviewSam BThis classic movie is pure and deep philosophy. The devil is fair: He warned Faustus before he "bought" his soul. The more Faustus had sinked into the world of Satan, the harder it became to repent and get out. The worldly pleasures were nothing but brief instances of illusion on top of extreme ugliness. I highly recommend it for those who have interest in spirituality. |
| User ReviewAnna NI have been intrigue by the legend of Dr. Faustus, the man who sell his very soul to the Devil himself, for knowledge and lust, after much research on the web. I have watched this film based on the play by Christopher Marlowe (a playwright who lived in the same time as Shakespeare), and it was AWESOME! I love Elizabeth Taylor (I have a few of her films); but I had gotten confuse whether it's a horror film or dramatic film? of course its horrific images of Hell, and that gross corpse cover with maggots, when Dr. Faustus practiced necromancy (the magical art of bring the dead to life), make it a horror film. I was shocked by the negative reviews I would see on the web, I thought it was an excellant horror film; You know on the scene where Dr. Faustus sees the Seven Deadly Sins, I think Lechery/Lust is very hot (*drool*); but they left out Gluttony & Sloth (well DUH! the films is 92 mins.). |
| User ReviewScott RDespite overly-cheesy effects, this movie tells the story of the book quite well. I enjoyed Burton's acting. It wasn't the most captivating of movies, but if you enjoy the book and enjoy Elizabethan drama, then you will like this movie. |
| User ReviewMorris NThe poetry is great and is well read by Burton and the cast. The movie isn't that good, but it's the only version of this play on film that I'm aware of, so for that alone it's worth seeing. |
| User ReviewJenny UThis movie is a joke, but I love Burton in it, especially when he says, "Learn thou of Faustus manly fortitude, And scorn those joys thou never shalt possess." |
| User ReviewBubba MTaylor = Hot. Me likes. Other than that, it's mostly crap, but in an really intriguing way. |
