Julia Roberts Movie:

Faust [Region 2] Reviews:
Faust: Love of the Sellout
2008-04-27 - First, this movie gets one star ONLY because I can't seem to rate it zero stars. Second, let's correct all the self-righteous fools in some of the other reviews...Quinn and Vigil created the Faust comic series LONG before Todd McSellout created Spawn. That being said, the character's appearance is clearly a rip-off of Marvel's Wolverine (created in the 70s). Now for the film...well, there is nothing to really say...it sucks. It very well could be the worst film ever made. Nope, no exaggeration, it could be THE WORST. It is a TRUE SHAME that this schlock will be forever paired with what was one of the best, most brutal comic book series' ever produced (however, it too even went through a couple different distributors before the series was completed YEARS behind schedule). Oh, sorry, back to the film...it SUCKS. Don't waste your money...PLEASE...don't waste your time.

Yes, it's bad...but the comic book is MUCH better!
2008-04-04 - Yes, it's true: this movie is terribly made. And like most everyone else here is saying, I agree that it's not worth watching or renting. Even reading the comic book before seeing this movie doesn't help, because it's so far removed from the book that it's insulting.

I can understand that in an hour and a half film it's not possible to capture the entire comic book (it would really take a mini-series to do it properly or at least a 2-hour epic with a Frank Miller ("Sin City", "300") budget), but they did things that weren't even in the comic book; things that make the comic book so great.

I definitely wouldn't use this movie to judge the comic book. Everyone who was disappointed with the film should search out the collected trade paperbacks of the Faust comic book series to see how great Faust: Love of the Damned truely is.

Demonic Wolverine at his worst
2007-10-13 - This movie was just plain terrible. Our demonic wolverine character attempts to become an "anti-hero" by denying his animalistic desires, including killing. Poorly concieved this movie appears to have been scripted in live action, if there was even a script. If you're looking for the meaning of life, you won't find it in this film. If you're looking for laughter, you won't find it here either. This film is a mixture of all the worst parts of Wishmaster, X-Men's Wolverine character, Freddy Cruger's worst one liners. If you must watch this film, watch it on cable during a Halloween festival. Don't even bother renting it.


Beyond bad
2007-05-12 - If you're into comics, you may remember a little something called Faust from way back when. Going to new extremes in terms of violence and sex, any new ground broken by Faust would be overshadowed by Todd MacFarlane's Spawn years later, which basically has the same premise. In either event, frequent Stuart Gordon partner Brian Yuzna, who has directed Re-Animator sequels as well as the excellent Return of the Living Dead 3, helms this adaptation of Faust, and as you can guess by reading the various reviews, the results are disastrous. I don't mind cheesy or low budget horror flicks one bit, but Faust stinks to high heaven with it's mostly lame effects and ridiculous costume. Mark Frost stars as a revenge driven artist seeking vengeance for the death of his girlfriend. This leads to a deal with a demon named M (the Wishmaster himself, Andrew Divoff), and soon enough he's transformed into a bloodthirsty creature with Wolverine-esque claws and an insane temperment. The acting is beyond horrible, especially Frost as the whiny main character. The only time we get a respite is from the brief appearances from Jeffrey "Re-Animator" Combs, but even his talents can't save this waste. The Roadrunner Records soundtrack doesn't help either, and it's just hard to believe that a film this bad could come from Yuzna. Faust isn't even in the "so bad it's good" territory; avoid at all costs.
