7/10
I definitely enjoyed the first half more than the second. I didn't know beforehand how Murnau would approach the Faust legend, so I thought there'd be more focus on the struggle for Faust's soul between the angel and Satan, and less focus on stuff like Faust falling in love (and the weird comedy sequence between the old woman and Satan). The special effects were pretty cool for its time for sure, and I liked the aesthetic, so I'm looking forward to watching other Murnau films.
