i say that a mark of a good movie be that you do not have to be familiar with the book and play and etc that serve a the basis or inspiration . so and have say that and and and subsequently and not have see nor read marlowe play dr faustus and i can honestly say the first 10 minute of burton film adaptation bore me so senseless that i do not even bother stick around for the always compel ms taylor to make her entrance . and couldn not have care less . it be that bad . and since it be solely burton and his monologue and along with burton campy directorial choice which eat up those tortuous 10 minute . i would deem this film a burton and and only burton and rotten egg .
