9/10
It, like all of Fritz Lang's films, is worth watching.

I usually do not rent silent films. I have to be in the mood for them. And I definitely was in the mood for this one.

I was amazed that how well this film was made. The shots were beautiful and full of Old World splendor. And the organ solo that accompanied the film set the proper mood for this medieval German epic.

And I thought that the scene where Siegfried fought the dragon was all right. I expected the scene to be flimsy effects-wise, but it wasn't. In fact, it was much better than I expected. Kudos to the special effects people.

I have yet to see its latter half "Krimhilde's Revenge". I hope that it is as good as "Siegfried".
