I enjoyed everything about this aside for the little devil scene which I though was out of place and stupid.

I knew nothing of the Wandering Jew until I watched this, and it seems to me that this film (i.e. Méliès) very effectively leverages the moving image to realise the full impact of this myth, except perhaps for the portrayal of Satan which misses the mark.
