everything you have heard about this movie is true.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

A fantasy comedy romance more in line with ' The princess bride' ,juggling dark humor with a children's story.Stardust is a delightful and entertaining romp. It has a lot of elements and a lot of disparate parts but the director succeeds in bringing everything together coherently. There is an ample sprinkling of humor that ranges from a chuckle to laugh out loud. Keeps the story from getting stale. The way the movie bucks our expectation in certain scenes is where it shines.Loved the acting. Charlie Cox, Mark Strong Claire Danes and Michelle Pfieffer are all amazing. But it's really my man,De Niro that steals the show. Haven't seen him in any role like this. He was by far the best part of the movie.While it does buck our expectations in some places. It's apparant as the movie goes on that the overarching plot will be familiar. It's disheartening to see that things will end up the way you would expect. The special effects as well haven't quite aged well. I doubt they were adequate when the movie was released.Good movie overall. A little dark for children but most adults would enjoy it.

Is it weird that the one thing that really sticks out about Stardust is that one of the small subplots involves Daredevil and Superman getting into an argument? Well, I guess that's not entirely the case, but a young Charlie Cox and Henry Cavill essentially fighting each other probably would have been more than enough to please me. Stardust is far more than a simple love story or fairy tale, it's irreverent and oozing with genre fun. Oh and you also have an extraordinarily gifted cast across the board.Films aren't really made like this anymore. It's so hard to come by a big budgeted/genre film with a lighthearted tone and with this type of humor. You could see it on TV, or perhaps in the 1980's, but good fantasy films are so disappointingly rare these days. The closest could perhaps be something like the Kingsman movies (which Matthew Vaughn also directed), but even those could just be labeled as success due to comic-book background.But the pure fantasy adventure is surely something cinema's could use a little bit more of these days. If movies can get actors like Robert De Niro to do some of the ridiculous things he does in this movie, then I think we have a winning formula. But in all seriousness, Charlie Cox, Claire Danes, Michele Pfeiffer, Henry Cavill, De Niro, and Sienna Miller make for a fantastic ensemble cast of witches, Kings, a star (?), and one special prince to make for a thrilling adventure.7.6/10

The film has everything you need for a good fairy tale.It's a beautiful mix of fairy-tale places and characters, love and hate, humor and magic.
There are good guys and bad guys, and of course there are indirect - not quite good, but complementing the performance with humor.Great acting.
Good and not exaggerated special effects.
Very well-chosen music that builds emotions.Great for teenagers.
Also worth seeing in the evening of February 14... with your beloved.

This fantasy fixes all the problems with fantasy before it. One movie to rule them all. Gone are the millions of orcs fighting a pointless battle against millions of elves. Without these images, things like Warcraft would not be possible. Yet, Warcraft makes far more sense than the battles of Lord of the Rings.And the story is a gem. Meaningful characters kept to a tight minimum. Twists and turns. A complicated story made to feel simple. After all they are so many links! The witches wanting the star. The boy needing the star for a silly promise. The prince wishing for a jewel, ignorant of the fact that the boy is also a contender. Yet Gaiman's way of unfolding the story makes everything seem so easy, so clear.Finally the effeminate captain puts Analise This to shame.Contact me with Questions, Comments or Suggestions ryitfork @ bitmail.ch
