September 5, 2009While I fear the audience is slowly getting tired of fantasy films after books this is another highlight of the genre.

June 21, 2009Absorbing fantasy about a young man in search of a fallen star he promises to bring back to win the heart of his true love.

April 7, 2009This is very strange indeed, I gotta be honest, I didn't follow the plot atall haha I lost it not far in, and the film is waaay too long, boring Im afraid.

November 19, 2009Stardust is a nice refreshing satire which, at the same time, pulls off a very intriguing story. There seem to be no boundaries in this world.

November 17, 2009Wonderful fairy-tale story. Mark Strong did a brilliant job and Michelle Pfeiffer at her beautiful but sinister best.

November 10, 2009I didn't want to see this, but it was really good! It reminded me a lot of 'The Princess Bride', only without so much of the slapstick comedy.

It's puffed up in obvious ways but disarmingly puckish in others. full review

Claudia Puig, USA Today
Stardust lights up the screen with a splendid tale of heroism and romance. You don't have to be a fan of fantasies to enjoy its considerable whimsy. full review

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
Though the special effects are at times a little more elaborate than necessary, they don't overwhelm the story's human scale. full review

Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle
No, Stardust isn't a children's movie. It's a movie for anyone, of any age, who believes in magic -- or wishes they did. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
There are lots of good things in the movie, but they play more like vaudeville acts than part of a coherent plot. It's a film you enjoy in pieces, but the jigsaw never gets solved. full review

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
For audiences tired of summer sequels that grind through the familiar motions, Stardust provides a dizzying antidote. full review

Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune
The story respects the captivating power of fairy tales, while humorously twisting them a bit. full review

May 17, 2008I really *heart* this movie! It's got the stuff I love: romance, tragedy, miracle, lots of characters, an actual plot!, accents (lol I LOVE ppl with accents), and a mix of actors! I love it when I see newcomers and already-famous actors together. Makes it seem less.. prejudice? Lol. Wonderful movie!
