MCT:August 6, 2008This truly is a film that brought memories back of my childhood, meaning some darn good storytelling! This film fell below the radar for its brand of humor, more intricate subplots, and differing of the cliched fantasy films being churned out withing the past 8 years or so. The unknown male lead was a smart turn and Claire Danes is such a sweet girl. Pfeiffer turns an especially purrfect role and the sphinx eyed viillain-ess! I didn't realize how much I missed her in films! DeNiro does a truly different and memorable turn as the pirate captain. This film is part Pirates, part Princess Bride, part, Neverending Story, part, 10th Kingdom, part Hook. I just love it!! Finally good old fashioned storytelling makes a comeback!!

Definitely not what I expected, and that's a very good thing. Surprising, exciting, and romantic, this is a great movie to see on a date.

MCT:August 5, 2008It looks fun, but it isn't. I'm not usually one for subtext, but this is the most offensively misogynistic film I have ever seen. Every single female character is either malicious and unpleasant, a total slut or inferior and subordinate to men - which isn't even addressed by the finale, and when the Captain Shakespeare, who we know to be proficient at swordplay, puts on a dress, he instantly becomes weak and ineffectual.
Other than this, Stardust is still a boring, patronising, cliched mess about a young man who travels into a fantasy world to get a fallen star to impress his love. The narration is distracting and pointless and the music too loud so the dialogue is drowned. The plot leaps ahead with no set up, there are too many characters and none are developed. The whole finale is terrible and makes no sense, and the by-this-point-loathsome Tristan actually hides and watches Septimus be murdered, despite the fact that he is supposed to be the hero.
On the plus side, the special effects are pretty good and the whole seven princes plot is extremely funny. A shame it is barely focused on.
So, offensive but mainly just rubbish, it says a lot that the most interesting thing I found in this dull film was the adorably bug-eyed dormouse that Tristan gets turned into at one point for no reason. What a loud dud. -

MCT:July 31, 2008I Just fell in love with it! Totally magical, and a whole new world. Recommended for all. A fallen star is a girl who then gets dragged in on inside.

This movie surprised me. Very well done. The stroy is great and the magical graphics match. I like how nothing seems out of place and the movie never feels boring. This is definatly making my favorite list. After watching it through I really did think about watching it through again. A must watch and very family friendly.

Fairytales will always be favorites of mine. This one was well done. Costuming was pretty and scenery was good. Story line was what I would expect of a fairytale. Well, done.

I am completely in love with this movie, it's this generations, Princess Bride! The cast was fabulous and hilarious. Michelle Phiefer was untouchable!!! Her final scene was TO-DIE-FOR, no pun intended. If you havent seen it, do so expeditiously!!!!

Magical, itelligent, and mature. "Stardust" is the most compelling fantasy to come along since 'The Lord of the Rings'.

A funny, witty grown-up fairy tale. I heard it described as a modern day "Princess Bride," though I don't think it's anywhere in that league. It was cute.
-
MCT:July 22, 2008
Lots of fun! De Niro is hilarious and Pfeiffer is HOT! It feels like a kids film but made very much for adults - a very Princess Bride feel.

MCT:July 21, 2008Great "Princess Bride" endeavor, but falls short of achieving the goal.
Absolutely loathed how it veered so much from the novel, but otherwise, the adorable Captain Shakespeare would not have been brought into the plot.
CGI was not entirely believable at times, but the musical score made up for it.
Charlie Cox's breakthrough performance leaves me anticipating his next movies. -

very good film robert de niro dancing around with a fan doing the can can was hilarious scary fun would highly recommend
-
MCT:July 20, 2008Boring at some times and very confusing at the beggining. But this movie is nice, some charismatic characters and some nice effects. Still, there aren't good action scenes in this.
-
Was really good. Was a cute story with a really good morel. The actors were great and portrayed the characters well. It turned out really well and the ending was beautiful. It really shined.

"But to see the way mankind loves. I mean, you could search the furthest reaches of the universe and never find anything more beautiful. So, yes, I know that love is unconditional. But I also know that it can be unpredictable, unexpected, uncontrollable, unbearable, and, well, strangely easy to mistake for loathing. And what I'm trying to say, Tristan, is I think I love you."
A great romantic fairy tale with amazing special effects and a great cast especially Charlie Cox as Tristan Thorne, Claire Danes as Yvaine and Robert De Niro as Captain Shakespeare. Great score by Ilan Eshkeri. The film was much, much better than I thought it was going to be. -
MCT:July 17, 2008
Romance, and adventure do go hand in hand. The end where the young man falls in love with a star, saves her life, finds his mother, kills the evil, and becomes king of the land would have to be the best part for me. Great movie and I would watch it anytime.

Initially I was so afraid it would be very similar to LOTR, but not so good, but when I had seen it, I absolutely loved this movie! Now I've seen it more than once. And Take That's Rule The World at end credits is one of the best songs of the year.

this movie is so wrong that it's kind of right. this movie is werid but intersting. i was so compeled by this out there story useally if a movie has many spacil efficts i write it off but this movie did not really on the effect it had a story and to back it up. thought i don't think the perfoem are any thing specal i still got lost in this world.

I 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!

I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!posted 187 days ago -
Watching this film will def make you want to read the book by Neil Gaimen. After reading the book and seeing the film twice now I can say that I like the movie better. Don't get me wrong the book is well done but in the movie the characters come to life even more. Fantastic performances by all the cast. Michelle Pfeiffer as I have always loved her when she first started out in "Grease 2" does an astounding performance as one of the witches. In the film though I wish there was more of a battle sequence. This movie has everything you could possibly want in a film so def don't miss out. I know they probably wont make a sequel to this film though I wish they would. I hope Neil makes more books with the characters. "A Fantasy Film That Really Comes To Life" 4 stars
