Stardust

Pros: Very funny and entertaining in the style of "The Princess Bride"...
Cons: ... a few inconsistencies...

Stardust is based on Neil Gaiman’s book of the same name and converted to the screen with a star-studded past. In the UK we had to wait months for it to be released in cinemas - but I’m glad to say that it was well worth the wait. ...

Pros: Magical wonderful tale of fantasy.
Cons: may be a bit too gruesome in some scenes for younger children.

I like well done fantasy tales, or tales that blend fantasy into their telling. This year we had the latest installation of everyone's favorite boy wizard, which I was rather disappointed in. Bridge to Terabithia and Pan's Labyrinth were ...

Pros: Tremendous writing, acting, directing and special effects
Cons: None

I realize that the title to my review is more than a bit cliche but I truly believe that "Stardust" fits the category of classic. Everything in the film, from the excellent acting, to the beautiful cinematography and imaginative special effects captures ...

Pros: Everything!
Cons: None.

When a young man is lead to explore beyond the boundaries of his small world so that he may obtain a fallen star for his one true love, he is lead deep into the strange realm of Stormhold where menacing sorceresses, Machiavellian rulers, and bizarre ...

Pros: funny, fun, with good chemistry
Cons: not as funny as it could be, but with a better story

I didn't like Stardust as much as some folks, but I can see why they loved it. This is a romantic comedy/fantasy/parody of fantasies. If that's a little like saying the Pledge of Allegiance with a mouth full of marbles, you'll understand what kept me ...

Pros: very interesting, pretty original in premise, exciting sequences
Cons: needed more dramatic acting

Stardust is one of those films that really tried to present something "outside the box" of fantasy films, and give a story that was both original in presentation and story. It seemed to have a big fan-fair when it started showing previews, but ...

Pros: happy endings, magical world, Claire Danes, wraps up nicely
Cons: cheesy lines, could be funnier, soundtrack unmemorable

“Feel good” movies are finally starting to make a comeback and with the success of Enchanted, Stardust easily picks up on this notion that the world doesn’t have to be a dark and sinister place, and that nice people are present in the world, love can ...

Pros: Charlie Cox, Claire Danes, Robert De Niro, Michelle Pfeiffer, Peter O'Toole
Cons: none

My wonderful dad invited myself and my son to the movies today. Originally, we were going to see the Bourne Ultimatum but the soonest one available wasn't good time wise for him. Soooooooooooooooo......we decided on Stardust! THE PLOT It ...

Pros: Great story, magic and special effects are very good
Cons: Chemistry between lead characters in the beginning

With my busy work schedule and extra curricular activities I don’t get to go to the movies often. I recently had a chance to go in August and was thrilled. As we got to the movies we had to decide what to watch. My friend chose STARDUST and I agreed ...

Pros: Everything
Cons: Some scary/violent moments for children

Every Tuesday, my daughter and I head out to the local Cineplex to participate in a program called “Baby Pictures”. This program allows mothers with young babies to see first-run movies. The volume is not as high, and the lights are not as dimmed. ...

Pros: Great acting, recognizable Neil Gaiman touches
Cons: De Niro, disjointed at times

Easily 3.5 stars, but I can’t really give it 4. Poor Robert De Niro. I really felt for him as Stardust unfolded, and not in a good way. But I get ahead of myself. We went to see the movie last night, waiting for the crowds to dissipate (and ...

Pros: A fun film that will dazzle the eye.
Cons: A somewhat thin midsection.

Stardust is a beautifully-made movie from start to finish. Utilizing the best in special effects and fully resourced with fine actors, its story is fanciful, funny, and quite original. A somewhat inexperienced and naive young Englishman, ...

Pros: special effects; cinematography; setting; pace
Cons: lack of chemistry between leads; De Niro horribly, horribly miscast

The movie Stardust is based on a novel of the same name by British fantasy author Neil Gaiman (The Sandman, Neverwhere, American Gods, Coraline). Not so much a graphic novel as an illustrated fairy tale for adults, the ...

Pros: A few chuckles here and there from supporting players
Cons: Way too bombastic to be a nimble fairy tale

The only notable effect that Stardust had on me was a politically incorrect desire to b****-slap Claire Danes. Daines plays Yvaine -- literally, the personification of a star (the celestial kind, not the tabloid one). As such, she ...

Pros: A fun, summer fantasy for almost everyone.
Cons: A little gruesome in spots.

Romance, adventure, magic, comedy – everything is packed into this fairy tale A young hero and heroine who grow as the movie progresses 7 princely brothers who will stop at NOTHING to gain possession of the throne 3 witch sisters and a gypsy witch ...
