Stardust (2007)
The enchanting tale of a fallen star who crashes into a magical kingdom and turns out to be no ordinary meteorite at all, but a beautiful, imperiled woman chased after by an incredible array of seekers who want or need her secret powers. From wicked witches to power-mad princes, from flying pirates to dueling goblins, each person who encounters the star has his or her own agenda, but they all desire just one thing: her heart.

The poor man's The Princess Bride. Has its moments, but not nearly enough of them.

With an often forced sense of humour and an awkward feel to many aspects of the production, Stardust provides a marginally entertaining but inevitably average viewing beyond the implied sentimentality and overused special effects. Although some of the action (undead swordfight) is quite good with a few reasonable cameos thrown in for good measure, it feels ravaged by plotholes and an occasionally flawed script. By the contrived, dry ending I was only left with an overall feeling of indifference.

Pushy fantasy film that clumsily lobs chunks of exposition between attempts to be ever so delightful. To be fair there are a some fun moments, but De Niro is definitely not amongst them. He is painful here. This film just tries too hard, its plot contrivances and unnecessary effects tending towards the annoying.

Under appreciated fantasy movie that works on all of the levels it's trying to, Stardust is entertaining and wont really drag everywhere. Good cast.

The book was a warm little modern fairy tale update like most of Gaiman literature are. Effects and production design leaves the movie unsincere and dry with only a few moments worthwhile. And it gets awfully mediocre past the De Niro sequence, towards the end.

Although there are a handful of small moments that suffer from the predictability & contrivances that come w/ being a fairy tale, & the humor doesn't always hit the mark, the film is undeniably clever. A wonderfully intricate story w/ more imagination& fun than the majority of fantasy flix out there put together. It's lack of success can only be attributed to the general apathy towards fantasy at the box office & a marketing campaign perhaps not targeted enough toward younger viewers.

The plot of this story is that a boy trying to win the heart of a girl that does not return his affection is told that if he goes to retrieve a falling star they've just seen, she'll be his bride. He says, "I'll go get it." I heard about this and devoured the book (really excellent offering from Neil Gaiman) but there was something about that premise that still felt too romantic. In the film version the girl is played by Sienna Miller. That is correct, son. Go get that star.

A magical adventure in a fantasy world. Very strong cast. Plenty of action and many clever story turns. Great acting all around, some laughs and thoroughly entertaining. This has a medieval feeling with a fast paced story of romance, fighting, magic, witches, transformations, and humorous, silly and fun elements. I enjoyed all of it. Michelle Pfeiffer was a wonderful bad witch, Robert De Niro was a hoot. Charlie Cox was very good in his role as Tristan, and Claire Danes was also good.

The first time I saw this movie, I felt like it continued on for far longer than necessary, but overall I liked it. After watching it again with a friend I realized the necessity of all the scenes and started appreciating it more. Now I can watch it anytime and never be bored. The ghosts of the brothers provide an excellent comic relief to the drama going on in the rest of the plot.

Almost nothing like the book it's based one, which was a huge disappointment for me when I first saw it, but I've learned to love it on it's own merits, of which is has many. The greatest being that everyone in the cast just seem to have so much fun and really, really, really enjoy what they're doing.

Liked it. I was wondering how successfully the adaptation of Neil Gaiman's fairy tale could be done. I think it was done with a good style, including some very funny moments. Liked it.

Fairly good movie. Well acted and well shot. Does a remarkable job of dancing the line between charming and corny. It's a rather silly little fairy tale with some obvious plot twists but it never seems boring or stupid. It is very light though. There is hardly any real fear of anything out of order occurring. There is no sense of danger because it is so obvious where it will all end up. With all that, it's still fun to watch. And Claire Danes is really beautiful in this.

This movie was a hoot. In a lot of ways this reminded me of a live action anime. The acting is all over the place but its part of the films charm. The dialogue is bad, laughably so. The cast was charming and likable I mean the only real downside is Claire Danes who I found annoying and extremely unattractive.

Stardust doesn't deliver much surprises story-wise, but delightful narrative full of good humor was a very pleasant surprise for me. Princess Bride still is the best fantasy film that adults can enjoy, but Stardust holds a few good charms to standout from recent fantasy flicks like Narnia or Harry Potter franchise.

A little humor, a little romance, a little supernatural, and a little heart goes a long way to making this movie a softer version of "The Princess Bride."

The movie is really predictable, kind of cheesy and has a ton of plotholes...but i really don't care as I din't had so much fun watching a movie for a long time. The characters are loveable, the sountrack is impressive and the atmosphere is really charming. Absolutely enjoyable.

Bobby De Niro prancing around imagining himself dancing the can-can is an image that will stay with me forever. Aside from that, lovely fairy tale and Claire Danes looks just like one of my friends. Yayness on toast!

Pretty fuckin' great! Who knew? WHO KNEW? Just good old fashion fantasy with a cool plot, kick ass actors, and a lot of humor. Ian McKellen narrates the shit out of this flick! Yeah, this movie is great. Bobby DeNiro, no one else can play a gay sky pirate like you!

What a piece of crap, I didn't like Gaiman's gooey post-modernist stories when they were the "thing" when I was young. When they are aged, they are even worst. It is unimaginative, badly executed (particularly the special effects) and very unengaging. De Niro does his bit, which was cool and Pfeiffer was alright too. the rest was a disaster.

Yes,it's a bit different from the book but this is exactly what makes Stardust good.Stardust manages to keep the atmosphere of the book intact with altering a lot of aspects and in some places even strengthening a few parts of the story.Great fantasy,romance,adventure mixture with a perfect dose of comedy.Claire Danes, Robert DeNiro, Michelle Pfeiffer were excellent. I found myself wishing the wall really existed.In the end it's a silly but sweet fairy tale romance for stargazing romantics.

Based on the works of one of the most profoundly tallented writers of our time, Neil Gaiman, this faithful adaptation is a refreshingly origonal fantasy romp in the grand tradition of movies like The Princess Bride. Critics will snidely tell you that this movie tries in vain to actually be Princess Bride and utterly fails in that, but then again critics also panned Wizard of Oz as being unimaginative when it first came out...

Feels like a US film student trying to be both Hollywood and Terry Gilliam, creating an incredibly uneven experience. Is at least somewhat enjoyable 1) because of the lack of romantic, swashbuckling adventure in our current film climate and 2) people have forgotten DeNiro's genius and how it is wasted here. I love fantasy adventure, and the dialogue is crisper here than in 90 percent of other films, but the script/visuals' issues outweigh its pluses.

Overall a fun fantasy pic... the sort that makes a great rental but a mediocre movie. The film has difficulty immersing the viewer into its fantasy realm, and the special effects are needlessly grandiose, but halfway through the gears finally mesh for an ultimately fun ride.

Loved it! Although I haven't read the book, I am a huge Gaiman fan and feel the film remained true to his quirky, tongue-in-cheek mixture of fantasy and comedy. Stellar (forgive the pun!) cast.

If I'd watched this as a kid, it would have been one of my defining movies (like Ladyhawke, Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal were). Luscious, gorgeous fairytale that cunningly subverts the cliches, brilliant romp of a tale, and Michelle Pfeiffer was diabolically wicked. Laughed out loud as much in delight as at the deft and witty humour. Brilliant.

Superb fantasy. Funnyt, exciting, moving, all round great. Did someone fail to mention Neil Gaiman? Oh. I thought so. That's who wrote this. Not Jane Goldman. Not Matthew Vaughn.

A fantastic fantasy film, if only for Robert De Niro in drag. Other than that Neil Gaiman contributed to the writing which puts it up a couple notches with his abilities. Vaughn, for only having done a couple movies, does an amazing job. A great collection of big names, and they all fit extremely well. This is an incredible movie.

I just can't help liking the film. The acting is good and the plot is decent but it conveys a nice feel-good feeling you just can't resist. The romantic sappy bits are not my favorite parts but, to be honest, they did fit in just fine. Also; Ricky Gervais!
