Stardust

Pros: Great movie to watch with the family
Cons: Movie is a little long but no complaints here

Stardust starts out a little slow but eventually becomes a great movie. With all the characters and magic creatures it is a great movie for the kids and even as a family to watch for movie night. When the main character embarks on his journey to find a ...

Pros: Great movie all the way around. A mixture of all emotions.
Cons: A little long.

I found this movie to be a great movie! At first we weren't sure because this movie did not get a lot of hype or advertising, but we are so glad we saw it! This movie was along the lines of Princess Bride where in the end, true love prevails. This is ...

Pros: Action, Adventure, A great adaptation of the book
Cons: None really.

From the beginning, this movie is a delight. Charlie Cox does a great job portraying the young Tristan who finds his true love after a very unique journey. Claire Danes does a perfect job as the star (Yvaine). There’s action, adventure, romance, and even ...

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: 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: The writer created his own mythology.
Cons: It felt as though it may have needed a bit more back story.

This was a nice new take on a fairy tale. It had all the elements needed for a good one with some toung in cheek humor as well. I liked the weird role that Diniro chose, I'm not sure what exactly it was all about; he was still a bit scary being Diniro ...

Pros: Good acting. Great story line.
Cons: not for young children (I would say not for under 5-7 group).

When I first saw the previews for this movie, i did not think I would like it. It looked like the same old movies out these days. Magic and mysticism, good vs. evil, blah blah blah. However, after renting the movie, I have decided to purchase my own ...

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: The technical aspects of the film succeed and a strong cast sells the show.
Cons: A slow start; some scenes seem a little rough, almost as if lacking discipline.

While most of the American public is busy with movies such as the overrated “Superbad” and the atrocious “Rush Hour 3”, it’s easy to see why a clever British-made adventure, appropriately titled “Stardust”, would go ...

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: Great performances by the big-name stars, unique elements that round out a true fantasy world
Cons: Cheesy dialogue in a few places, and a formulaic undercurrent

Imagine if the stars could come down to earth as real people and affect your life in fantastical ways. In this adventure tale, a young man named Tristan Thorn has exactly this happen to him. Tristan witnesses a star falling on the other side of a ...

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: 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: 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: A faithful adaptation of a strong Gaiman story.
Cons: Beowulf sucks.

What would your first reaction be to a Neil Gaiman flick considering the current state of his movie career? Would you be excited, based upon the Labyrinthian romp Mirrormask was given? Would you shake your head dumbly while you mutter 'Uhh, who's Neil ...
