Lightdeossk Captivating movie !

Donald Seymour This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

andyluckhurst I've seen this film a few times now and it never fails to disappoint, it's great for all ages and it really leaves you will a feel good factor.Plucky hero Tristan sets out to win the heart of his 1 true love by capturing a shooting star, only to find out that the star is Claire Danes. Que the inevitable adventure that leads to them falling in love.The story flows really well and although I'm sure there's many films with the same sort of plot, this one felt unique. The cast are great and although there's big names, none of them came across as though they were bigger than the film. Although the cast were all brilliant, special mentions De Niro and Pfeiffer were excellent and very funny. Great soundtrack, great back drops, great story, great actors. A must watch

bowmanblue There's really little I can find that is negative about 'Stardust.' For what it is, it's possibly as perfect as a film could be. It's a fairytale - pure and simple. It has everything you'd probably expect to see in a 'classic Disney' cartoon - dashing princes, beautiful princesses, evil witches and more magic than you could shake a wand at. There really is nothing new regarding the plot. If you've seen one fairytale then, technically, you've seen this story and nothing will come as much of a surprise when it comes to the plot. However, 'Stardust' isn't your average fairytale.If you check out the tagline on the marketing, you'll see it says something like, 'The fairytale that won't behave.' I can see where they're coming from. It's a cheeky little number that accomplishes what few films can - it's very watchable for both adults and children. Kids will love the simple 'boy meets girl' story. Characters are very easily identifiable as either 'good' or 'evil.' But the film's really bonus is its much darker undertones. There are simply dozens of visual and scripted gags which will probably go way over children's head and be picked up by adults. But, it's not just the script that's fun - every cast member is a recognisable face in their own right. Whether it's the narrator - Sir Ian McKellen, or the dodgy seller of lightning in a bottle (and other magical goods), Ricky Gervais. Naturally, the film likes to highlight its two 'trump cards' - none other than Michelle Pfeiffer and Robert DeNiro. Of course they turn in as excellent performances as you'd expect (I won't go into DeNiro's performance for fear of spoiling it for people who don't know what he gets up to on board his flying lightning-harvesting ship when his crew aren't watching and Pfeiffer smoulders as the evil witch, ruthlessly hunting our young couple). But it's the film's two leads that really have to carry the film. Clare Danes is more recognisable than her heroic counterpart, Charlie Cox, but their chemistry is just perfect. All in all, you'll be guaranteed a good time with this film whether you're young or old. You'll have to have a heart of stone not to be enchanted by its simple tale of princes and princesses, told to perfection for a modern audience. And, is it just me, or is the soundtrack one of the most uplifting ever in recent times?

Mihai Toma An ordinary boy promises a girl from his village that he will retrieve a fallen star as a sign of his true love. This way, he crosses The Wall, venturing into the magical world which existed on the other side. He's in for a big surprise when he finds it, as it wasn't exactly what he expected. Besides this, he isn't the only one after it. A couple of other people wanted it for its heart (which granted eternal youth to the one who ate it) or for its diamond (which granted a true male heir to the magical world's throne his crown).It's a movie which I was tempted to take seriously but I was very surprised when I found out that it was actually presented in a funny and entertaining way. It's unique way of telling a fantastic story made me laugh quite a lot but also kept me eager to discover its ending. As you might expect, the plot is OK, but nothing more, just enough to makes the funny events possible. It is a great movie in my opinion, a must see, but if you're after a movie which doesn't put such an accent on its comical side, this might not be for you.

dmbelafan I checked this out on the recommendation of several online communities, and frankly I don't see what all the fuss is about. Don't get me wrong, Stardust has its fair share of interesting plot devices, and the performances by the cast are generally well done. A number of reviewers have likened it to The Princess Bride, which actually possessed a sense of self-awareness and wit, both of which seem generally lacking here.This film survives by grasping at the low-hanging fruit provided by the fairy-tale and fantasy genres, meaning that anyone who's seen a handful of them knows where this story is headed at all times. There is a general lack of direction and substance, just a large assortment of run-of-the-mill fantasy elements.There are a number of distracting editing gaffes, most notably the scene around an hour in where the dagger against a man's neck changes position back and forth a total of ten times between shots. If films were rated on the number of deus ex machina moments they provide, Stardust would receive top marks. But they're not - and there is much left to be desired here.
