Stardust settles over the viewer like a twinkly cloak. The film, which captures the magic and vision of author Neil Gaiman's fantasy graphic fable, is a transportive journey into a world of true enchantment, which fans of the Harry Potter books will enjoy as well as will adults looking for the perfect date movie. The tale is a not-so-simple love story and adventure, set in 19th century England--and an alternate universe of witches, spells and stars that turn human--and hold the key to eternal life.
Young Tristan (played with wide-eyed vigor by Charlie Cox) vows to retrieve a fallen star for the most beautiful girl in the village, the shallow Victoria (Sienna Miller), and in his quest, finds his true love--in a true 'meet-cute' moment (by Babylon-candle-speeding into the just-crashed human incarnation of the star, Claire Danes). Much of the film involves the duo's journey back home--though home for Tristan is his village, and home for the celestial Yvaine is, of course, in the heavens. There are villains, notably Michelle Pfeiffer as the vain witch who seeks the fountain of youth a fallen star can give, and the seven venal sons of the dying king of the mythical realm, backstabbing, grasping, and hilarious--even in death as a ghostly Greek chorus.
While the sparks of love between Tristan and Yvaine are resonant and touching, Stardust truly succeeds as a brilliant fantasy yarn--and as a comedy with more than its share of belly laughs. Much of the humor belongs to Robert De Niro, who plays a notoriously wicked air pirate, who is secretly a bit light in his swashbucklers. Ricky Gervais has a small but memorable role essentially channeling his character from Extras, including his catchphrase, 'Are you having a laugh?!' The special effects are all that any fan of Gaiman would wish for. Catch a bit of Stardust and you'll feel enchanted for a good long while. --A.T. Hurley

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - great movie!
Although the trailer doesn't make it seem that exciting this is a really funny and creative movie. Highly reccommended!
Rating:  - Cool storyline, and nice PQ!
My fiance wanted to see this film and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The storyline is filled with humor, action and fantasy driven effects. Great performances by the entire cast, and a great escapist ride!
Rating: - Delightful family film based on Neil Gaiman's book
Many excellent books have been turned into disappointing films, and quite a few into good films which equal or come close to matching the book. But I can count on the fingers of one hand the films based on books as good as Neil Gaiman's "Stardust" which actually surpass the book. This is one of them.
Neil Gaiman himself was joint Producer with Director/screenwriter Matthew Vaughn, and they worked with an all-star cast including Michelle Pfeiffer, Clare Danes, Charlie Cox, Robert ... Read More
Rating: - the weird thing is that I hated the book
I pretty much bought this DVD the first available moment. This is due to the fact that friends had to drag me into the theatre to watch this movie. My high school boyfriend had Neil Gaimond's novel as his favorite book, so I went ahead and read it back then. All I remember is I hated it.
So it's indeed strange that I loved this movie as much as I did. (Perhaps because some change was made with the storyline, sorry fans). It's whimsical, pretty, and full of princess bride-esque humor. This ... Read More
Rating: - I loved this movie!
I've never read the book, so I've no idea how it compares. But this movie positively dazzled me. I found myself sitting here on the edge of my seat biting my nails when it was a tight spot and clapping my hands when I was delighted with how something turned out. If you love magical tales with great characters and romance alongside, please watch this movie! I'm going to try to read the book now. Because surely if I thought the movie was so good, the book must be ten times better!
