A fantasy in the tradition of "Howl's Moving Castle" (2008-06-09)

As I said many,many times, I have a nack for literary films (movies that are based on books), and Fantasy is my favorite genre. Stardust is truly a fantasy in the tradition of "Howl's Moving Castle", with a Victorian-style setting, and with fairies and witches from another world. After I have seen the movie, I thought it was an excellent film, and I have even read the original book; that might sound a little unorthodox to some of you I understand,but that's me. You know in the original book, Tristan's dad Dunstan, after his encounter with the lovely Una, he married a woman named Daisy Hempstock, and after Tristan was found on the door step,they had a daughter named Lousia; So that means in the book, Tristan had a stepmother and a stepsister.I love Yvaine, the star that fell from the sky 'cause of the medallion of Stronghold; Claire Danes was perfectly cast as her (although it's kind of hard to pronounce the Y and V together of her name). It was so beautiful to watch her quite literally glow as she fell in love with Tristan (they are really a cute couple, I mean Victoria & Humphrey DESERVE each other, she ain't worth IT!).

decent fantasy adventure movie (2008-02-21)

this fantasy adventure movie is not as good as i'd hoped,but it's stillpretty good.it does plod along though for the fist 60 minutes orso,then it pickup for about 20 minutes.from there it slows down,but notas slow as it had been previously.the last 30 minutes are quite good,inmy opinion.things really pick up here,with some great action andexcitement.this movie has some original ideas in it,but it also borrowsfrom other movies.there are some pretty big name actors in this one.andall put in terrific performances.Robert De Niro in particular,gets tohave the most fun with his role,i think.he really letsloose.anyway,this movie definitely has its good moments.for me,Stardustis a 3/5

Ridiculous. (2008-02-03)

Pretty wretchedly conceived and written story, having 'something' to do with true love. The characters are grating, annoying, and horribly precious. Even considering that it's supposed to be a fantasy, it's trite and empty-headed, preferring to run along its merry way harping on about things like becoming an adult with the most shallowest and lame ideas possible. Who is this marketed to? Kids? Adults? The only ones who could possibly like this are people who have absolutely zero connection to reality. Nothing is solid, everything is sentimental, and hokey. Captain Shakespeare?? What the hell was that all about? I'm staggered that such a movie was even made. If there was ever a kernel of depth hidden somewhere deep within the story (perhaps it's present in the novel, which i haven't read), it was long ago crushed by ridiculous conceits and some strange inexplicable egomania coursing right through the whole damn thing.Distasteful and rubbish. Please pass on this.

Zero actually... (2008-01-24)

If you've read the books, do yourself a favour and skip this travesty. Stardust is the worst book adaptation ever. Even worse than Bonfire of the Vanities. The kindly pirate being transformed into a raving, homicidal rapist is just one example of many. Every single bit of magic contained in the books has been stripped away and replaced with hollywood pablum.

Do you still believe in Magic (2007-12-30)

This is a wonderful tale for those of us who still believe in angels and magic. I watched it twice in less than a week and I absolutelely love it!
