| Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: An adaptation of the Neil Gaiman novel of the same name, Stardust brings a strong cast together for an enjoyable family feast, with plenty to enjoy. Stardust mixes in romance and adventure, all in a fantasy movie guise, as it follows Tristan on his quest to retrieve a fallen star for the beautiful Victoria. Only it soon becomes clear that there’s a lot more going on as Tristan makes his journey (not least a companion more diverting than the aforementioned Victoria). Michelle Pfeiffer, for instance, returns to high profile movie making (after quite a break) in the role of the evil witch, while there’s space too for Robert De Niro’s pirate and an odd cameo from Ricky Gervais. Seemingly one of a wealth of family films that made it out of the blocks off the success of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, Stardust doesn’t quite hit those heights, but it has quite a sporting go. It’s an uneven tale, albeit one told with enough passion and enthusiasm to encourage you to cut it some slack. And when it gets to the end of the last reel, it’s hard to feel shortchanged by what you’ve just seen. For while Stardust has problems, it also has laughs, adventure, action and a whole lot in its corner to recommend it. And it is worth your time and attention. --Jon Foster |

Rating:  - Shockingly badI paid £3 for this in a zavvi sale and i still think i got ripped off! don't bother it's not even worth it for a bit of fun Rating: - A Crock of StardustA cynical and horrendously-executed (not to mention over-acted) piece of film-making. This film has nothing to recommend it. Genres are sewn together like Frankenstein's limbs: the only difference is that Frankenstein had some life and a great deal more intelligence. Still, it is good to go to bed knowing that all the (over- and under) actors involved will have been able to scoop enough cash to pay the petrol bills for their 4wheel drive tanks for the next couple of years. This was fantastic! ... Read More Rating:  - Magical!This is one of those few occasions where I have to say that I preferred the film to the book. The film really enhances the basic story of the book and turns it into a really enjoyable film. When you try to explain the plot - a clumsy, geeky, naive boy (Charlie Cox) crosses a wall into a fantasy land to catch a falling star, (who happens to be a person played by Claire Danes) avoid crazy old witches and power thirsty princes, meet some sky pirates and return the star to a spoilt brat (in the form of ... Read More Rating: - SuperbReleased in 2007 and based on Neil Gaiman's 1998 novel, Stardust is an unexpected gem among recent SF and fantasy films, a fairytale with some interesting and modern twists delivered by a cast on fine form. The movie opens with young Englishman Dunstan Thorn crossing the forbidden wall near his village to investigate the magical kingdom that is said to lie beyond. There he has an amorous encounter with a young woman claiming to be a captive princess. Nine months later, after Dunstan's return ...

The film was not disappointing either, although I thought in certain parts it wasn't as good as it could be...like the part played by Ricky Gervais, which ISN'T in the original story, and to be honest, makes the film drag a bit. I like Ricky Gervais - sort ... Read More |
