  • Starring: Charlie Cox, Claire Danes, Sienna Miller
  • Summary: The enchanting tale of a fallen star who crashes into a magical kingdom and turns out to be no ordinary meteorite at all, but a beautiful, imperiled woman chased after by an incredible array of seekers who want or need her secret powers. From wicked witches to power-mad princes, from flying pirates to dueling goblins, each person who encounters the star has his or her own agenda, but they all desire just one thing: her heart.

    Imaginative and intricate, but it's also joyfully casual, maybe to the point of being a little messy in places. But even its flaws work in its favor.

    Perhaps the most surprising thing about Stardust is that its most winning element is neither its delightful story nor its special effects but its sly sense of humor.

    It’s puffed up in obvious ways but disarmingly puckish in others. As that capering pirate, De Niro is god-awful--yet his gung-ho spirit wins him Brownie points.

    Stardust certainly could have gone somewhere fun. But the magic and zip you need to get a blimp like this off the ground is scarce.

    Favorite movie by far. There is a twist around every corner that makes you laugh or move to the edge of you seat. The kind of movie you could watch over, and over, and over.… Expand

    books rock. movies based on books also rocks. for example, Stardust. the actors were entertaining, and the gags were so funny they were the only reason why it sticks to the source material and why was this movie such a big hit? because Take That did the song for it. thats why this made money despite the fact that it didn't became one of the grossing movies of 2007. Stardust is a great adaptation of the book by Neil Gaiman. unfortunately, after the movie got good reviews from the critics, Neil Gaiman plans to make a sequel to the book sooner, later, or someday. thats all I have to say.… Expand

    This is a real misfire. The script definately needed to be tightened, as the story just rambles along, and feels like the filmmakers are just throwing in anything that pops into their heads to fill time, until the climax. Danes and male lead are both bland, do little more then smile at each other as they walk through movie, and have no chemistry together. The male lead actually has a lot more chemistry with Sienna Miller than with Claire Danes, and thus you'd rather have him wind up with Danes. Consider that Danes is a star that fell to earth, no imagination went into her character, that makes her seem anything else but your standard helpless movie heroine, in need of rescuing. I was a big fan of all the Lord of the ring movies, all the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, and also a big fan of "The princess bride", "Ladyhawke", and "Willow". I was really disappointed by this one.… Expand
