    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.
  2. 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

    Entertaining movie but a little to sappy. yeah yeah love conquers all blah blah. De Niro's character adds much needed humor. The plot twist was very weak. This is a rental movie, watchable but don't waste your money on the theatres. Expand

  3. This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The world that's created is nice to look at, but the stereotypical nature of the female roles, and the clownlike portrayal of a gay man (by robert deniro!) really took the magic out of the film for me. In a modern fable is it still necessary that the only women with power are evil witches, and that even a female 'star' seems to have no power on her own except to shine with love for a man? Also, that the line of inheritance in a magical kingdom can only pass to a male heir, skipping a female heir who has suffered imprisonment for many years and only gets rewarded by being reunited with a guy who got her pregnant and left her many years ago? And, seriously, Robert Deniro's performance was considered acceptable?? It's a shame for all the visual beauty and reasonable acting ( I have to say, not stellar) to be devalued by these outmoded concepts. I think we can do better than this. Expand
