Critic Reviews

Stephanie Zacharek

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. Read full review

Peter Rainer

Danes doesn't quite fit into the mindscape – she's too bland for a human star – but Cox comes of age quite convincingly, De Niro is a hoot, as is Ricky Gervais as a slimy tradesman. Pfeiffer has a field day. Read full review

Tasha Robinson

The film's merry, enthusiastic tone--set largely by Robert De Niro, playing a giddy transvestite sky-pirate to the hilt--is hard to beat. Read full review

John Anderson

Sprinkled with tongue-in-cheek humor, fairly adult jokes and some well-known faces acting very silly, this adventure story should have particular appeal to fans of "The Princess Bride," but in any event will never be mistaken for a strictly-for-kids movie. Read full review

Shawn Levy

Stardust in a nutshell: hardly great shakes, but better and more satisfying than it first seems. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Maitland McDonagh

Thank goodness for Pfeiffer's Lamia, a harridan who's lived long enough to get the face she deserves and will do anything to hide it. She's a wicked delight. Read full review

Wesley Morris

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. Read full review

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.

Robert De Niro is wonderful. We are still periodicly raising fists, growling "ARRR" and giggling. A delicious romp.

Hands down, the most versatile fantasy movie of all time. It has it all: drama, comedy, suspense, exhilaration; it is as much a love story as a story about humanity, the good and the bad; you could probably sieve a few dozen life lessons out of Stardust.

It has it all: drama, comedy, suspense, exhilaration; it is as much a love story as a story about humanity, the good and the bad; you could probably sieve a few dozen life lessons out of Stardust. The hopelessly romantic will probably be in tears at certain points. The hopelessly cynical should probably dilute their coffee a bit, if they are to retain an open mind while watching this. The only potential downside in Stardust is one that belongs to the purists, those who will cry foul at the movie's one major departure from the book. But I will not spoil. I am a purist myself and I stil love it.… Expand

Fun Movie. Very enjoyable if you like fantasy type movies with witches and magic. Acting is excellent and storyline is well done. Pfeiffer and DeNiro do a great job. Go see it.

It wasn't. It's way too long. The story is convoluted and forced. And I'm so tired of UK filmmakers subjecting American audiences to their narcissistic infatuation with royalty, blond-haired, blue-eyed princesses/queens and the sounds of their annoying accents. Speaking of annoying accents, I wish American actors would stop perpetuating this narcissism by proving to us all that they can do an English accent. Actually, the real reason I couldn't get into this movie is because I was constantly distracted by the sight of Claire Danes' huge schnoz peering out from between those curtains of bleach-blond locks.… Expand
