Summary: fun and something different
Comment: This is not a film i wanted to see but my girlfriend pursuaded me to watch it. It was fun and
light, with some more darker scenes. I thought the acting was done well and the special effects
were very good.

It's not a serious film with a serious story but the story line was
easy to follow and thoroughly enjoyable as you (as the viewer) were introduced to different
charactrs.

Would recommend to anyone with a lighter side.

Summary: Enjoyable Family Fantasy
Comment: My children bought me this one for mothers day and I've only just gotten around to watching it,
after my husband turned it off after the first 20 minutes some months ago rather unimpressed. />
I persevered with it this time and thoroughly enjoyed this light hearted, fun family fairy
tale about Tristan's quest to recover a fallen star (Clare Danes) and take her back with him to the
village of Wall to show his love for the village beauty. It was very pacy and I liked the way all
the characters were interweaved from the magnificent performance of Michelle Pfeiffer as the
beautiful but evil witch seeking the fallen star to maintain her youth and beauty through to Robert
De Niro's heartwarming potrayal of a gay pirate - watching him dressed up in women's underwear
dancing the can can is something I will never forget and was a shrewd move on his part as an actor
as it shows he can poke fun at his hard man image.

The scenery in this film is
breathtaking and the cameo's by lots of well known actors (Ricky Gervais, Sienna Miller) are very
entertaining and I would thoroughly recommend this film to anyone who enjoys a good fairy tale. />

Summary: A pleasant surprise
Comment: I'm not normally a fan of "family entertainment" or "fantasy" films ("Lord of the Rings" being an
exception.) Even the thought of sitting through Harry Potter (I had to turn it off after 10
minutes) bores me. However, when I saw that Danes, De Niro and Pfeiffer were starring in
"Stardust", I decided to give it a go. From beginning to end, it was a delight. I won't go into
details about the plot, that's been written about enough. One of the great pleasures of the film is
the light hand with which it is handled without ever diminishing the intensity of the various
aspects of the story: the romance, the evil, the adventure. As a result, the film moves along more
swiftly than its running time would suggest. Hats off to the director for accomplishing this so
brilliantly. Visually the film is a stunner. The performances (with only one exception (Ricky
Gervaise, so terrific in The Office, really needs to either learn, or be given the opportunity to do
something different)are marvellous. Clare Danes, for my money the best actress of her generation,
is superb once again, and Charlie Cox (a new actor to me)more than holds his own. Their scenes
together are a delight to watch, charming without ever losing their sense of truthfullness or
slipping into cloying sweetness. I look forward to seeing more of his work. Michelle Pfeiffer,
whom I always adore and who never fails (The Fabulous Baker Boys, Age of Innocence, White Oleander,
etc.) is magnificent. DeNiro in petticoats and feather boas is so brilliantly funny and believable
that I'd love to see a sequel focusing on his character. It was a delight to see him return to the
film in the closing coronation scene in an hysterically funny moment. Along with Brando, Pacino,
Clift, and Seymour-Hoffman, he is one of America's greatest actors (I could watch Raging Bull, Taxi
Driver and the more recent Flawless once a week without ever becoming bored or failing to be awed by
his versatility). As good as Danes, Cox, Pfeiffer and De Niro are, the supporting cast are never
overshadowed. All of them (ok, not Gervaise)are wonderful to watch. The film is loaded with many
wonderful moments: Tristan (Cox) declaring his love for the girl who cares more about what he can
give her than for him; Danes speaking of the heartbreaking sadness as she, a star, feels when she
looks down and sees the cruelty of humanity and the hope she feels when she observes how humans can
love; the reaffirmation of loyalty that Di Niro's pirate crew express to him after discovering his
secret (though they always suspected) and his touching reaction to their attitude; Pfeiffer's
seeming heartbreak when she loses everything and her immediate and scary reversal of attitude.
These are just a few in a film loaded with great moments. I'm looking forward to watching it again.

Summary: 'You want to grow up!'
Comment: A fab twist of you're average fairy tale! Absolutely hilarious, with a lovely 'romance' element too.
And you have to admit that De Niro is AMAZING!!!! Who'd have thought that it would work with him
prancing about in ladies clothes and a feather bower?!? NO ONE!! And that's why it's so great! />
Ignore the bad reviews. Seriously. BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT TRUE!!
