I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

I recently re-watched this movie and I'm just as in love with it as I was back then when it premiered. Beautiful love story, great characters played by great actors, exciting and engaging through the whole movie. Definitely a must see for all generations. The only bad thing about it is that a sequel was never made. I will be watching it again soon for sure.

"Are we human because we gaze at the starsor do we gaze at them because we are human?Pointless, really. Do the stars gaze back?Now, that's a question..."<3 9/10 <3If Neil Gaiman is not enough reason for you to see this movie, there are also Claire Danes, Robert De Niro, Michelle Pfeiffer, Peter O'Toole, Ian McKellen, Siena Miller...

A modern take on fairy tales was the spin the marketing team tried to put on this film, which is probably best known for the Take That song 'Rule the World' that appears within it than any of the actual plot points.It's an OK film, modernising the fairy-tale genre isn't the unique twist that the filmmakers seem to think it is.There are lots of big names hamming it up for all they're worth, and some decent enough moments.However there's nothing here to warrant the hype, or to make you wish to watch it again.

STARDUST is one of those flimsy, lightweight, CGI-fuelled effects extravaganzas that have been all the rage in cinema as of late. Eschewing plot and character in favour of pithy one-liners and outlandish caricatures, this is an adventure yarn aimed squarely at the masses and focusing on style over substance. Needless to say I'm not the ideal target audience; I'm a guy who likes something solid in his films among the effects, and I didn't find it here.That's not to say it isn't entertaining. On a superficial level, it definitely is. The CGI effects are pretty good and the fantasy world is well imagined. A near-continuous plethora of cameo appearances also helps out on the entertainment front too: Robert De Niro has a ball as a camp pirate, Michelle Pfeiffer equals him as a wicked witch, and Mark Strong does his snarling bad guy routine very efficiently. Then there are brief turns from Jason Flemyng, Dexter Fletcher, Sienna Miller, Peter O'Toole, Ricky Gervais, David Kelly, Rupert Everett, and Ian McKellen as the sonorous narrator. These help pass the time. Claire Danes is a bit wishy-washy as the fairy-type character, though, and I never did end up warming to Charlie Cox's lead.Still, there are moments of inspiration amid the chaos and the fantasy stereotypes. The ending, in which Strong's character is exposed to all manner of dark magic, is very well realised. There are twists galore, and a level of breathless imagination usually missing from fantasy films. The resultant concoction is a bit like a sugary sweet: fun at the time, but not something you'd want to return too for fear of an upset stomach.
