Reviews: Stardust
settles over the viewer like
a twinkly cloak. The film,
which captures the magic and
vision of author Neil
Gaiman's fantasy graphic
fable, is a transportive
journey into a world of true
enchantment, which fans of
the Harry Potter
books will enjoy as well as
will adults looking for the
perfect date movie. The tale
is a not-so-simple love
story and adventure, set in
19th century England--and an
alternate universe of
witches, spells and stars
that turn human--and hold
the key to eternal life...more

Plot Summary:
"Stardust," based on the best-selling graphic novel
by Neil Gaiman and Charles Vess, takes audiences on an adventure that begins in
a village in England and ends up in places that exist in an imaginary world. A
young man named Tristan (Charlie Cox) tries to win the heart of Victoria (Sienna
Miller), the beautiful but cold object of his desire, by going on a quest to
retrieve a fallen star. His journey takes him to a mysterious and forbidden land
beyond the walls of his village. On his odyssey, Tristan finds the star, which
has transformed into a striking girl named Yvaine (Claire Danes).
However, Tristan is not the only one seeking the star. A king's (Peter O'Toole)
four living sons – not to mention the ghosts of their three dead brothers – all
need the star as they vie for the throne. Tristan must also overcome the evil
witch, Lamia (Michelle Pfeiffer), who needs the star to make her young again. As
Tristan battles to survive these threats, encountering a pirate named Captain
Shakespeare (Robert De Niro) and a shady trader named Ferdy the Fence (Ricky
Gervais) along the way, his quest changes. He must now win the heart of the star
for himself as he discovers the meaning of true love.
EN 5 Second Review:
The critics love it, we are not so sure that we are
ready for a fantasy quite this fantastic. Too much puff, not enough
plot. DeNiro is great, but that's about the end of it for us.
No,
Stardust isn't a children's movie. It's a movie for anyone, of
any age, who believes in magic -- or wishes they did Amy Biancolli: Houston Chronicle
Three years ago, Matthew Vaughn made his directing debut
with Layer Cake, a ruthless and sharp-witted gangland thriller
starring a pre-Bond Daniel Craig. A blonde showed up, but she didn't
twinkle, and the only noble quest involved some Ecstasy...more
Vaughn,
who made the enjoyably tricky gangster movie Layer Cake,
gets points for ambition, but this antic fantasy eludes his
grasp David Ansen: Newsweek
"Stardust" aims for a "Princess Bride" mix of whimsy and
wonderment, the sardonic and the romantic, with only
sporadic success....more
