It is not easy to find something bad to say about “Stardust” though some critics have tried. If you subscribe to the feel-good-romance kind of movie set in a fantasy background, I think you can easily fall in love with this. The converse can be true too. Therefore there are always movies that some enjoy watching and other don’t.
I always feel that if a storyline is well crafted (in this case, a novel written by Neil Gaiman back in 1998), the movie adaptation can’t go that wrong. The casting of “Stardust” includes power-house stars such as Michelle Pfeiffer and Robert De Niro – the acting of both are marvelous – and many others. I enjoyed watching Claire Danes in “William Shakespeare’s Romeo + Juliet” and I certainly enjoy her performance in “Startdust”. Some question the chemistry between Claire Danes and Charlie Cox which I sort of agree (Charlie Cox in animal form doesn’t count! … those glittering eyes …). All in all, the 130 minutes movie is engaging and entertaining. Cynthia loves it. TK and I both enjoyed it. So you get three “yes” from the Movie Review Squad, what are you waiting for? … unless you are not thrilled by the feel good type of movie.
PS. An afterthought: I guess some audience may be engrossed with how different parties pursued the star for different reasons. I particularly enjoy watching from the star’s perspective on what she wants. The romantic hopeless me, I know … sigh.

I enjoyed the show very much. Though, it’s quite predictable. The show has this “fun” element that’s so entertaining to watch. Give it 5 stars! 🙂
Hyacinthus – True, it is quite predictable. I think the story writer goes along what the audience would hope for in a fantasy world. Certainly a fun movie to watch too 🙂 Some ideas are just so … original in a way.
Yeah! I enjoyed the show too….. very nice. Except that I sort of had too high hopes, hoping the magical computer effects can be much more. Still, its a great movie. Seems like gay is the hot topic now… another contender for Jack Sparrow.
Lani – Actually, I too had a bit too high hopes 🙂 But still, it is quite a magical experience. And you are right, gay is the hot topic now. Wait, Jack Sparrow is … gay?!
I definitely enjoy it and LOVE IT~! =D (unfortunately, the DVD is not yet out in HK…)
Lora – I can certainly understand why you love it … since you are so in love … ha ha ha.
[…] it come from? Was it there all these while? Or it exists after I have made an observation? Stardust. A baby appears at my doorstep. I thought of that movie when I saw this mysterious […]
