Reviews on Stardust

"Stardust was Cool! Yes, with a capital C people. I wasn't expecting much, although the movie starred actors such as Peter O' Tool, Meryl Streep and Robert De Niro. Some great acting going on, a great fantasy world, and to be short a great experience. I would recommend watching it on the big screen though, not on your PC or small TV. Get a beamer or play it on a big HD screen. I talked to someone who watched it on a smaller screen and he couldn't really get into the story.

Maybe one has to be more open to stuff like this to really fully enjoy it. I love the fantasy genre (Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings etc.) and I suppose this is a bit of fantasy like that. Also there was so much comedy in this film - I simply was not expecting that. I loved how the blood of royalties was actually blue instead of red (which also helped with the audience rating I suppose) and I loved many many more of these small jokes and funny things in the movie. Wonderfully narrated, great acting from known and less-known actors and a great world of imagination really made this movie in a fantastic piece of work.

I would even recommend this to small children, I don't think it's too scary and it makes for a great fairy-tale."
