 completely enchanting fantasy film November 1, 2007
A. Craig (London United Kingdom)
If you have a child of 9+, this is a treat. I wasn't expecting anything special, especially not with the plethora of good adaptations of famous novels around, but my 12 year old and I were captivated.
It begins in our world ion a village called Wall, so called because it's close to a wall guarded by an old man, which is supposed to divide our world from that of Faerie. One day, a bold young man tricks his way past, and finds himself outside another village, where miniature elephants are kept in cages and a beautiful young woman, slave to a witch, chooses a flower to bring him luck in exchange for a kiss, and more. Nine months later, a baby boy, Tristran, is brought to the wall and left with his father. When he grows up, he works in a shop and is teased and despised by the lovely shopkeeper's daughter, Victoria.
Meanwhile in Faerie (yes, twee) the old king is dying and his remaining sons - those who have not yet managed to murder each other for the throne - sends a jewel up into the sky to help find the true heir. Unfortunately, this knocks a star out of the heavens, who comes to earth as the beautiful Clare Danes. The heart of a star has the power to return youth even to witches, and one of the three most evil ones, played by Michelle Pfeiffer, sees it fall and sets out to find it. But Tristran, courting his sweetheart, happens to have seen the star fall too, and has jumped over the wall to find it and bring it back as proof of his love...
What makes this film special are the unexpected twists Gaiman's script gives to traditional fairytale elements. It's funny, mad, touching and above all exciting. The actors are all clearly having a ball playing their parts (esp Pfeiffer) and de Niro as a cross-dressing pirate ("We always knew you was a whoopsie", his cut-throat crew tell him, kindly)is a delight. Apart from Harry Potter 6 and The Golden Compass this is THE children's DVD to buy of 2007.

You all know the Christmas carol, so maybe you'd like to sing along with me as you read this review about a remarkable fantasy film that should be on everybody's Santa list this year.
Said the night wind to the little lamb
Do you see what I see?
Way up in the sky, little lamb
Do you see what I see?
A star, a star
Dancing in the night
With a tail as big as a kite
With a tail as big as a kite
Once upon a time, and a long time ago, there lived a king who had seven sons. Apparently not very imaginative in the naming department, he named them Primus, Secundus, Tertius and so on until he got to Septimus. As per family tradition, the last brother left standing would inherit the kingdom, and pretty soon it came down to the final four. The king changed a ruby into a diamond and cast it out into the heavens, decreeing that the brother who found it and changed it back into a ruby would rule them all. Of course, there can be only one, and soon it's every prince for himself.
The story revolves around a star that tumbles to earth as a result of the aforementioned family feud, assuming human form in the likeness of Claire Danes, who certainly does have the right sort of luminosity to pull off the role. Soon it's open season on Yvaine, for that is the name of the star, with Tristan (Charlie Cox) seeking a gift for the girl he loves, Lamia the witch (Michelle Pfeiffer) out to gather some heart of star beauty treatments, and the last (but not least) prince seeking his kingdom.
Packed with excitement, magic, comedy and romance, as well as morbid humor, lots of murder (without blood or gore) and Robert DeNiro as you've never seen him before, you won't even notice that you've been glued to your seat for over two hours.
It may not be suitable for younger kids as there's a fair amount of violence and some really ugly witches (though none uglier than Angelica in The Witches), but fantasy lovers (people who love fantasy - not the famous personality you've been dreaming about) will find this movie absolutely amazing and enthralling. I certainly did.

Magical classic fairytale for all ages November 15, 2007
Mrs. L. Martin (UK)
I went to see this film with my two children aged 6 and 8. From the moment the film began we were all transfixed. It was lovely to see something that we could all enjoy. A classic fairytale story for all the family which includes all the features you would expect from a Brothers Grimm tale but with some great additional twists especially provided by Mr De Niro which gave it a wonderfully up-to-date mix. Great Movie, cannot wait for the DVD!

We have just been to see this film and I thought it was one of the best films we have both enjoyed for a long time.
Not once was it boring or turgid. It kept the pace going, made the audience laugh, had a very likeable cast, excellent action - FANTASTIC score, good special effects without there being too much CGI all the time and has a good internal logic to the plot without sacrificing the character development. The whole thing just had the right amount of charm without making me want to barf and also avoided the terrible stilted English of films like Lord of the Rings where everyone talks so seriously, their speeches filled with lots of drama and gravity...
And it made me happy to watch it. This is going to become a Christmas holiday classic! It definitely deserves to be in the top 250. It's a film that everyone can enjoy. And for the genre it's in, which is a light, romantic fantasy, it really hits most of the right notes. For once, you have an adventure story that is not utterly predictable or unintelligible. I thought the ideas were imaginative and didn't contrive to talk down to the audience. For a PG, it tackled some quite big themes and did them really well.
For those who want to compare it to Citizen Kane, oh, do grow up. It's not trying to be a technical masterpiece. It's good entertainment...one of the best this decade, in fact.
You will love this film! November 18, 2007

This is the best film i have seen all year. Stardust is amazing. I have been raving to everyone i know to urge them to see it as it doesnt disappoint.
It honestly keeps you engaged from start to finish. The storyline is well thought out and the acting is superb. I was mesmerised and very pleased that it works both for adults and children.
When it it out on DVD to buy???
