Editor's Notes and Comments:
Description:
Escape into the enchanted world of chivalry and romance in Stardust, an epic tale starring Claire Danes with Michelle Pfeiffer and Robert De Niro. In hopes of wooing a beautiful girl (Sienna Miller), Tristan (Charlie Cox) promises to bring her a falling star. But he’s in for the adventure of his life when he discovers the star is actually a celestial beauty named Yvaine (Danes) When an old witch Lamia (Pfeiffer) attempts to steal Yvaine’s youth, Tristan must protect her at all costs, in this magical family adventure that will make you fall in love over and over again.

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.
Young Tristan (played with wide-eyed vigour by Charlie Cox) vows to retrieve a fallen star for the most beautiful girl in the village, the shallow Victoria (Sienna Miller), and in his quest, finds his true love--in a true 'meet-cute' moment (by Babylon-candle-speeding into the just-crashed human incarnation of the star, Claire Danes). Much of the film involves the duo's journey back home--though home for Tristan is his village, and home for the celestial Yvaine is, of course, in the heavens. There are villains, notably Michelle Pfeiffer as the vain witch who seeks the fountain of youth a fallen star can give, and the seven venal sons of the dying king of the mythical realm, backstabbing, grasping, and hilarious--even in death as a ghostly Greek chorus.
While the sparks of love between Tristan and Yvaine are resonant and touching, Stardust truly succeeds as a brilliant fantasy yarn--and as a comedy with more than its share of belly laughs. Much of the humour belongs to Robert De Niro, who plays a notoriously wicked air pirate, who is secretly a bit light in his swashbucklers. Ricky Gervais has a small but memorable role essentially channeling his character from Extras, including his catchphrase, 'Are you having a laugh?!' The special effects are all that any fan of Gaiman would wish for. Catch a bit of Stardust and you'll feel enchanted for a good long while. --A.T. Hurley

Sometimes we are blind to the truth. The truth is better, so we shouldn't be attached to a bad reality. Enjoy!

I just love this movie and can watch it over and over. It's so much fun and has a little bit of everything in it. Even the boys can enjoy.

it is very rare that I find a movie that's actually better than the book! Stardust was a okay enough read, but after seeing the movie, the book wasn't as interesting to me (I admit I saw the movie before the book) but I feel that my comments are justified.
The movie made a big scene with the pirates in the sky. I loved the leader who was secretly a cross-dresser and all that, and he added a lot of fun to the overall story. But in the book he is not even named, and Tristran's trip on the airship is mentioned in but a couple of sentences.
Having the witches fight in the movie (which never happened in the book) was also an added treat. I loved the story, the visual effects, the actors.
Usually, to me, the book is better than the movie, because books have scenes in them that were cut from the movie. In this case, the movie added things that the book was lacking in, for a very pleasing change.

one of the feel good movies in my collection. stardust takes u on a ride and never lets up. and the character growth is amazing. tristian was a guy who everyone relates to. and the star "claire danes" was enchanting. great fantasy movie that beats out narnia and all the hp movies.
