| Movie Description Director Matthew Vaughn (LOCK, STOCK, AND TWO SMOKING BARRELS) takes his experience with credible crime capers and applies it to the fantasy genre in this charming but not too precious adaptation of Neil Gaiman's novel. The many threads of the story intertwine seamlessly, unfolding at an unforced pace that complements the movie's magical special effects. Charlie Cox (CASANOVA) stars as Tristan, a somewhat bumbling shopkeeper's assistant in the sleepy English village of Wall, so named for the stone barrier that separates it from the magical realm of Stormhold. Tristan is in love with the beautiful, dismissive Victoria (Sienna Miller), who much prefers her other suitor, Humphrey (Henry Cavill), since he has traveled all the way to Ipswich to buy her an engagement ring. Tristan, in a last-ditch effort to win Victoria's affections, offers to bring her a fallen star they've just seen, and she agrees to marry him if he can deliver. Unbeknownst to Tristan, he is the product of his father's (Nathaniel Parker) sole excursion to Stormhold, where he had a tryst with a mysterious slave girl (Kate Magowan) who said she was a princess. As Tristan retraces his father's steps he discovers that the "star" is actually a beautiful young woman named Yvaine (Claire Danes) . A trio of witches, led by a delightfully wicked Michelle Pfeiffer, wants to capture Yvaine to cut out her heart and gain eternal youth, while the three remaining sons of the recently deceased king (Peter O'Toole) compete with one another to find the gem Yvaine wears around her neck. With special effects that never outshine the performances and a sweet story peppered with hints of Gaiman's dark sensibility, STARDUST is a truly enchanting fairy tale.

Top Reviews  A Brilliant And Vibrant Fairy Tale !Review created: 01/08/08 by:  5 of 5 people found this review helpful. Tina saw the Special Preview Program of this film at the SDCC 2007 - San Diego Comic Con International. She thought it would be interesting to see this from the sneak preview they showed at the Con. However the film was released at a poor time. It should have been released during the Thanksgiving weekend or a better time slot, as it did not do well at the Box Offices. Fortunately it is now on DVD! The DVD captures the film and has actual good Bonus Features on it! The film lives up to the graphic novel it is adapted from. The film is based on Neil Gaiman's "Stardust" which is why he was at the Comic Con Program promoting the film! As for the main cast.... Charlie Cox, (a relatively unknown actor), is really good as Tristan, Claire Danes, (As the Falling Star), "shines", and of course Michelle Pfeiffer plays the evil witch next to perfection! The supporting cast was well chosen...each of the seven princes actually had some characterization! Peter O'Toole, (as the dying old King), is memorable in his short scenes. And what can we say about Robert DeNiro, who plays against 'type' in the film! If you missed out on this film at the Big Screens, then this is truly a brilliant and vibrant Fairy Tale to watch, and is good family viewing. Only some 'fantasy violence' and 'risque humour' make a PG-13 rating. We blog post about Sci-Fi Movies as well as other Pop Culture Items in our eBay Blog. Check us out when you get a chance!
