Customer Reviews

Michelle Pfeiffer will put a spell on you.

A young man looking for adventure and whatever comes his way breaches The Wall to find a magical kingdom. He is seduced by a beautiful woman who claims to be a captive princess. Later, he finds a little gift at his doorstep. Yep, the little tyke looks like its father. Well, Young Dunstan Thorn is unaware of his heritage and has a soft spot in his heart for a local girl, Victoria (Sienna Miller). He would do anything for her, even bring back a fallen star; this quest will take him to the other side of The Wall, and we will go with him on the quest. This quest reminds you of “The Walrus and The Carpenter” by Lewis Carroll, as we dive into adventure with the fallen star Yvaine (Claire Danes), a witchy woman (Michelle Pfeiffer), a flying pirate (Robert De Niro), and several loving “yeah right” brothers, who are prince’s and would love to get their hands on their father’s (Peter O'Toole) throne. Unlike many stories of this type, we dive in so fast that we have no time to acquaint ourselves with the shock of the other world. They may have been in a tad too much of a hurry to tell the story. However, it had its moments. It had style. It was the best show in town. One double plus part of the film was the narration by Ian McKellen, which takes up about two-thirds of the story. Ian is excellent; however, being a fairy tale, it might have sounded better with the late Edward Everett Horton Fractured Fairy Tales narrator (12 episodes, 1959-1960).

One heck of a "Feel good" movie. And Robert de Niro as you've NEVER seen him before.

A fantasy tale as viewed from the side of those that live in the land of fantasy. In order to win the heart of his true love, Tristan (the hero) goes in search of a shooting star, that has fallen to earth in the fantasy realm that exists on the other side of the wall that surrounds his town. Adventure, peril, and some unexpected surprises lay a head for Tristan (and you). See Michelle Pfeiffer as you've never seen her before... Ugly! See Robert de Niro play a part you'd never believe! He plays a... a... can't tell you, you'll just have to watch and find out yourself. Stardust is a movie you'll watch more than once. Well worth the price.
