The oddball elements may surprise viewers expecting something a bit more ordinary in approach, but the surprise should be a pleasant one.

Reviews for Stardust
Bestowed an introduction that would surpass the second coming of Christ for sheer jaw dropping wonderment, forty nine year old Pfeiffer proves she is still an unmatchable beauty.

There was just enough connection between Claire Danes and Charlie Cox that happily ever after is exactly what I wanted.

On the surface, Stardust looks like a cheesy little fluff fantasy. In many ways it is. Yet at the same time, it's also the most fun I've had with a film since watching the first Pirates of the Caribbean.

Primo contemporâneo de A Princesa Prometida, o filme também traz referências óbvias a Macbeth e Rei Lear em sua agitada trama, revelando um senso de humor eficaz e com toques sombrios que o transformam em uma mais do que bem-vinda surpresa.

Like the star that falls to Earth near the beginning of the movie, Stardust is glittery and pretty and possesses its own pleasing-enough personality, but it won't set the world on fire.

Top Critic Stardust is, ultimately, a pretty entertaining movie. It's just not the great film that it so easily could have been.

I began smiling a few minutes into the picture, and I never stopped smiling until the end of the closing credits.

Director Matthew Vaughn, best known for his grotesque gangster slasherfest Layer Cake, has absolutely no problem balancing equal servings of breathtaking imagination and perverse glee.

Wants to be the next-generation Princess Bride, and, boy, does it come close.
10/30/07
Should be congratulated as a film that aspires to the non-mainstream genre of fantasy fairy tale with a hint of Brothers Grimm edginess.
10/22/07
Despite its faults, Stardust should at least be accounted a partial success - and certainly more than a failure.
10/19/07
There's a shameless romantic streak here, quite welcome in a boy-targeted genre that usually insists battles are cool and love is for wimps.
10/19/07
A wackily surreal, primary-coloured fairytale from a graphic novel by Neil Gaiman.
10/19/07
Vaughn pays scant attention to the niceties of a well-told story and buries his shekels in a sparkling cast.
