Watch Stardust For Free

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

I'll tell you why so serious

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

Two hours passed by like the falling star and brought me to the world, where everything is possible. All the actors are so sympatic that even the acts of bad characters are somehow hidden in comedial mist and nothing bad can make you hate them. Magic of love, shining of stars, beautiful locations of Scotland, Wales, England and even Iceland are carrying you away to the world over the wall, where death is a funny thing, but hatred is something you can't trust in....The movie draws you in and you forget about time...you are smiling like a small child and feel that warm and kind atmosphere, which reminds you, that love rules the world and is the biggest of all of powers and even the fantastic magic.

This movie came highly regarded from coworkers who couldn't believe I hadn't seen it. 20 minutes in I knew I wasn't a fan, but when I checked here I was baffled at the high rating/view count! Did we watch the same movie?My issue with Stardust is that it's heavily plot/dialogue based and moves the story line quickly, but it's not a particularly great story. It feels like a stream of clichés delivered by uninspired acting. Everyone in this film is white and cis. There are no surprises. It tries so hard to let you know how dramatic it is. You'll notice the "epic" music occurs every other scene.Maybe the strange badness of this movie is part of its charm, but I found it difficult to sit through. It's not completely unwatchable; mildly interesting stuff happens frequently on screen. I'd probably enjoy it more if it wasn't such high production, or had better actors. I really just wanted to turn it off and watch Harry Potter instead.

This is not a great movie, but it is a very good one.Unlike, say, Harry Potter or such, it doesn't get bogged down in its own mythology. It's in the back, a setup for making some funny situations and having some fun in general.Michele Pfeiffer is _great_ as the main witch, villain. There are several very nicely staged and done jokes. In general, the humor is not "thematic", so you can't get annoyed with it. There's wordplay, physical comedy, story-jokes, one-liners... BTW, Michele Pfeiffer has maybe the best part of physical comedy, when she uses magic to stop her advance aging, but it has interesting side-effects.But, it's not just humor, it has a story to tell. It's a naïve story, but, it's nice.I didn't like the extended cameo of Robert De Niro very much, but, it, too, was OK (and it's, like, the worst part of the movie). Second worst is, unfortunately, the ending, which misses a few shots and kind of drifts off the main point of "forget the fantasy, we're just having fun" (and, again, for such a movie, it's OK).With just a few bad elements and none of them being really bad (more not good) and many nice ones, several very good ones and a few great, this gives for some very nice time spent watching this, having fun.

"Are we human because we gaze at the starsor do we gaze at them because we are human?Pointless, really. Do the stars gaze back?Now, that's a question..."<3 9/10 <3If Neil Gaiman is not enough reason for you to see this movie, there are also Claire Danes, Robert De Niro, Michelle Pfeiffer, Peter O'Toole, Ian McKellen, Siena Miller...
