DVD Reviews of Stardust (Full Screen Edition)

DVD Review: Yes and No/ Good and Bad
Summary: 5 Stars

I was mostly satisfied, except for the fact that I ordered the movie in widescreen, and received it in fullscreen. I had to contact the seller to inform him/her of that fact. The pleasant thing is that as soon as the seller became aware of the problem, it was fixed right instantly. I just hope that in the future, these things will not happen. But otherwise, it was perfect!

Fantastically entertaining movie with a great deal of imagination. This movie can been seen each day of the week withoug getting old. Loved it!

DVD Review: use your imagination and let this fantasy flick take you away
Summary: 5 Stars

Good grief what a wonderful escape from everyday stress, to let my imagination blend into following this story and enjoying the beauty of the scenery and the great story. Evil witches, magic, and fantasy abound in a movie sort of intended to include romance as a main theme but it keeps that very subtle. In fact, this movie is worth buying just because of Robert De Niro's performance as Captain Shakespeare on a cloud surfing boat that collects lightning. You'll be flabberghasted at his character and how well Robert De Niro performs with all the pageantry required. I would have liked Kate Magowan to have played a larger role in the movie - what a sight for sore eyes she is. The movie is a rare treat for Sci-Fi/Fantasy fans, and I found myself deeply drawn into the movie - enjoying every bit of it from beginning to end. I recommend this movie as a must have DVD. Buy it. You'll love it. The sets are very well done, a lot of detail and expense went into this movie and I really like how it takes you through so many dangers and still manages to let you be very happy about the ending. For a movie about a star that falls from the sky and takes human form, this movie blew me away. Wonderful experience, marvelously done.

DVD Review: Great Movie!
Summary: 5 Stars

I was very surprised, the trailer does not do the film enough justice. It's hard to believe that anyone would not enjoy this. The HD DVD looked really good. It also included nice extra material such as a "making of"...

DVD Review: A King, some Witches, a Hero and a Girl from the Stars
Summary: 4 Stars

4 of 5 stars for the fantasy adventure movie Stardust. A really nice fantasy movie was fun to watch. A young man lives in a town that borders a magic place; a stone wall is the dividing line. As the young man escapes his town he finds many wonders in the magic land. The movie addresses a couple of generations of time and events. In the future generation, an old king about to die needs to name one of his seven sons as new king. They are sent on a quest. Oh, and the sons have a habit of killing each other. And then there is this girl or is she a star? Not really sure. Yes, a little confusing, but, a funny and nice story. Very well made with a good look and feel. Special effects are well integrated.

All in all, a fun, cute, interesting movie with a couple of plot surprises. Well worth the time to watch. Recommended for teens and up. BTW, Michelle Pfeiffer is still beautiful and one of my favorites--she plays on of the witches (oh, did I mention there are witches?).

Description of Stardust (Full Screen Edition)

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 vigor 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 humor 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
