After a long time, finally comes a fairy tale that has quality and does not rely on a completely infantile plot and even more infantile actors. In two hours the director has served me a lot of genres from first class fantasy, to action adventure to beautiful fairy tale romance. Robert De Niro rocks as Captain Shakespeare, I rolled with laughter at him. Michelle Pfeiffer is great as the gorgeously morbid witch, even with her plummeting bust and brutal hair fall. The visual effects and the music are a great. A fairy tale as it should be.

I only needed a pleasant mood, a head full of imagination, and a few minutes in the Wall. Thanks to the second viewing of Stardust, it became the most pleasurable delight in a very long time. With this, I am paying a huge tribute to the story of Tristan, Yvaine, and Septimus, and I am slowly setting off to search for the star. This radiant enlightenment has given me a romantic mood for months to come. Matthew Vaughn, with numerous violations of cliché and at the same time confirming all the necessary aspects of a great adventure spectacle, has created a heartwarming film after which fairy tales will never be the same as before. Now excuse me, I'm going to dry my eyes. But it's not because of being moved, it's just some specks of dust that fell into them. Guess what kind.

An engaging story with a pleasant esprit of British dry humour and finally, after a long time, a fairy tale that does not make a fool of the children and delights the adults with its wit and the originality of its setting. I'm sure I'll read something by the oddball Gaiman sometime. Matthew Vaughn has grown up, and the likeable De Niro hasn't had such a rewarding role in a long time (his "travesty dance" in The Wardrobe is, I'd say, a rare moment in his long acting career). I don't mind the visibly limited budget at all, because this film has a soul and that's worth it. The slightly rushed finale is a bit of a pity perhaps, but otherwise it’s a very nice film.

Stardust is a gem with a playful soul hidden in an undignified shabby technical garb. That is, exactly the opposite of what is usually the case these days. P.S. About a year and a half later: With each subsequent screening (it's a small miracle in itself that I voluntarily watch something more than once), I love it more and more. Slowly, but very surely, it has become one of my favorites... ♫ OST score: 5/5

A wonderful family movie made even more special thanks to Gaiman’s imagination and his feeling for story. Marvelous casting, from the beautiful Claire Danes all the way down to the horrible Peter O'Toole;everybody fits their roles perfectly and Vaugh demonstrates that he really knows his stuff. Why can’t life be a fairytale like this too?
