To win the heart of his beloved (Sienna Miller), a young man named Tristan (Charlie Cox) ventures into the realm of fairies to retrieve a fallen star. What Tristan finds, however, is not a chunk of space rock, but a woman (Claire Danes) named Yvaine. Yvaine is in great danger, for the king's sons need her powers to secure the throne, and an evil witch (Michelle Pfeiffer) wants to use her to achieve eternal youth and beauty.

Critics Consensus

A faithful interpretation that captures the spirit of whimsy, action, and off-kilter humor of Neil Gaiman, Stardust juggles multiple genres and tones to create a fantastical experience.

The Spectator

This is utterly formulaic. True, there are a few jokes, but as they are all extraordinarily lame, this can't be called a send-up.

What Stardust tries to say isnt so much about fighting your way to superiority, but letting your whimsy lead you to where you should be. Why fight to be accepted by people you dont actually want to be like?

Crossing it is prohibited as it leads to a magical realm where nothing is to be believed and no-one is to be trusted. Such a charming fantasy love story with an incredible cast and this banger of a theme song.

LOOOOVE this movie. The cast is shockingly stellar. So many great people in this. Just a few burning questions: why didn't Tristan's father try to rescue Una in 18 years? Why didn't Una use her supply of Babylon candles to escape Ditchwater Sal (love everything about that name). How did Tristan learn how to be badass with a sword under 1 week--seemed like he was on the ship for months? Why weren't there any consequences for killing a unicorn? Every bit of lore about unicorns warn against killing them except this one. I wish they could turn this into a series, go darker, and really explore all the characters. Everyone was way too interesting to do justice in only 2 hours. My biggest issues 1/the tone. It was Disney-dark and too silly for the themes being explored. 2/ animal cruelty. I just wish there was a way to tell the story without it.

It wasn't bad but it wasn't that good either. Watch if you're bored and there's nothing else on.

How hard is it to do consistent volume control? Between autistic family members and for consideration for others I was constantly adjusting volume between "can't hear it" and "that's going to make someone angry". I regret the effort I had to go through just to make it to the end of this movie, and how irritated I was by the time I was finally able to put down the remote and walk away.

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars
