Just saw the movie tonight

Rating: 9/10 (26 July 2007)

We just got back from watching Stardust at a free early preview that was shown here in Clovis, CA.
Parents, pay attention to the PG-13 rating. I noticed some people brought their young children - not recommended. I'm glad I didn't take my 8 year old grand-daughter as there are a few violent scenes that would have disturbed her. I will buy the movie when it comes out on DVD and let her watch it when she is older.
My husband and I enjoyed it very much and would have been satisfied even if we would have paid (although they did get $10 out of us for a popcorn and soda.) I thought the movie was well paced, it kept our interest throughout the entire 2 hours. De Niro fans are going to love him as Captain Shakespeare and he provides the comic relief. Seeing him in this role will be worth shelling out $10 for! Who would have thought he could be so funny!
I gave it a 9 out of 10 for it's genre. Like I said it's good enough to buy the DVD when it's released and will enjoy watching it over and over throughout the years with my OLDER (13yrs +) grandchildren.
