A great fairytale

Rating: 7/10 (19 January 2009)

To tell the truth I didn't give the movie a great chance in the beginning. The poster makes the movie look like a kid movie and it made me a bit unwilling to watch. But once the movie started I discovered that it was not that bad(it was not bad at all)
The best thing about the movie, though, is the fact that you never say "Come on, even the kids wouldn't believe that" Stardust recreates the fairy tales of our childhood without exaggerating anything and it certainly is a great movie to watch with family.
There is only one thing that I want to criticizer: the ending. I know that the movie is a book adaptation and I never read the book(so I have no idea about the original ending) but I would rather prefer a more thoughtful and creative ending. After watching such an original and creative movie I hoped that the ending wouldn't be the classical "Everyone lives happily ever after" one. It would be much better if they left it in the scene where Tristan became the king.
Except that the movie is fine, and it is great to watch with the family because it reminds the grown-ups their own childhood and magical worlds while it also appeals to the kids whose worlds are magical. Watch it!
