The magical ingredient is Stardust

Rating: 8/10 (18 December 2007)

All the ingredients add up to a magical fantasy film; storyline, characters, humour, scenery, effects and direction. Well stitched together by the two leads Clarie Cox and Claire Danes. Definitely a Princess Bridge for the 21st Century I dislike over use of CGI effects in films but this film had the measure just right, as it did the inclusion of humour and pathos. It borrowed plot devices from witchcraft but still maintained a believable universe 'through the wall'.
I good way to spend a couple of hours in escapism and 10 times better than the Golden Compass which doesn't know whether it's a kids or grown-up film and is neither well.
