A Great Fantasy Adventure Yarn Worthy of J.R.R Tolkien's Praise!

Rating: 8/10 (16 October 2007)

OK let's get this straight, I am stingy about fantasy films as I used to watch them all the time, so I do have certain standards. Stardust delivers on these standards, and if you all want to do what critics say like Johnathan Ross go ahead because it is your loss! Remember they have been wrong before! Stardust is in league with the likes of Labyrinth and even Lord of The Rings, you must also take into account it was written by Neil Gaiman who also wrote the story for the film Mirrormask.
If anyone has seen either of these films and enjoyed them, then Stardust is a perfect film to add to the fantasy genre. Great acting from Michelle Pheifer and Robert De Niro, and an even better performance from Claire Danes part which surprised me. Great visual effects, a story that keeps you on your toes at every turn. A film worthy of the genre, in a league with Harry Potter and even LOTR! Do not listen to film critics, they are always almost wrong! Take a chance and see a movie which I think will be a worthy rival to Harry Potter this year!
