Just wonderful

Rating: Null/10 (15 April 2011)

Stardust is just a fantasy movie like I want it to be. It does have excitement, humor, colorful characters and a good story. That it does contain magic and witchcraft is a plus too. I rather have this than the endless battle scenes you got to see in for example Lord of the Rings. There is not much fighting going on in this movie so the filmmaker concentrated could concentrate much more on the plot and does a very good job of that. The story might have been done before but it's certainly not something that I would expect in a fantasy movie. I want to give a special mention to Michelle Pfeiffer and Robert de Niro who really excel in their roles. They do have so much experience and prove despite their age they have not lost any of their great acting abilities. Michelle was perfect as the bad but beautiful witch which was not her first time in such a role as she played some kind of a witch in the Witches of Eastwick long before this one. De Niro was really funny in his role as the commander of an air ship and I really had a good laugh with one particular scene of him. Yes the humor is absurd at times like the princes who die one by one and land as ghosts into a waiting room watching the story develop as if they were sitting in theater as well. Bu that didn't bother me one thing, on the contrary it was refreshing. Okay the love story of this movie might be quite cliché and predictable but it didn't make me think of the movie less. I just love it and would recommend it to anyone who loves an entertaining movie.
