Certainly Enjoyabls,but a Very Messy Plot and the Lead Roles don't Shine,

Rating: 7/10 (1 February 2015)

Stardust is a good movie with a well developed storyline and a great cast.It certainly wasn't the fun fantasy movie I was expecting it to be,it did look beautiful and I won't deny that many scenes were very enjoyable visually,but it simply wasn't as good as it could have been,although I know many people will disagree seeing that this has a 7.7 rating.The performances that stood out the most for me were the supporting roles and the cameos,Robert de Niro was terrific as he takes a turn at being the comic relief,Michelle Pfeiffer shines as Lamia,Ricky Gervais's cameo was a highlight for me,and Ian McKellen's narration was superb.I was really not taken with the lead roles,I know that Matthew Vaughn likes putting small actors in the lead,with a host of very well known faces to support them,but Charlie Cox and Claire Danes,for me,just didn't shine in any way,their characters were cliché,boring and with all the unique characters surrounding them I just kept losing more interest in their love story.Stardust is certainly not outstanding and has many faults,but its a fun fantasy and adventure that is worth a watch if you ever see it on television.
A young man makes a promise to his loved one that he will retrieve a fallen star by entering a magical land,but his adventure is not as straight forward as it may have originally seemed.
Best Performance: Robert de Niro
