My personal favorite of '07

Rating: 9/10 (27 February 2008)

Normally, I don't let it slide when movies aren't very faithful to the books they are born from - but this is most definitely an exception. Most movies that don't follow their books tend to have continuity problems, and are plagued by bad screenplay. Stardust as a movie, however, flows particularly well and has a mass of beautiful special effects to accompany it.
Take it from a movie addict, this movie is worth watching based on how visually captivating it is alone. Another perfect example of how advanced technology is making watching movies even more unforgettable.
Of the movie's admirable qualities there is the skill level of the actors and actresses. I must applaud them all! Not one character was introduced that I didn't love (or at least love to hate). Charlie Cox and Claire Danes worked well together on screen and had few flaws to speak of - but truly, Michelle Pfeiffer just about stole the show! I've no doubt that most everyone will also enjoy the stories of the Princes of Stormhold (at least what's left of them), Captain Shakespeare, and a certain unlucky trader.
I don't want to give away too much on these characters - I wish you all to be as pleasantly surprised as I was. I'll just say that you will definitely not be bored, and this is a movie I will watch over and over again!
