An Adult Fairy Tale Everyone Will Love

Rating: 9/10 (25 January 2008)

I wanted to see this film after I figured out what it is was. After I saw the preview, I was like "this looks like a mash of complete random stuff" which didn't really interest me. But once I found out what it was -- Neil Gaiman's work, and allegedly an adult version of "Princess Bride".
I keep hearing "Princess Bride" everywhere I turn. Let me say, it's a lot more like a cross between "Big Fish" and "Pan's Labyrinth" -- I love Bride, but the link is weak.
Is "Stardust" the best film of 2007? I would say it may be. And Robert DeNiro has never shined so bright. Unfortunately, Claire Danes is looking like she needs a sandwich... but aside from that, a flawless film.
