A fantasy in the tradition of "Howl's Moving Castle"

Rating: 10/10 (30 October 2007)

As I said many,many times: I have a nack for literary films (movies that are based on books), and fantasy is my favorite genre. Stardust is truly a fantasy in the tradition of "Howl's Moving Castle": a Victorian-style setting and with fairies and witches from another world.
After I have seen the movie, I thought it was an excellent film, and I have even read the original book. You know, in the original book, Tristan's dad Dunstan, after his encounter with the lovely Una, he married a woman named Daisy Hempstock, and after Tristan was found on the door step, they had a daughter named Lousia. So that means in the book, Tristan had a stepmother and a stepsister.
I love Yvaine, the star that fell from the sky because of the medallion of Stronghold. Claire Danes was perfectly cast as her, although it's kind of hard to pronounce the "y" and "v" together of her name. And It was so beautiful to watch her quite literally glow as she fell in love with Tristan; they are really a cute couple. I mean Victoria & Humphrey deserve each other; she (Victoria) really wasn't worth IT!
