The Best, Most Complete film of 2007

Rating: 10/10 (14 January 2008)

After seeing abominations such as Transformers and movies with great acting but nearly no plotting (re: There Will Be Blood), it was a genuine delight to experience Stardust.
Except for the unfortunate character stereotype (sort of) Captain Shakespeare, the script is superb for its genre, the performances are scintillating, and the production values are excellent. It never takes itself too seriously (a contemporary methodology) and moves along rapidly while providing adequate amounts of humor, pathos, and the occasional special effects.
It was not successful in its USA theater run, but seems to be doing just fine in rentals and DVD sales as the word becomes widespread that people have missed a genuinely good film.
