Yikes, this is really bad. Discerning viewers, don't trust the meta-scores on this one folks.

Put Pirates of the Caribbean, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings and Basic Instinct together and mix it with 2 stars and lots of trumpets and horns and one should be able to get at least a decent movie, one thinks. Instead this movie is a real Put Pirates of the Caribbean, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings and Basic Instinct together and mix it with 2 stars and lots of trumpets and horns and one should be able to get at least a decent movie, one thinks. Instead this movie is a real waste of time! Too bad for what could have been nice, really nice; if the director only would have had some individual personality. Expand

If you want to see a good fantasy film go see Narnia or Bridge to Tarabithia.Both are excellent. This film is not in the same league-not even close. The story is unnecessarily long. The entire segment with Deniro is unnecessary, and why did If you want to see a good fantasy film go see Narnia or Bridge to Tarabithia.Both are excellent. This film is not in the same league-not even close. The story is unnecessarily long. The entire segment with Deniro is unnecessary, and why did he do this film anyway? Not Since Rocky and Bulwinkle has he laid such a egg!! The soundtrack wasn't memorable and it was way to loud , but that's the least of the weak points in this film. Bill C. Expand

The story is convoluted and forced. And I'm so tired of UK filmmakers subjecting American audiences to their narcissistic infatuation with royalty, blond-haired, blue-eyed princesses/queens and the sounds of their annoying accents. Speaking of annoying accents, I wish American actors would stop perpetuating this narcissism by proving to us all that they can do an English accent. Actually, the real reason I couldn't get into this movie is because I was constantly distracted by the sight of Claire Danes' huge schnoz peering out from between those curtains of bleach-blond locks.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The world that's created is nice to look at, but the stereotypical nature of the female roles, and the clownlike portrayal of a gay man (by robert deniro!) really took the magic out of the film for me. In a modern fable is it still necessary that the only women with power are evil witches, and that even a female 'star' seems to have no power on her own except to shine with love for a man? Also, that the line of inheritance in a magical kingdom can only pass to a male heir, skipping a female heir who has suffered imprisonment for many years and only gets rewarded by being reunited with a guy who got her pregnant and left her many years ago? And, seriously, Robert Deniro's performance was considered acceptable?? It's a shame for all the visual beauty and reasonable acting ( I have to say, not stellar) to be devalued by these outmoded concepts. I think we can do better than this. Expand

Confusing and nonsensical. Stardust is one of the most chaotic pieces of fiction I've seen in recent memory. Many characters are pointless and do nothing for the plot, the only redeeming party is Michelle Pfeiffer's role in the film.
