Stardust is one of the most underrated films of all time and it proves that Matthew Vaughn is one of the best directors of all time as he is basically a king of every genre, this is a fairy tale but I will say something now and that is it is fun for everyone to watch as Kids will enjoy it and adults will probably enjoy it even more. Not only is this film fun but it's actually really creative and I will take it over any of the Disney Live-Action films any day of the week, all the actors and visuals make this film incredibly special and makes it a unique watch.
This film has such a star-studded cast as well, its really weird because a lot of these actors weren't stars at the time as this film has great performances from Charlie Cox (Tristan Thorn), Claire Danes (Yvanie) and even Henry Cavill (Humphrey) is great for the little screen time he has. But the best performances definitely come from Robert De Niro (Captain Shakespeare) who plays a unique role for him and Michelle Pfieffer (Lamia) who gives a career-best in my opinion.
Grab the popcorn and have some fun everyone because this is a great ride from start to finish.

This movie was recommended by a friend from work. I've been known to not particularly be a fan of love stories or fantasy movies and this movie was a bit of both. However, I'm going to use it to prove a point. As with many other forms of art, quality is quality. I can't stand country music but a good song would shine through (wouldn't it?).
Anyway, the movie does something that is somewhat rare these days: it drops you into a world that you know nothing about on an adventure that seems to have no boundaries or rules. At times it is sweet and other times it is funny but it is always mysterious. The movie is somewhat cheesy but despite being a fantasy it is always believable. Many of the reviews that I read compared it favorably to "Princess Bride".
For the life of me I can't figure out why there wasn't more run on this movie before it was released. I'm not saying that it was the second coming of the Godfather but it was a really nice movie for all ages and it had an all-star cast (Michelle Pfeiffer, Claire Danes, Robert De Niro, Peter O'toole, many others). I watched it with Rebecca and her brother and all three of us enjoyed it immensely despite having decidedly different tastes in movies.
