Stardust

John and I got a free guest pass for two to see the pre-screening of Stardust tonight. I don’t remember seeing a fantasy movie this good since The Neverending Story. Yes, that is how much I liked it; it is awesome!

The cast is fantastic, every single one of the actors does an amazing job. Like the TV trailer says, Robert De Niro will just make you flip out. Michelle Pfeiffer is one of the best witches you’ll see around. Claire Danes is as sweet as always. And the rest of the cast is fun to watch.

Based on the book by Neil Gaiman, Stardust is the kind of fantasy story that will capture your heart and become one of your favourite movies. I guarantee it.

Loved the movie! Just like you said, great cast… effects very well executed and did not take away from the movie. Couple of awesome camera angles. Great movie.

It’s funny you posted about this, I heard a radio promo for it this morning on my way into the office. Sounded good, although the cast combination seemed a bit odd: De Niro AND Claire Danes?!

I also started to wonder, when the radio spot mentioned “wizards and flying pirates” how it sucks because most people, from here on out, will think any movie or book that features wizards is a Harry Potter knock-off.

Stardust was actually written before Harry Potter, so it certainly isn’t a knock-off. Neil Gaiman has written plenty of fantasy stories. But yes, J.K. Rowling’s stories make everyone think the rest of the authors just want to copy her. ;-)
