Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: An adaptation of the Neil Gaiman novel of the same name, Stardust brings a strong cast together for an enjoyable family feast, with plenty to enjoy. Stardust mixes in romance and adventure, all in a fantasy movie guise, as it follows Tristan on his quest to retrieve a fallen star for the beautiful Victoria. Only it soon becomes clear that there’s a lot more going on as Tristan makes his journey (not least a companion more diverting than the aforementioned Victoria). Michelle Pfeiffer, for instance, returns to high profile movie making (after quite a break) in the role of the evil witch, while there’s space too for Robert De Niro’s pirate and an odd cameo from Ricky Gervais. Seemingly one of a wealth of family films that made it out of the blocks off the success of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, Stardust doesn’t quite hit those heights, but it has quite a sporting go. It’s an uneven tale, albeit one told with enough passion and enthusiasm to encourage you to cut it some slack. And when it gets to the end of the last reel, it’s hard to feel shortchanged by what you’ve just seen. For while Stardust has problems, it also has laughs, adventure, action and a whole lot in its corner to recommend it. And it is worth your time and attention. --Jon Foster Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Not quite as crap as Golden Compass - but closeVery poor adaptation of a good book, with some appalling casting. De Niro as a gay pirate?! Why on earth did they think that would work? and Gervais playing himself yet again (ie annoying). Will appeal to children, who nontheless will have little clue as to whats going on for most of the film - the disjointed plot will leave them going eh? what? why? a lot. A bit of humour from the dead brothers saves it from total direness. Rating:  - Add to your collection.New fairytales are surely dangerous territory for big film studio's to venture into. Stardust has overcome that hurdle by recruiting an 'A' list cast. Having taken that leap of faith, a production of great merit is the result. The triumph of which must be the understated, tongue in cheek delivery by the principles, even the Americans. Robert De Niro way out of his comfort zone does a particulaly good job. Its like a 'Princess Bride', with a big budget. And in that league as well. Enjoy. ... Read More Rating:  - BoringI was given this movie to watch while I was recovering in hospital. It was boring as hell. I didn't get it so I tried watching it again. It still makes no sense to me. Don't waste your money on this garbage. Rating:  - DazzlingQuite frankly, I adore this movie. I adore it. I love it. I have not enough words to sing its praises. Adults and children alike will love it. Neil Gaiman is a fantastic and inventive story teller and his imaginative tales lend themselves well to the big screen - so long as handled correctly. Happily, this film not only handles it correctly but I feel in places even adds to the book. The screen writers have done that rare thing - they have successfully made alterations to a book to make ... Read More Rating: - Delightful family film based on Neil Gaiman's bookMany excellent books have been turned into disappointing films, and quite a few into good films which equal or come close to matching the book. But I can count on the fingers of one hand the films based on books as good as Neil Gaiman's "Stardust" which actually surpass the book. This is one of them. Neil Gaiman himself was joint Producer with Director/screenwriter Matthew Vaughn, and they worked with an all-star cast including Michelle Pfeiffer, Clare Danes, Charlie Cox, Robert De Niro, Sienna ...
