Critics Consensus

A faithful interpretation that captures the spirit of whimsy, action, and off-kilter humor of Neil Gaiman, Stardust juggles multiple genres and tones to create a fantastical experience.

The Spectator

This is utterly formulaic. True, there are a few jokes, but as they are all extraordinarily lame, this can't be called a send-up.

What Stardust tries to say isnt so much about fighting your way to superiority, but letting your whimsy lead you to where you should be. Why fight to be accepted by people you dont actually want to be like?

Crossing it is prohibited as it leads to a magical realm where nothing is to be believed and no-one is to be trusted. Such a charming fantasy love story with an incredible cast and this banger of a theme song.

Doesn't have to be a send-up: It's a perfect fairytale as it is. If you like these (eg Princess Bride, Labyrinth, Pan's Labyrinth etc) you'll enjoy this one. A charming film with a Good and sl offbeat ending

Still as amazing and enchanting on rewatch 18 years later as it was when it first came out. This is a classic with lovable characters, a fun story and true love. Like a Modern Princess Bride and with a star studded cast, some in their prime and some before they were studded.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
