Jas A @Smartpop Jan 3 Stardust is a whimsical and enchanting fantasy, elevated by a stellar cast that delivers mostly strong and believable performances. The sets are imaginative and well-designed. They capture the storybook fantasy vibe, and for its time, the special effects hold up surprisingly well. That said, the plot is highly formulaic. While it clearly aims for a Brothers Grimm–style fairy tale (the poor village boy destined for greatness), the characters are largely one-dimensional and the story unfolds predictably, like following a trail of breadcrumbs. The film also feels like an attempt to capitalize on the success of The Lord of the Rings, but that influence ultimately leaves it feeling a bit hollow. It’s enjoyable in the moment, charming even, but ultimately forgettable. See more mohamed cherif l Nov 14 An absolute pleasure to rewatch this movie with my kids ! It's full of wonder, humour, action, drama and love, l'm definitely saving it for another movie night by Winter holidays 😊 See more Leaburn O Nov 12 This is a nice easy fairytale story to watch. Well made with some funny cameos from famous faces. The actual plot is just standard fairytale stuff but it has enough charm to work. Watched on Amazon Prime.

Stardust is often underrated because the plot seems predictable: a boy sets off on an adventure, grows stronger, and finds love where he least expects it. But it’s precisely this simplicity that makes the film so enchanting. It has everything you love about fairy tales: witches, heirs to the throne, sky pirates, and a fallen star that turns out to be a girl. The atmosphere is warm, slightly ironic, and the characters are lively and vivid. The ending is truly bright and “just right” — the kind that leaves you with the feeling that good has triumphed beautifully. Stardust leaves a warmth behind and reminds us that sometimes we need fairy tales more than realistic dramas. See more Jude M @judemcdermo Aug 23 What a fun romp of a film.

Just kidding, my favourite non-LOTR fantasy movie ever and with the most perfect ending that any movie ever had. See more Read all reviews
