If it’s good enough for Seeing Green…

Stardust is probably the best of the movies I have seen with my son, most of which are formulaic (Eragon), overloaded with special effects (Transformers),
trying too hard to be hip and funny (anything by Dreamworks) or
marginally entertaining (too many to name.) I do, however, grit my
teeth and go see them for his sake.

Stardust was an extremely pleasant exception. Based on the novella of the same name by Neil Gaiman, and directed by Matthew Vaughn,
it has all the elements of the classic fantasy story… a Quest, a
likable young hero (Charlie Cox), evil witches (four of them, Michele
Pfeiffer being the most evil,) villainous characters (an airship
captain (Robert De Niro) and several unsavory brothers who vie for the
kingdom of Stormhold) and, unexpectedly, a true love story with the
unlikely female star being, indeed, a real star…a fallen one, that
is, in the shape of the beautiful, injured and cranky Claire Danes.
