Stardust This is a fantasy/adventure movie set in England starring Claire Daines, Robert De Niro and Michelle Pfeiffer. In this movie a young man named Tristan sets out on an adventure to retrieve a fallen star, which he has promised to his rather spoiled beloved Victoria. But when he crosses the wall in to the magical world of stronghold he soon finds the star is not what he thought it would be and that there are others who are also chasing the star. Tristan comes across all sorts off dangers from witches to pirates of the sky, as he attempts to make his way home and return to his beloved. But as Tristan travels through stronghold his perspective on what is truly important comes in to debate.
Jerico’s view I watched this knowing it was a family type movie fantasy/adventure and watched thinking it would be an ok film. But how wrong I was, this movie was fantastic. I was really surprised as to just how much I loved this movie, the all star cast were all great
choices for their roles and everyone impressed in their roles especially Robert De Niro, he is so far from his comfort zone in this movie but he does it so well, and credit goes to Claire Daines as well who really did stand out in this movie and considering she hasn’t really been heard of for a while, she was brilliant. The only problem with this movie is Ricky Gervais; he is sub-par throughout the movie. The rest of the cast all live up to their roles but he just seems like the guy out of The Office again, half way through I expected him to do that stupid dance. But over all this movie did its job I got a laugh and I felt good after watching the movie and Ian McKellan’s narrating was also good. I’d say any of you reading this should give it a watch. It doesn’t matter what films you enjoy this movie can appeal to everyone and I am sure this will be one of those films where you will want to watch it again and again, I know I did. Jerico’s rating: 8.5/10 All movies I review are available to buy in Second Life.
