To win the heart of his beloved (Sienna Miller), a young man named Tristan (Charlie Cox) ventures into the realm of fairies to retrieve a fallen star. What Tristan finds, however, is not a chunk of space rock, but a woman (Claire Danes) named Yvaine. Yvaine is in great danger, for the king's sons need her powers to secure the throne, and an evil witch (Michelle Pfeiffer) wants to use her to achieve eternal youth and beauty.

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.

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.

Giovana L Simplesmente incrível,o filme mais legal que vi em um bom tempo, incrível como filmes "antigos" se empenham em ter um enredo bom,sem encheção de linguiça desnecessária,efeitos visuais satisfatórios,e sem politicagem no meio,o jeito como colocaram diversidade não foi forçada,a atuação foi muito boa. Duas horas que com certeza valeram a pena! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/22/24 Full Review Melanie B Fantasy classic with a great cast, fantastic Neil Gaiman story and the film stays true to the book. Great special effects and scenery and Robert De Niro is wonderful. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/21/24 Full Review Indigo O Absolutely a classic! A beautiful romance, whimsy, adventure, and just the right amount of humour! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/30/24 Full Review Zachary A I absolutely love this movie. No it’s not perfect, but it’s whimsical, fun, and pretty. It’s silly, charming, heartwarming, and good. If you like fantasy movies then there’s zero reason you wouldn’t love this. I only deducted half a star bc of some spotty cgi and some dialogue. Otherwise, personal favorite of mine. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/15/24 Full Review Jack W Really good, Robert DeNiro really surprised me in this role. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/12/24 Full Review Alexandre Emmanuel m Es de los pocos casos que la película se me hizo mejor que el libro y aporta mucho al mundo en que se basa. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/18/24 Full Review Read all reviews
