STARDUST [2007] review

I had medium expectations for STARDUST, bolstered by its 8.1 rating on IMDB, but that rating just goes to show that IMDB can be trusted less and less these days. STARDUST is just a movie that totally didn’t need to be made. It had no original message, and no original way of telling the same old story of dumb boy becoming a man and eventually falling in love with the right girl.

Claire Danes and Charlie Cox as the leads had zero chemistry together, and Danes who I always like, I actually couldn’t stand in this film. The only barely passable scenes in the film were the ones with Michelle Pfeifer being bad as the leader of three witch sisters. I felt embarrassed for Robert Deniro. The score was decent, but it was holding up an embarrassing script and weak action scenes. The special effects were pretty weak as well.

Someone in the row below me fell asleep and was snoring loudly, it was pissing me off, but I can understand what caused it.
