Stardust- it was okay, could have been better. Some parts seemed very much a graphic novel come to life. I liked the talking ghost brothers. Claire Danes was wrong for the part. The soundtrack was weird, the loud rising orchestra cresendo in every scene was overkill and overdramatic. Some parts of the story and characters reminded me of The Princess Bride where you also had fantasy/adventure/strange new characters/true love message, but the PB was fantastic in every way while this movie fell short. Like in the Princess Bride several characters have a side story going on and they all seem equally interesting yet part of the same story but the characters in Stardust didn't have that same depth or appeal (except for the mother and Captain Shakespeare in terms of their side stories but it wasn't the same).
