Laputa! by Alientoast	Jul 21st, 2007 07:55:52 AM
All I could think of when I saw the preview was Castle in the Sky ;)
looking forward to this one by barnaby jones	Jul 21st, 2007 08:20:15 AM
But those of us in the U.K have to wait for fecking ages !
Still not sure.... by fxmulder35	Jul 21st, 2007 08:23:21 AM
The trailer was horrible. Forced. Now some good reviews. Actually, from the un-inspired trailer...I was marking this off my list. Let's hope it's as good as they say.
questionable advertising by scratcher	Jul 21st, 2007 09:26:13 AM
I was shopping for groceries yesterday and saw an ad for Stardust...on the dividers you to separate your food from the next guy's at checkout. If that's their ad campaign, watch out!
Uh... no. by Drunken Rage	Jul 21st, 2007 10:09:06 AM
Why is Robert DeNiro still alive? Damn, I wish he'd just go away already.
Hard to believe Michelle Pfeiffer is almost 50 by Osmosis Jones	Jul 21st, 2007 10:51:30 AM
God DAMN.
It was OK... not great. by codymr	Jul 21st, 2007 12:52:52 PM
Saw this the other day... I liked Matthew Vaughn's LAYER CAKE and I really enjoy the works of Niel Giaman, so I was looking forward to this. Despite a great cast and even some very fun cameos, I have to say I it never came together for me, despite some good individual scenes. The Princess Bride/Shrek "anti fairy tale" comedy is enjoyable though. That said, my GF, not one for SF or fantasy films, loved it?!
The year of Neil Gaiman by mascan42	Jul 21st, 2007 02:05:36 PM
With Stardust, Beowulf and Coraline all coming out in the next few months, maybe he'll have enough clout to finally get Good Omens and American Gods made.
Sleeper hit of the summer... by Yeti	Jul 21st, 2007 03:13:10 PM
word of mouth will start to spread on this one. Trust.
The Chronicles of Riddick by PwnedByStallone	Jul 21st, 2007 07:07:18 PM
I'm sorry but I fucking LOVED this film. I don't get the hate it got. I thought it was one of the most imaginative and entertaining science fiction films of the past decade.
seriously by MrQuick	Jul 21st, 2007 08:29:38 PM
where the hell are the advertisements and trailers for this. I don't feel as though they have made any effort to push this thing out. The only way you would know about this movie is to A. read this site , B. Follow Neil Gaiman, C. come to you in a dream.
Ricky Gervais? by Clonetrooper	Jul 21st, 2007 08:33:59 PM
Why doesn't anybody mention him in their reviews. Because in all honesty he's my first and foremost reason for seeing this picture.
YAAAY I got my review posted by mrfantomashawk	Jul 21st, 2007 09:33:18 PM
oh and clonetrooper, I briefly mentioned Ricky Gervais, I was trying not to leave any spoilers in the review tho.
Who's Ricky Gervais? by Doc_Strange	Jul 22nd, 2007 03:37:27 AM
Never heard of him. But other than that, this looks like it could be a great fantasy film. Definitely will pay to see this.
The cast is awful. by AnnoyYou	Jul 22nd, 2007 04:08:13 AM
What was the director thinking? DeNiro is usually terrible in genre things like this, and Danes is a proven show-killer. The lead actor is totally pallid as well. This looks like a terrible adaptation of a really good book -- much like the upcoming execrable "The Dark is Rising." What is wrong with these people?
Neverwhere.. by Redfive!	Jul 22nd, 2007 05:46:04 AM
It would be cool to see the graphic novel "not the novel" adapted to the screen,I havent seen the tv series but I heard its not very good.
ANNOY YOU by caspartine	Jul 22nd, 2007 05:52:17 AM
YES YOU DO there are probably many things to criticise this movie for but to have a go at the cast without even seeing the film is idiotic
Chronicles Of Riddick?! by codymr	Jul 22nd, 2007 09:31:22 AM
Did I miss something? what's with all the COR comments? Fun flick, but kinda "yesterdays news paper" don't you think?
I CAN NOT WAIT... by blackthought	Jul 22nd, 2007 04:21:37 PM
why must I? sighs.
Big Gaiman fan by Punch Man	Jul 23rd, 2007 04:35:31 PM
But the more ads I see for this the worse it looks. Each thing I see for this seems to be advertising a different film.
Star Dust by 7movies4plays	Jul 31st, 2007 10:02:54 PM
First question, who greenlighted this movie? Answer it had to be a team decision. First its a simplified fairytale. Second Bob Deniro waits too long to get in the movie. Third they wasted 30 million. Fourth the acting sucked. Fifth, they should of had DeNiro really meet M. Phifer. Sixth, the movie sucked. If it wasn't for me thinking I lost something, Damm cannot turn on the phone to find anything on the floor, I would of left. Aint this movie on bittorrent already? Seventh the securityty kept using those night view finders. Was Bin Laden in the audience? Eight, the screenplay sucked. Nine, well the typical hollywood ending. Ten, the whole wall thing SUCKED. Eleven, I would have asked for a refund, if it wasn't a free movie preview. Twelve, the next time De Niro wants to combine his Analyze this, Good Fellas persona with lets say Mork meets Mindy in drag. Don't do it as Joe Pesci would say.
Ugh, I liked it way better than Pan's Labyrinth by Drath	Aug 11th, 2007 06:21:33 PM
Sorry, that movie was too gruesome and repugnant for me. It really was the cat's meow to some people, but I found it utterly dispicable. To each his own. Stardust on the other had was loads of charm and fun. I wish it was doing better in the box office, it deserves a better reception that it seems to be getting. Sadly some movies I shall not name that were absolute crap will probably have better Box Office this year than Stardust. Damn shame, but thank god for DVD.
