Lois & Clark Forums Forums General Discussion Off Topic Stardust

Normally I don't post about movies here but I felt this was one of those that might just pass by with out much notice. I wanted to make sure everyone at least went and checked out the plot line to see if it was something they would be interested in.

I think this movie will appeal to a lot of you. It has a bit of magic, a bit of comedy, and a lot of romance. It is based on Neil Gaiman's book "Stardust". I started reading the book right after I watched the movie and it doesn't follow it exactly but the main details are there. If you are a stickler for movie's being exactly like the book you may not like it.

My advise it to go see the movie first then read the book.

If nothing else though... go for Robert De Niro's hilarious character in the movie. This is not a meaningful movie that makes you think about serious issues but one for pure fun. So if you are looking for something light and WAFFY this is one you need to go see.

I thought that movie looked adorable. I'm so glad you liked it! I wasn't even sure it was out, but I'm definitely going to drag someone to go see it with me.

*edit* I just asked my brother and he bolted.

*sigh* I will prevail!

Oh, Adam and I watched this movie yesterday and I have to confess that I loved it! I'm not that into this kind of fantasy movie (except for Harry Potter) but this one is fantastic! Michelle Pfeiffer, Robert De Niro, Claire Danes and the new guy (I forgot his name ) are great in the movie! I think there is something for everyone... it has fantasy, comedy, adventure, action and lots of romance! It's definitely a must see movie! It's on my list of favorite movies now and I'll definitely get the DVD once it comes out

We just bought the book today. Adam had read it before but he is going to reread it... but I know the ending is different from the one in the movie and since I'm a sucker for happy endings I think the one in the movie is better Not that the one in the book is not good... I just like the movie one better

If you haven't seen it, go to the near movie theater now

Raquel (who thinks Robert De Niro is hilarious! )

Thanks for the heads up, Jojo. All I know of Gaiman is that I absolutely adored Good Omens. Somehow though, it never occurred to me to go check out his other books.

I've checked out the official site for the movie and it looks very intriguing. I'll definitely be looking out for it when it finally makes it onto DVD.

Raquel: His name is Charlie Cox.

And yes... he is a reason to go see the movie. Go for the eye candy ladies:



His character was just adorable.

Oh, I couldn't agree with you more, jojo! But then I always had a thing for clumsy guys He is really adorable I can't decide if I like him better in the beginning or by the end of the movie I hate that they're comparing him to Orlando Bloom because I don't like Orlando Bloom

Eee! I just saw it. Thanks so much for recommending it. I absolutely loved it. It was such a breath of fresh air. A really great movie. Something I'm afraid is getting rarer and rarer these days! But it was funny and romantic and suspenseful. Perfect.

And I simply adored Tristan.

I love the book "Stardust" to seven kinds of death and was waiting to see how the film turned out with not a little trepidation. I'm glad you guys think it's so good.

But you know the old joke, right? A billy goat once accidentally ate a can of film. When the nanny goat asked him how it was, the billy goat replied "It was good, but I liked the book better."

Yay! I just went out to Barnes and Noble to purchase a book for a friend and I just happened to see Stardust laying on a table. So... despite the fact that I have an essay for school to write, about 6 books to read, a calculus packet and a fan fic to write, I bought it. I can't wait! I'm glad you liked the book. I'm sure I will as well.

I just saw it yesterday and enjoyed it very much. A little violent at times for my taste but a fresh and very sweet tale nonetheless. Yes, Tristan was quite nice to look at it!

I just saw this today and really enjoyed it. I was on the fence about seeing it, but I was in the mood for a movie and figured if all of you liked then I couldn't go wrong.
