Advantages: Fantastic adventure for the whole family
Disadvantages: None

...of you. I won't linger on this review because there is only so much you can say about a film without weakening its impact. I knew very little about the film before watching it, and in fairness that's the best way to see it; less most certainly is more here. But I'd like to end be reiterating my opening remarks, this movie is of exceptional quality, a real epic, you'll laugh, you'll be on the edge of your seat, and you might well cry. Stardust is still at Cinema's doing matinee screenings of the bigger cinemas. For those eager waiting for the DVD however US releases are imminent and a DVD release is scheduled in time for Easter 2008.... Read review

...It was a toss up between MI2 and Essex Boys, Essex Boys won. The film is derived from the Essex Range Rover murders case from three or four years ago. The potential for a good story was good but I came away dissappointed. I you know the Southend area you'll me more interested in picking out local landmarks than the story line. The only decent character was the driver Billy Wizz. Sean Bean (the star) tried too hard to be Vinnie Jones, some of the humour from Lock Stock would have been welcome. This isn't a bad film, but it would be more at home on the small screen, it comes across as a cocktail of The Bill and Lock Stock, unfortunately its more The Bill. Definately one for a wet Sunday afternoon.... Read review

Disadvantages: honestly i can't think of any

...The story is about a young man named Triston who lives in England and is trying to win his loves heart by crossing the 'wall' to get her a fallen star. The magic starts there! He finds the star and is taken on a wonderful adventure and meets lots of different people. Including, witches and princes. Stardust is a very enjoyable film to sit down and watch when you've had a bad day, or just want to watch a feel good film. There is comedic side in there to cheer you up, romance to make you feel good inside, and if they don't tickle your fancy there is also magical element to this film, ready to awe you. All the well known actors/actresses make the film come more to life, and the storyline is almost fairytale like, with a twist. A Must See Film.... Read review
