You have no idea how many times I've had dreams with Claire Danes riding on a unicorn in them. For that single image, Stardust gets high, high marks from my subsconscious mind. My conscious mind, however, has slightly higher standards for films to meet.
How does Stardust measure up? You can read my review here at donewaiting.com.
Despite a few bits of clunky dialogue and transitions, I have to admit that I enjoyed Stardust. I have no plans to ever buy it on DVD (or even watch it again, for that matter), but I got my money's worth from the theatre experience.
ReplyDeleteCathy (whose never read Gaiman, nor cares much about fantasy) enjoyed it too, so I think my geekness didn't sway me too far one way or the other.
