PUNTABULOUS DOES THE MOVIES

Here are things I loved about Stardust:

1. The fact that you can have a historical fantasy movie without an “epic” battle between armies of computer generated creatures.

2. The understanding that a good swordfight can be just as exciting as an “epic” battle.

3. No impassioned speeches given atop horseback preceding the “epic” battles that did not take place, as discussed above.

4. The word “epic” not appearing anywhere in the marketing for this movie.

5. Charlie Cox.

6. Michelle Pfeiffer.

7. Every other actor who participated in the production of this movie.

8. The narration by Ian McKellen.

9. It wasn’t afraid to be silly. (Bonus points to Robert DeNiro for extra silly.)

10. The super-romantic wonderful ending.

Everyone needs to see this movie immediately. In fact, I might need to see it again.

    I have been wondering whether I should see this movie or not as it’s not really within my favorites genre, but now I will have to give it a go.

    I loved it for all those reasons too, especially #5 (although I like him better with the short hair).

    I think it was Peter O’Toole narrating though. He also played the old king.

    Wait… I stand corrected. I just looked it up on IMDB, and unless they’re wrong, you’re right. I could have sworn I heard it was Peter O’Toole.

    Took my 12 year old daugther to it last night. I really really enjoyed it, she really enjoyed it. (one really) I think some of the humour went over her head but it was great fun.

    Scott, Peter O’Toole appeared in the movie as the dying king.

    Craig, thank you so much for recommending this. Cameron and I absolutely loved it. Michelle Pfeiffer was amazing beautiful and Robert DeNiro was outstanding. Loved his role. And that Charlie Cox? Who is he and where did he come from? I sat there the whole time going, “I would just love to kiss him.” So cute!

    …but not as cute as you, of course.
