I've been a Neil Gaiman fan for quite a while. Not only does he do excellent novels but also has written the excellent Sandman series of graphic novels. I enjoyed the book when I read it and have looked forward to seeing Stardust for quite a while. One of the things that puzzled me was all the buzz around Robert De Niro's performance. To me, after recently watching Taxi Driver this was a real treat. I'm not going to spoil it for you, but let me just say he looks dashing.
This movie was no classic, but it was a cute movie with solid acting a decent riff on the novel's story and some nice looking special effects. My 5 year old wanted to watch Spongebob but the 9 year old really enjoyed it and asked some interesting questions afterwards (like where the witches based on specific elements).
I'd give it a solid B.
