Stardust

Rating: 3/5 Stars (get it??)

Does anybody really want 1000 words on how Stardust is a decent fantasy film? How it isn't a very close adaptation of Neil Gaiman's novella? How it's a bit uneven, makes several missteps, but is still fairly charming? Maybe a long diatribe on how much of Gaiman's trademark whimsical fantasy was omitted in favor of an extended magical battle sequence?

Probably not.

If you're a fantasy fan, go see it. It's worthwhile. I liked it better than, say, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe.

I will say, however, that Michelle Pfeiffer is way hotter than Claire Danes.
