Seen it? Don't tell me ~ I don't wanna know yet.  Really, though, if you have seen it, and especially if you've already read the book, please let us know if it's worthwhile, or a good adaptation. I'm hoping it is, but I was hoping to see other people's opinions as well. |

Saw the movie and at first was getting board off with the film but then it pick up well after the cottage scene. I had wonderful time watching the film and amaze by the storytelling in movie screen.
I had a wonderful time with captain who I'm surprise is Robert De Niro...He becoming my favourte comedian to watch

The trailer was absolutely terrible.
The film was absolutely fantastic. Best film I've seen all year.
Once again incompetent marketing bozos kill a film's buzz & box office with bad advertising.

I haven't seen the film yet- kind of afraid it won't measure up to the book, which I LOVED.
Can anyone who has seen it describe the biggest and most disappointing changes made? I need to brace myself. I may just be overreacting to a stupid trailer, but still.

Good to hear that.  Had you read the book first? They didn't completely kill it, did they? I'm still considering seeing it, if I ever get through the book ~ I mislaid my copy for a while and got out of the groove of reading it.  If it's good, I'll go see it... and then I need to read the Pullman books before the Golden Compass movie comes out, and the Susan Cooper/Dark Is Rising sequence...  It'll never end. I suppose this is good, that the genre is getting some attention. |

Or the pessimism. Seriously, though, I think the attention works like this get are just entrenching the genre. Fine with me. Better mainstream and classic than counterculture and trivialized. But back to Stardust... I ought to finish the book and just go see the movie. (Actually, I should have gotten it in graphic novel format instead. Silly me, I regret getting just the straight prose version now.) Having my images of the book destroyed by someone else's in movie format used to really bug me, but I guess I've gotten over that a bit. And as I said earlier, I think Gaiman adapts very well. He drives me nuts, though ~ I love his stuff one sentence, and then the next will make me so mad.  |

I have seen this movie a couple of months ago with a friend and we both didn't really like it in all honesty.
It had great actors (Pfeiffer and De Niro acted so amazingly well) and had a great concept to base the movie off. Too bad it wasn't worked out that well and had many "o__0" moments and loose ends.
