Stardust スターダスト


It is a fairy tale written by an author famed in comic bookdom. Acting is good. It's always hard to say more than that for fantasy films but I believe there were significant superbly acted roles. Michelle Pfeiffer(ミシェル・ファイファー)plays a villain, and she does the job. Nothing special though she was very beautiful and an eye candy. Rupert Everett(ルパート・エヴェレット)is a great villain. Peter O'Toole(ピーター・オトゥール)is marvelous. Ricky Gervais(リッキー・ジャーヴェイス)is perfect. Robert De Niro(ロバート・デ・ニーロ)seemed to be having too much fun for the most part. And Charlie Cox(チャーリー・コックス)as the lead character was a fine surprise. I've always been of mixed opinion with Claire Danes(クレア・デインズ). She can be great, and then she can seem to miss the mark. In this film, she's the former. And she is literally the star of this film. The writing is fantastical and real though it's hard in today's climate to do anything original. At first, you begin to wonder. A kingdom, a dying King, a boy out to prove his own worth, witches, ghosts, a quest. It's nothing new, but in the end, you'll find this story is what all fairy tales should be but all too often are not.
