I would have to say that this is the most interesting and creatice movie I have ever seen. I really, really enjoyed it. I thought it was going to be a dumb romance, but it wasn't. There is really not all that much romance, and what there is is made up for by the great plot. I laughed histerically at Robert DeNiro, and Michelle Pfieffer was great, she did a wonderful job. The killing of animals to tell the future was a bit gross, and the violence was actually quite scary at times, so it's a definite 12 and up movie. This is an extremely enjoyable movie, and great to watch with your kids.

This was a wonderful movie, but it's really a grown ups fairy tale. I put it in league with the Labyrinth or Legend. It is beautiful, intellegent, creative, and magical. There is some violence. The killing of animals to see the future for instance is a bit gross, you don't see it, but you know it's happening. Overall it's great, but more for the older child and adults.

Yes, there's a bit of magic and playful--note that, playful--violence, but overall a very good movie for children 9 and up. It teaches good morals about how to handle the world and what should be important.

My entire family enjoyed this movie. We saw it when our kids were 8 and 12 years old; we needed to help the 8 year old unravel some of the plot, but she wasn't scared by the violence (which was not very realistic, anyway). Robert deNiro's character opened up a discussion about the image we project to the world vs. who we really are and he was so fun to watch! My younger daughter still considers this 1 of her favorite movies (me, too). We like that they get into deep issues (love, loyalty, not judging people by their appearance) and the humor is intelligent.

Characters are killed throughout, but in a tongue-in-cheek way. Generally they remain in the story as wounded ghosts, representative of their means of death (e.g. flattened side of face from a fall to death) which is actually funny, and in one aspect assuring to children that they really aren't dead, this was just for fun. the film has lots of talent and very high production values, very enjoyable for the whole family, which is hard to find these days. No more disturbing than any other fairy tale, my 8 year old enjoyed it, highly recommended.

This movie was so much better than I thought it would be! From the cheesy trailer and lame title (Stardust? That name doesn't even fit the movie at all), I thought this would be a big flop - but to my surprise I ended up loving it. It was alot darker and funnier than what I expected, and takes many surprising and creative turns to keep you highly entertained. The ending's a bit on the hokey side, but besides that, I loved this flick - definitely recommended.

I LOVED this movie! My mother, who is 60, and rarely impressed by any movie, saw it twice in two days. I was very surprised by the violence and was glad that my sister, mother, and I screened it before inviting the kids. This is one that I may rent for my older children, but not for the big screen. The murders are presented in a humorous way, but murder is not funny in real life, and kids need to be old enough to understand that. The throat slitting scene was played down a bit with the blood being blue. Not seeing red blood kept it from being gorey, and reminded us that this is only fantasy. There is some cross dressing that was hilarous, but I know would have sparked lots of questions from my nephew, which we should be prepared to discuss. The adventure was fun and the lead characters wonderful and honest.

This movie was appreciated for coming out in a different genre. Kind of a "Princess Bride" type movie. There was more killing than I appreciated seeing, but all in all a good movie with some good points made.

A good movie.
