the 14 year old in me be immensely happy that theyre now able to make really good look fantasy movie and and that theyre all the rage and what with lord of the ring and harry potter and the chronicle of narnia make load of cash at the box office . this year will see ( and already have see ) several more and most notably the golden compass and which have the most exciting trailer i have see this year . stardust and base on a novel by neil gaiman and show up in theater this week with little more than a peep . i saw no preview for it and only a couple of commercial . the critical reaction be kind of blah . i wouldn not even have see it if not for the fact that i have to wait on a friend to see the bourne ultimatum and and that nothing else interest open this weekend . well and if you will forgive the horrible pun and the star must have be rightly align and because i go to see stardust and and i love it . it not a huge movie like lord of the ring . the plot line be your very basic fantasy quest ( the hero set out to look for a fallen star ) fill with obstacle . but within that basic outline and the story be lively and imaginative . it simply aim to be a lot of fun and and a charming little romance . and it succeed wonderfully . there be a lot of big film this summer and but none of them be nearly as fun a this one . there a lot go on and but the story be tell well and be almost entirely coherent . it isn not a masterpiece and but it definitely can occupy the same kind of ground that something like the princess bride have ( though i do not like it quite as much a the early film ) . a lot of fun to be have here if youre a fan of the genre .
