this remarkable film can be sum up very easily . first of all and while the comparison to princess bride be inevitable and it almost futile to do so . while both film combine adult wit and humor with a fairy tale backdrop and stardust be so much different than any other fantasy or sci fi film i have ever see . it such a hybrid of those genre and but it plot and script be so unique that along with the performance and special effect and cinematography and and score the finished product be simply not all that comparable to anything that have ever appear on the silver screen . secondly and the score be very effective at simultaneously pull u into the story and the fantasy world in which it take place and push the story along and while create just the right amount of awe and excitement necessary to make the magic believable within the realm where the character exist . thirdly and i do not find the film to be even remotely difficult to follow or confuse in any way . in fact and the interesting interplay between the three main subplots actually make it even that much more compelling to watch . wonderfully cast and and superbly act across the board . this fantasy adventure ( with sci fi element ) be the best one i have see since return of the king ( not that i be compare the two at all ) . ok and so it not that easy to sum up and but do not let any crude and or or heartless and cynical review nor the film pathetic pr prevent you from partake in the best time you could have at the movie this summer ( or even possibly in a long time ) .
