What the Critics say | ||
Cape Argus / The Star Theresa Smith Ultimately, the book is better, but the film's not bad at all. | 10 | |
Die Burger Willem de Vries Dit is sterk en eerlik, sonder om soetsappig te wees. | 10 | |
iAfrica.com Nils van der Linden It's overlong, encumbered with some dodgy effects, and completely lacking dragons — and yet, against all common sense, Stardust is quite simply magical. | 15 | |
Mail & Guardian Shaun de Waal | 14 | |
The Citizen Peter Feldman There are dark moments which may trouble younger viewers, but the essence of Stardust is that it's an entertaining fantasy romance. | 16 | |
Sunday Times Barry Ronge In a genre characterised by the conventions of magic, witches and fantasy villains, Stardust manages to come up with bright ideas. | 15 | |
Chicago Sunday Times Roger Ebert The movie is not boring, just cluttered and not focused enough. | 13 | |
ReelViews James Berardinelli Fresh and welcome entertainment. | 15 | |
ScreenIt I can say, however, that if anything, the film is certainly ambitious, and stuffs a great deal of material and characters into its slightly more than two hour running time. Some work better than others, and while most everything feels epic, magical, and/or fantastical, it doesn't all jell into a completely satisfying or believable whole. | 11 | |
