Stadust

A pretty standard come-of-age story and romantic comedy at it's core , the excellent execution of this one is in sharp contrast with that POS in the previous post..

Though the core of the plot is fairly standard, the movie manage to spring a number of nice little suprises and twists on us that didn't seem contrive..

That POS however is a formulic as the idea of the story , I telegraph most of the plot and the movie really would be better fo r it without the big stupid "twist"(not really that much of a suprise really) near the end..


Stardust brings into focus what that POS sorely lacks.. a sense of adventure and wonder..

Stardust showm us very nice vista and imagery and conveys a nice sense of place and adventure , characters went to the beach, forest , mountains , various vilages/cities etc and a few suprise locale ..heh heh

It's joke every time someone in that POS reminds us the the fate of the world rest in the seeker's hand. Hah hah! Hard to belive that's teh case when most of the action seems to takes place within the seekers' home small village/town . The time travel part has so much potential but is so meh except the viking raid (and even that is abit silly )


Both stories has fairy-tale,Big family reunion type endings which is something the orignal Novels dun have..
I like Stardust's, so heartwarming and unlike so many endings.. they didn't forget about anyone!, everyone is present at the end...

That POS's ending would also be quite nice ,but is not b'cos it's so illogical and stupid..
