~Stardust~
This movie was good enough for me to be watching it twice. Since it's been in cinemas for quite a long time, here's a full review, hope everyone has watched it already.
The word"stardust" was probably mentioned only once in the movie, if anyone noticed. However, it's significance was great.
A typical fantasy movie, two worlds, one like the one we live in, the other magical. A typical movie concept, eat the heart of a star and gain everlasting life. A typical complication, evil people try to capture the star. A typical climax, good and evil fights. A typical ending, good wins and they live happily ever after. They didn't even die of old age! But these "reactants", I shall say, were the perfect ingredients to the wonderful combination, or "combo" for a movie.
Now what's special? Firstly, there were many, many, exciting parts. Exciting means a point in the movie where it looks like it's the climax. There was the really cool murders you only see in CSI, the part where magical fire scorched the whole screen and we all thought the witch was gonna win, and of course, the fight between the two sides. This was put together very nicely with the peaceful parts, where the good guys start to like each other more, they learn new stuff, they have their own thoughtful conversations. Did I mention that Captain Shakespear reminded me of Brom, from Eragon? Anyway, I wasn't in perspiration and adrenaline throughout the whole movie. Even the quieter parts were interesting, bringing out clearly the moral of the story, which was that love does not require acts of devotion, or material gifts. Whether it is right or not, thats up to you guys to decide, I won't comment.
