Stardust Trailer
Surprisingly enough, I have never read any of Neil Gaiman’s books. And I’m not completely sure I have ever read a comic he wrote.
This is surprising because he seems like that kind of author who I would love, and because I have known about him and about his reputation since I was about ten years old. And yet, I never got around to reading hist stuff. So I guess watching Stardust will likely be my first exposure to Gaiman’s work.
The trailer makes the film look interesting. Nice visuals, a creative fantasy storyline, combining classic elements with a couple of new twists, and, hopefully, more sense of humor than most films in the genre. And yet, I’m not completely sold on it.
This kind of material could make for a Pirates style fun fantasy adventure. But a couple of scenes in the trailer make me think the humor might not work completely and that the story of the film just might be to focused too much on the classic fight the bad witch and not enough in the aforementioned twists. Also, the leading man, Charlie Cox, looks utterly uncharismatic. Perhaps I’ll warm up to him, but he is definitely no Johnny Depp.
We’ll see if my worries have any foundation in the actual film in August, when the it opens.

The film starts off pretty rushed. In fact, the film is rushed altogether. You feel as if the filmmakers wanted to get through with the film. The laziness is so apparent in here that you’re wondering how much the executives offered in their salary. The film is so lazy that there are even glaring plot holes in the hackneyed script! How the hell does a film that is based on something ridiculous have plot holes? The film—better yet, the franchise, spends most of its time in setting up rules on the order people are going to die yet this film ignores practically everything and kills people in any order it feels like!
