Stardust
It may be a
misconception on my part, but I believe this movie is a lesser known film. However,
it is one worth seeing for anyone who enjoys fairy-tales, fantasy, adventure and
corny humor.

What are some of the ways it has left
a mark on culture?
From what I can tell, this movie hasn’t received much media attention. However,
more and more as time goes by and I mention it to friends, the ones who have
seen it seem to love it. So, who knows? Perhaps it stands to gain more
popularity in years to come.

My Review:
This movie
has a bit of an awkward feel to it, as it seems to be less cohesively put
together than some fantasy stories like Lord of the Rings. By that I mean, it
feels a little “all of the map” at times. But in the same right, this gives it
a unique feel and certainly there is a lot to be said for the unexpected
fantasy surprises. I give it 4.5 Stars!
