Stardust is a 2007 Fantasy Adventure movie starring Claire Danes,Charlie Cox,Sienna Miller, Robert De Niro and Michelle Pieffer and tells the story of a young man named Tristan(Charlie Cox) who's in love with a woman called Victoria(Sienna Miller) who already has another suitor called Humprey(played by an unreconisable Henry Cavil). In order to win Victoria's heart,Tristian goes on a quest to retrieve the fallen star as Victoria spotted it while Tristian and her were on a date.

But when Tristian does go and find the star,it takes on a human form into a beautiful woman called Yvainne(Claire Danes) and at first the two don't get along but romance blossoms between them. When an evil witch(Michelle Pieffer)is looking for Yvainne,it's up to Tristian to protect her from the witch who wants her for eternal youth?

Overall I really enjoyed this film as I used to have it on DVD and I bought it again as I hadn't seen it in over 10 years and had it forgotten. The movie is very dark and the story is dark too yet I thought the acting was good and the chemistry between Charlie Cox and Claire Danes was believable.

Also stars Shazam star Mark Strong as one of the heirs of Stormhold and narration from X-Men star Ian McKellan.
