What's the deal with Stardust?

I thought I would make my first reel post a movie review. Get it? Reel? Yeah, I'm sorry. When this movie came out in 2007 I was really exicted for it. I'm a sucker for fantasy movies. Look at the poster. It looks as though it was from the golden age of fantasy movies (the 80's). It has a great cast featuring Claire Danes, Robert De Niro, and Michelle Pfeiffer. Typical to fantasy movies and books, it centers on an ordinary person going on an extrodinary adventure. Sounds awesome, right? Then why does it suck? I saw the movie and I still don't fully understand why it is so lame. I admit that there could have been more action but that cannot fault the entire film. The best conclusion I can come to is that it was made at the wrong time. Had this movie come out during the magical period known as the 80s it would likely be remembered today as a classic. Many things taken out of the 80s lose their magic. It is because of this that some great things cannot be great out of the 80s. Another example is Glam rock/metal. If this bands came out today, we would just assume they were gay.
