The husband took me to watch Stardust the other day, the first time we watched a movie as Mister and Missus. 
Stardust is a chick flick that doesn’t bore the guys. The film is well paced and its special effects are not overambitious. A complicated plot with a simple storyline: witches (Michelle Pfeiffer as Larnia) going after the heart of a fallen star (Claire Danes as Yvaine) who gets rescued by sky pirates (Robert De Niro as Captain Shakespeare), princes (Rupert Everett as Secundus) fighting for the throne, and a man (Charlie Cox as Tristan) who finds his true love.
A “Titanic” moment?
Overall, a very strong cast. While Charlie Cox looks a tad young as Tristan to be matched with Claire Danes (I’ve never heard of him prior to Stardust but he looks promising enough to join the ranks of Elijah Wood), Michelle Pfeiffer still looks as hot without the leather, Robert De Niro is a classic and Rupert Everett ever charming.
Golden Compass on my next to-watch list (stars Nicole Kidman).
Oh by the way, the song at the credits is Rule The World by Take That.
