My Review and Rating:

OMG! I love this movie so much and I'm so glad I watched it after I finished the book.So many wonderful moments that made me laugh,cry,tears of joy T_T I appreciated it more because I've read the book mayhaps.

One of my favorite characters in this film is Captain Shakespeare,Robert De Niro did a phenomenal job he made me laugh so hard!

and  he's so nice,very nurturing in a fatherly way.

I also love Ian McKellen's voice over as the narrator.The Guard at the wall was so kick ass even though he's  old I thought he would be out smarted the second time around  he did such a great job that scene was so cool! The wicked witches sisters they're quite scary but they definitely got me going with the story as well as the stormborn brothers their legacy and quest they're brilliant!Yvaine and Tristan they're so perfect actually their character grew in to me over time along with the story.Although there's quite a bit of variations from the book I think it's still so awesome! especially about the babylon candle wh:OA! and the ending :D

Overall I gave it all the stars in the world! heck the entire universe! XD

About the book: (from Goodreads)
Young Tristran Thorn will do anything to win the cold heart of beautiful Victoria—even fetch her the star they watch fall from the night sky. But to do so, he must enter the unexplored lands on the other side of the ancient wall that gives their tiny village its name. But beyond that old stone wall, Tristran learns, lies Faerie—where nothing, not even a fallen star, is what he imagined.(more)




My Review: 4 out of 5 stars

(Tristran & Little Hairy Man talking about Victoria and his quest to find the falling star so this would the little man would do)"I'd tell her to go shove her face in the pig pen and go out and find another one or kiss you without asking for the earth" ~Little Hairy Man

"Love I hope you choke on it!" -Star

I love it when Neil Gaiman read his own work!with a bonus interview content wow!

Tristran's so nice and lucky!the story's quite confusing at first for there's a lot of characters and different storylines anyway,it all merged perfectly well I like the concept,lots of funny,unexpected and magical moments plus such a fine ending.


Sidenote: it's quite funny how I rated it as 4 out of 5 considering a star had fallen (no pun intended) but such rating was because I really liked it.And I'll try to check out the movie asap once I found a copy.^^,
