Critics Sentiment
Robert De Niro's pirate captain reveals his feminine side
Tristan leaves sleeping Yvaine to return to Victoria
The film peaks with Robert De Niro's beloved cross-dressing pirate captain performance, then dips during Tristan's temporary abandonment of Yvaine before recovering for the climactic battle.
Stardust maintains consistently positive sentiment throughout, with reviewers praising the charming fairy tale atmosphere, strong performances (especially De Niro and Pfeiffer), and effective blend of romance, comedy, and adventure. The film peaks during the memorable pirate ship sequences and climactic battles, though some critics felt the ending was slightly overextended and certain middle sections rushed due to multiple storylines.
