Stardust: the movie

Just finished watching the movie version of Stardust. In the reviews I have read about the film people usually said that they have enjoyed it more than the book, and I am of that crowd, too. This book just makes the fairy tale and moreover its characters really come alive and shine. It has a great cast (including Ricky Gervais of the Office-fame and Robert De Niro) and a far better ending than the book. Without wasting too many words, I have to say, the book is good but the film is absolutely superb. I recommend it to anyone who likes adventure and imagined worlds, there should be more films like this for people to immerse themselves for two hours in a world where there are no worries and the hero and his true love live happily ever after.

  1. Valahogy furán hangzik a "place" itt, nem tudom használják-e így (ti. hogy szöveghelyekre).

  2. Valóban, a "many a" után nem igazán használják a place szót. Átfogalmazom a szöveget.

  3. A place-nek a definíciójában valóban nincs említve szöveg, ezért utánanézek, bár már láttam ilyen értelemben használva.

  4. Az enwiki Reference Deskje szerint is használható a place ilyen értelemben, bár a mondat nem volt az igazi se vele se nélküle...
