Some characters literally reform in a single scene without showing any signs of remorse previously. Character development is also extremely rushed. Stardust is made even worse by a series of contradictions, plot holes, and obvious mistakes that should have been caught. Stardust tries to follow multiple stories at once, and the sequence of events and the poor editing makes it all feel lazy and slapped together, not to mention extremely in-cohesive. Stardust (in addition to having very little to do with it's name) is endlessly trippy (in the worst way), often dull, and uneven in tone. How so many critics have been won over by this is beyond me. There's more to the story than that, but the whole thing is so hopelessly tedious, and so unnecessarily complex, it's not worth it to explain the whole thing. He does not know, however, that there are other forces that want the star very badly, and will kill to get it. The main character, Tristan, finds Yvaine, and wants to bring Yvaine home to his girlfriend to win her hand in marriage. It turns out, the star is actually a person named Yvaine. Stardust is about a shooting star that has landed on (presumably) earth. It will give one a much better appreciation for better films, and even mediocre films. I say this because it's one of the few good things about Stardust. This gives balance to your opinion, gives you an idea of what truly bad cinema looks like, and provides some wonderful unintentional laughs. It is important, if one enjoys the art of film, to occasionally see an awful movie.
