Stardust

[Klaus]

I liked them both, and I definitely recommend reading the book. The ending is a lot more melancholy, though. There's also a much greater sense of the huge, varied faerie world around them.

Klaus, you shouldn't say X>Y if you haven't even seen Y

But judging from the replies here, seems I was right on the money!

Mind you, I TRIED to watch Stardust, but it breezed past theatres here before I got the chance to watch it.

I haven't read the comics/graphic novel, nor have I seen the movie.

The book is enjoyable enough fair, but very far from Gaiman's best work. It makes a cute little fairy tale, with little to add beyond that.

Well, it *is* meant to be a cute little fairy tale, and Charles Vess' artwork only reinforces that fact.

There isn't a graphic novel version per se; there's a print story with myriad illustrations by Charles Vess. I much preferred this to the movie. It wasn't that the movie was bad, it's just that I had certain crystal-clear images of certain characters and places that the movie wasn't able to capture.

It was still fun, though, and worth watching.
