Stardust ... the best D&D movie EVAR...(spoilers)

[Archetype]

Heh, just got back from seeing Stardust.

Besides being a really good romance/date movie, it contains so many "D&Disms," which are handled so much better than in any other fantasy movie *intending* to be a D&D movie, that I highly recommend it for the DDO crowd.

*Commoner levels up, takes Swashbuckler Prestige Class.
*a *proper* mythological Unicorn (hey, finally they can Break Enchantment).
*awesome Eberron-like Sky Galleon, with "lightning bolt collectors."
*Baleful Polymorph used often and to good effect.
*Witch's curse/geas employed by a caster who knows how to phrase a curse limitation.
*Pirates! (arrrr)
*a unique Undead swordfight, unlike any other.
*multiple Burning Hands spells used in battle (with "saves for half damage too" heh).
*Vodoo dolls, illusions, dual-dagger-weilding spellcasters, someone eaten by a pack of wolves (who have the Trip feat as well), cantrips employed as a daily tool, oh and everyone and his freakin' brother (literally) using a form of runic Divination to navigate across the world like a magic GPS link...

And, the best thing in the whole movie is Robert DeNiro, who plays:
A gay, closeted vicious Pirate Captain, afraid the world will find out his real love of fine cuisine, hairdressing and crossdressing...heh..awesome.

Now, be advised that this is primarily a Romance movie, in the classical sense. But it has a whopping amount of action, magic and wonder to feed the Geek Need, as your date soaks up the "True Love" storyline (or...visa versa as it may be).

Stardust will probably fly under the radar of all the overhyped, underwhelming Summer Blockbusters, but I found it to be the best movie of Summer 2007.
