I only watched this movie because the trailer looked new and the idea was an interesting one. I liked the movie but throughout the first half, you get the feeling that there is something big coming up and you just can't wait till it does. The ending was quite satisfactory considering what happens.
The actors were all well chosen for the roles they portray. The bad guys led by the evil Capricorn fulfill their role as a motley crew. There is a hidden humor amongst them which does not bore. The CGI animations were very well done especially the magical creatures and alike.
Overall, I would say that if you like Stardust, you will enjoy this one. Although, Stardust is still better in my opinion.
I give it 6 only because the first half drags on a bit long and takes sometime to move onto the real story.
