A sun king that shouldn't ever had seen the sunlight.

According to Trivia section, The king's daughter were filmed back into 2014 and should had stayed there.

As a medieval fantasy fan, I have to say that this movie is bland, the tale is foolish and it's rather funny watching a bunch of french characters talking with brittish accent.

Art design is a trip on real hairstyle and several outfits of the era depicted. Dialogue is dumb and sounds pretty ridiculous and the same can be said of the acting. Soundtrack has a take on modern vibe but not into a positive way. Mermaid FX is so terrible I thought it was a wax doll, lol. Makes me think that it was made targeting an specific audience, which I would guess being female teens.

That said, it's not the movie sucks (it does), but a more mature audience wouldn't stand watching it, like I didn't. It really hurts me watching an actor of such caliber as William Hurt in a dumb production like this one.

Want to watch a nice silly medieval fantasy tale? Then watch Stardust. Oh you've watched it already? Watch it again, you'll be making yourself a favor.
