"My ashen black soul and heart hewn from pure obsidian has no room for that bollocks."
God bless you.
just one more video before bed
JUST ONE
That's what i said 4 videos ago
Me: *looks out the window* Wait is that the sun?
6:50 this sounds alot like the Ottoman Empire's succession system. Usually the eldest or the chosen heir would immediately kill the other people in the line of succession (usually the younger brothers) or if they were exceptionally merciful they may just have them exiled or otherwise disowned so that they can't try to usurp the throne. I remember quite a few stories of new kings having the Janissarys throw his younger brothers into the sea with their hands and feet tied, or having them strangled. One of the greatest Sultans of all time, Suleiman the Magnificent, had one of his sons beaten to death so that his favorite son wouldn't be killed once Suleiman died.
"Stardust" is what got me into Neil Gaiman. Before the movie came out, I looked it up and learned that it was based off the book. I ended up picking up the book, because the movie looked good. I loved the book, and continued reading his other books. The movie was alright. I have a little crush on Claire Danes so I liked her in her part.
I'm another one of those people who really likes this movie - I feel like it's very much tapping into the same vein as The Princess Bride. And while I can't really disagree or counter any points you make, it does demonstrate how enjoying a work can allow you to ignore it's flaws.

Except for one thing witches are bitches, it is clear from this that they are naturaly mean.
True - I could say THIS for a lot of things I watch (anime, cartoons, movies, etc.), as long as they don't piss me off too much, of course... No work is perfect, no matter what anyone tells you.
Glad to have you back and doing well, BTW, Deusdaecon. You picked a good one to critique this time.
Yeah, most of the criticism is fair, but whatever I still love this movie. My only issue is the witch flip flipping at the end. I actually would've loved it had she truly given up fighting for immortality with her sisters now dead, linking back to what Tristan said earlier about immortality being awful with all your loved ones gone. They certainly missed a great oppurtunity there to change things up from the usual. It certainly would've given the character a little bit more of heart as well, more than we generally see in villains.
I'm so glad you said this! I've always thought this was like The Princess Bride but with more epic music
The thing is this is often the case as if a film was perfect with no flaws it'd be taught in film school and hailed as the greatest film ever made.
Flaws don't mean a film is bad, having way more flaws than positives makes a film bad.
Heh, Cavill has the mustache that they're going to have to CG out for Justice League.
My exact same thought hehe
i still can't beleive that mustache. it looked kind of dumb CGI'ed out, looked just as bad on his face. Only in Hollywood would anyone pay $3,000,000 instead shaving off a mustache. Maybe for the next Thor movie they can spend $10,000,000 and give Thor a CGI beard.
Inkheart and the brother’s grimm come to mind for fairy tale movies people don’t talk about.
Inkheart starring Brendan fraiser
And Brother’s Grimm starring heath ledger
Um, excuse me - but where the FUCK are the other 200,000 subscribers you should have???
finally back at it you and decke shado are the best horror reviewers on here
It is possible that her lower body aged like hell after the tavern
Exactly! The only parts of her skin we see are her lower arms, upper chest, and head. That's still easily 75% of her body that we can't see age. That's what I always assumed was happening with the other spells she casted.
Are we going to ignore him looking like sonic the hedgehog with that hair
watching this video for the 2nd time, with the Claire Danes having a problem with misunderstandings caused me to laugh out loud and need to pick up a tissue to clean my phone screen and nose :D
Michelle Pfeiffer as the villainess was excellent since she was once Catwoman, Mark Strong in this was interesting & campy Robert De Niro is hilarious
My grandparents owns movie and I actually love this movie a lot
another great review thank god I have you on twitter and tumblr so I saw it instantly keep it up mate
Yooo with the known myths around unicorns, what if it was stealing her for his own gain.
I admire your dedication to your patrons, going so far out of your usual genres and comfort zone to cover patron requests. Much respect .
I liked this movie, but the only issue I take with it is the casting of Claire Danes. You know how the Nostalgia Critic said that Julia Roberts seemed to American Sweetheartish for the role of Tinkerbell in his review of Hook? Well, that's how I feel about Claire Danes in this movie. Her performance is solid enough, but apart from her accent being kind of atrocious she sticks out like a sore thumb among a cast of mostly British names in drama and comedy. It comes across as *way* too obvious that her casting was only meant to put young American bums in seats. Personally, I would have gone for someone a little less conventional like Sienna Guillory or Natalie Dormer.
Peter O'Toole's drunk face 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I liked this film more than you did, but you really do a good job pointing out the flaws.
You are one of my favorite "older movie" review channels (alound with GoodBadFlicks and Foundflix) - one of the channels I enjoy watching for insight on older movies (and suggestions for older movies I haven't seen yet) rather than to decide what movies to see in the theaters right now. How do you have only 4400 subs?! That flabbergasts me. . You deserve a lot more, considering your interesting choice of review topics, and quality reviews. (Or am I somehow misreading what 4.4K means?)
You read 4.4k correctly, and thanks for watching and the kind words I really appreciate it.
I think that one witch turned him into a rodent because she thought he might’ve stolen it from her and wanted to punish him for it
Yet another well executed review. Thanking you verily much. Now my wife and her mates are watching your reviews and they love them (God help me now). She asks, would you dare to review 'Hawk The Slayer', now that would be interesting. Top Stuff Man :)
Another excellent review! I thought the same thing about DeNiro's character, and you were very fair and funny all round! Thanks for the great content! Do you think you'll ever review Cell?
You should review Frankensteins army it's a great horror movie
I recall hearing somewhere that Neil Gaiman was very hands on when the movie's creative team were first adapting the movie, wanting it to be fateful to his creation and to ensure they do it justice, as he does with most of his other works. However, after spending months on recording the audiobook for Stardust, he realized how long and daunting it would be to adapt Stardust into a 2-hour movie, so he decided to give his blessing to adapt it in whatever way they felt was best.
:O was wonderin when you would post another video.
It's not cannon as it's a deleted scene but one alternate ending does in fact show Tristin and Yeveine changed the rule of killing siblings cuz all of their children and grandchildren even were still alive to see them off to returning to the skies.
It's also said in the film that only make heirs can inherit which is why Una was still alive but honestly it doesnt matter as its mentioned once and since Una was the only "princess" it wasnt a big stake than her servitude to the witch.
Another great reveiw
I remember liking this one when I saw it, a decade ago. I saw it with my brother and my sister-in-law, both big Gaiman fans, who liked it well enough.
I really did enjoy this movie, but I respect that you were polite and made good points about it. I had a huge laugh out of your comment, re: Marvel vs. DC.
Nice review. When I watched this back in the day I thought that it would be better if they wrote out the main male character.
I really liked this movie and your review brought up some excellent points. I'll just have to live the rest of my life enjoying both!
My father loved this movie.🌟
i would really like to hear your opinion on Evil Dead II
Love the Black Adder bits. That series is classic.
On point with the review
As I backed the part where the brothers turned into spirit orbs. Septimus turns red and falls.
I perfectly understand doing a break from Puppet Master. It'll be hard to get through all the films, I'm sure. So, after you review Prince of Darkness, will we see Resident Evil: The Final Chapter anytime soon?
I know you only take requests from your Patreons, but have you ever considered reviewing Cloverfield or 10 Cloverfield Lane?
It certainly something that I will get to eventually.
Deusdaecon Reviews Awesome
Deusdaecon, any more upcoming Puppetmaster reviews? I really enjoyed your reviews on the first two movies. :)
One more patreon request this saturday, then its back to puppet master films
Deusdaecon Reviews Yay! Super cool! I look forward to it. And thank you for the reply. :)
Bro your hair looks dope as fuck in this video!
What if the emotional state of the caster at the time the spell is cast is the thing that causes the aging not the strength of the spell.
Or perhaps when a spell is cast it voids a fuck load of magic into the area which can be drawn upon later so future spells cast in the same place will cost less
we don't know the answer to those questions which was my point.
What the hell happened to the bottled lightning on the village side of the wall!?
I was today years old when I realised Henry Cavill is in this movie.
Wait a minute, his name in the book is Tristram? Is he the founder of any small towns? Does he know anyone named Farnham? Did he ever ram a jagged ruby colored gemstone into his forehead?
Good one, Sir.
Btw, can anyone tell me what this piece of music is 38:38? I've heard it somewhere and know it's pretty famous, but can't quite remember what it is...
its the can can music by offenbach
Thank you
Does daecon always read the book before reviewing the adaptation or is it just that he reads a lot of books
well in this case its not something I would’ve have read on my own anyway, but yes I try to read the book if its an adaptation.
Hey Deusdaecon, please do a review on *American Ultra*. Also, keep up the good work!
Unfortunately I can only accept review request through my Patreon page www.patreon.com/DeusdaeconReviews, Not obligatory, just throwing it out here
Thank for you support.
also omg this is THAT movie I watched this one a few years back and never saw the name thank you
Super late to the party, I know, but when she grabbed his hand and he flinched: was that the hand that was just burned in the fire when he lit the candle?
no i don't think it was its was his right hand he lit the candle with
Yes, I didn't pick that up at first but if you look at his hand it's burned (from the fire)
so. we never knew who closed the sonic screwdriver ??? Or is it meant that we should only understand that someone closed it between scenes. 😛
+deusdaecon good movie review is called "The Ritual" surprisingly good horror flick I watched on nexflix a while ago
wait one of the heirs has a really familiar face I just cant put my mind to what that actors name was secundus
Rupert Everett
4:05 I know it's possible, but it always bugs me how in movies whenever 2 important characters bone their almost always guaranteed a baby. There's of course a wide range of averages but the numbers I've see are roughly 80-130 times couples will have sex before they conceive a child, when they're intending to have a child. I've heard of numbers as low as 20 but those were carefully timed during ovulation. If I lived in movie land I'd wear 2 condoms because otherwise every one night stand would lead to me creating the child who'll lead a revolution against an evil king and that just sounds stressful.
Excellent I only ask because 3 is my favorite
My mom LOVES this movie!
Are they inspired by the Sanderson sisters and Hocus Pocus?
No, Theyre named after and inspired by three sister from greek mythology which I think predates Hocus Pocus by at least a few years,
I still think the soothsayer scene was pretty clever. Ask him a few easy questions to determine the pattern for true or false and presuming the runes are always correct...now you can reveal the soothsayer's treachery without their trying to hide behind an interpretation only the sayer can see.
The fact that the Take That song is more memorable than the movie kinda says something
Man I remeber really likeing this movie as a kid, but not till watching your review,remember what it was all about, also you like yugioh ? No way kool I play agents as my main
Wow I saw this movie was a kid and completely forgot it existed until I saw this video lmao
It took me like 10 years to notice that was dare devil.
well in all fairness he wasn't daredevil for the majority of those ten years anyway.
The red soul came from roughly the same place where septimus was so it should be him
I'm actually a little hesitant to watch this review because I adore this film lol. I watched it constantly with my mother when I was younger, so it holds a very special place in my heart.
**Fingers crossed you don't tear it apart**
Just remember its only my personal opinion, if you enjoy this film, thats perfectly fine, I fully acknowledge my personal bias toward this film.
Deusdaecon Reviews Nah, it's all good. 😊 Honestly, you were very objectively fair. A lot of what I love about this film is aesthetic: the locations are gorgeous, the sky pirate imagery, dead Septimus sword fighting (one of my favorite fight scenes), even little details like how each brother's outfit has his number etched in different spots. It's just a beautiful film imo.
I think something that helped me enjoy it as well was that I didn't view Tristan as a heroic protagonist who gets his way in the end. I saw him as a narrow-minded pushover who has a lot of growth over a short period of time. He doesn't become king as a reward; he learns to take responsibility beyond his own wants. Yvainne isn't a prize for him, they learn to love each equally and are both willing to sacrifice for the other. I normally hate romance in film, but I like them together for some reason.
But you made a lot of good points and noted a lot of plot holes I missed.
This is like my top 10 good/bad movies. 🥰
I also dislike love movies or romance yuck. So kudos to you for enduring it 😂
Wait...is that the Lesser Key of Solomon behind you?
yeah, check out my occult books video
It’s not my kind of money either but I love your review of it
This is one of those times I read the book before seeing the movie. I like Neil Gaiman as a writer, and this wasn't the worst adaptation I've ever seen but it was .... Well I liked it enough to not feel like I wanted money. But I'm too nice.
It's off seeing pre-Superman here I had no idea that he was in this. Was it just the moustache, or was he actually acting? Maybe he is one of those subtle actors, but I've yet to see him act (yes, I mean Man From UNCLE, which I thought wasn't bad).
... Now that I think about it, the movie actually ruined the book for me because I suspended disbelief more for the book, and then when I was seeing the plot holes in the movies, I saw them in the book as well.
I should end on a good note, so ... Two. 1 I'm happy for Charlie Cox getting to be Daredevil and 2 I liked NG's contribution to Doctor Who.
I liked this movie better then the book for the most part and that is not the case with me cause I always like the book more then when they make it in to a movie but not this time only because I like the ending of the movie where when they die or decide to move on they go together but in the book he dies and she stays alive forever by herself to rule the kingdom witch I always found really sad
Fun fact, the system of fratricide as a means to take the throne was used by the Ottoman Empire.
I recognize fuckall of this movie. Other than what we already talked about
Try in a week or so
There was a book where it showed Tristan years later as an old man while holding her dying husband Evain remained young.
I remember seeing this movie several years back. What flaws it has aside I thought it was a pretty interesting film if only for being a light parody of the absurdity and over-simplicity that fairytales often embody.
Regarding how Tristran knew, where to find witches, in the book, he could tell anyone who asked where anything in magical world is, that was his "superpower" due to him being part magical being. Of course, no one asked him that, but at least he had that ability...
Edit: Wait Tristran in movie became immortal? Well that kinda fucks up whole ending of the book...
When I watched the movie, I just kinda assumed that Tris saw the tracks of Lamia's carriage and followed her back to the witches' home the good old fashioned way... That's what I would've done at least...
Eeeh, kinda. The movie ends with Tris and Yvaine using a Babylon candle to go up into the sky where they become two stars, side by side. Basically a very "and they lived happily ever after" ending. I didn't mind it.
LOL "what the fuck was the point"
I think the murder thing was less the kinds of actions they did, and more what their souls where. Odds are the brothers murdered just for the crown and wouldn't do so after that. Septimus however...
SuperSwordman1 yeah, he was killed by a witch instead of one of his brothers.
niel gaimen, sorry for the misspelling, however, did he write the book "American Gods" ? if so, then i love his work, especially, since the book turned into a phenomenal starz tv show.
yes thats the same guy.
cool, anyway,i feel that even though we may disagree on some issues, i still love your reviews. i wonder, how are you in reviewing movies outside of horror and action? maybe some comedy, or if we can crossover genres then maybe some MCEU or DCU, maybe throw in some Stathem movies and some Die Hard for flavor. for further horror, there is still the nightmare franchise with micheal myers and jason vorhees. if you are so inclined. love your work BTW. i was wondering, whereabouts in england are you from? sounds a little like a yorkish accent. i may be wrong.
Im actually welsh born and bred, I just don't have a strong accent, but all those films if they are sequels and franchises will defiantly be covered at some point.
thanks for your time with this. i know that you are a busy man. much appreciated. i loved how you commented on the final fight scene with the two "love rivals" that it was an answer to the rivalry between marvel and dc. with that comment and the imagery, i was laughing hysterically. i needed that laugh. thank you.. ,
27:49 same dude.
That succession system, as it is, actually looks a lot like how the Ottoman empire handled it. And yeah, outside a few extremely lucky rolls of the dice it was a huge mess.
I reallly wanted to watch this movie for years. Couldn't remember what it was called, just remembered some of the promo posters etc. finally found out what it was. Some years later was able to watch it and.... i turned it off when he enslaved the lady. fuck that.
What happened Daecon?
Why don't you let us watch scenes with audio anymore?
TH-cam happened my friend, can't risk getting copyright striked and beside if its important to what I'm saying i still use clips with audio sparingly.
It doesn't really matter, I still hold you in higher regard than Decker Shado, and don't get me started on that hack, Cinema Snob.
I really appreciate that I hope I can maintain that then.
One could argue that it being a magic world regular science doesn't apply and therefore metal can sharpen obsidian.
I personally hated the film - especially how they changed the ending from the way it was in the book. Because the voice over does mention children - which in the book they can't have because SHE'S A STAR - and Tristan eventually grows old and dies and she lives on, ever youthful and ever alone. So truthfully a kind of depressing ending that I prefer to the happy sappy one in the movie.
I also didn't like what they did with Victoria. It made the whole thing so petty and cliche. The whole point was that Tristan grew up and realized that you shouldn't go around chasing people who aren't into you by making extravagant gestures, and instead gets with someone he has a much more personal history with. Making it some sort of petty "well, she was a bitch for not liking you" plot sorta killed it.
Yeah, I hated that they made Victoria the standard "she's a bitch because she doesn't like the main character back, and anyone else she likes is a jerk" cliche. The book was far better about how it was a dumb idea and Victoria wasn't wrong for not liking the main character.
What happened to puppet master 3
it's on the way, the way it'll work because there are so many puppet master films, is ill do two or three puppet masters then break it up with other things, otherwise it would just get very boring for everyone involved.
Is that an evangelion foot in the corner
Yeah its the revoltech eva 01 figure
The town of wall. Was Trump the mayor.😁
I saw this movie for the first time in college when I was 18, and I actually loved it.
Could you review the war of the worlds please either the musical or the 2005 movie
It should be clear by this video that movie review requests are handled through patreon.www.patreon.com/DeusdaeconReviews
I really enjoyed the book, didn't care one bit for the movie - especially for that vomit enducing ending (especially with the father showing up ugh). I mean the book ending was so much cooler. Not saying the book was perfect but it engaged me so much more than the movie that is full of actors I normally really enjoy.
Review iron man pls?
I use Patreon now for movie review request sorry about that, www.patreon.com/DeusdaeconReviews not mandatory just throwing it out here.
I enjoyed Captain Shakespeare the most and I agree, the romance plot was dire! Needs more Sky Pirates.
this movie would be perfect if they just cut all the poorly written romance BS and replaced it with more Sky Pirates, or possibly combined the two and had Captain Whats-his-face fall in love with the entire Sky Pirate crew.
Haroof!!
FERRETS 😁😁😁😁😁
I like this movie, but I'm not afraid to admit that it feels very incomplete.
I remember loving this movie when I was younger, I now realise how bad it actually is 😂
that is less a "review", more a "summary", no ?
It’s neither it’s a post mortem analysis examining the film in chronological order, you summarise scene by scene to get the audience perspective and then you analyse from the retrospective as well, REVIEW just fits on the channel header better don’t you think ?
Deusdaecon Reviews agree to disagree ;o)
BUT ... A+ for the work you put into this AND the quick reply :o)
I consider this movie flawed but enjoyable
I hated it.
Though, a lot of my hate comes from the fact that it's Gaiman. Once you realize most people go apeshit over him for his flowery language and general fuckery rather than telling a story..... Well... It makes his works less interesting. (neverwhere, though, is still decent... not great, but decent).
You have tastes so dark and terrible and nonredeemable that there will never be any happiness or joy in your movie watching life.
This movie was phenomenal, it had one of the greatest scores of all time, absolute candy to the fucking ears like hearing literal angels sing, but filtered into that corrupted skull all that got through were banshee like wails.
Every day I exist on this earth I am ever grateful I am not so afflicted as you.
I am a bit surprised. This is the first video of yours I really don't like. Everyone I know loved this movie, and I personally thought it was WAY better than the bland book. I love Gaiman usually, but this movie surpassed the book BY FAR.
THIS is the kind of movie I can “turn my brain off and enjoy”. Fast & Furious movies and Transformers sequels are TOO stupid.
