Review: The Sorcerer's Apprentice

The Sorcerer's Apprentice is a very, very Disney movie. By relating it to "Disney", you should know what to expect.

If you're expecting some nasty and crazy magic actions, no you won't get that at all. It's definitely more to entertaining the younger audience, especially the kids.

A little about the movie. Balthazar Blake (Nicolas Cage) is a master sorcerer in modern-day trying to defend the city from his nemesis, Maxim Horvath (Alfred Molina). Balthazar can't do it alone, so he recruits Dave Stutler (Jay Baruchel), an average guy who demonstrates hidden magic potential, as his reluctant protégé.

The sorcerer gives his unwilling accomplice a crash course in the art and science of magic, and together, they work to stop the forces of darkness. It'll take all the courage Dave can muster to survive his training, save the city and get the girl as he becomes The Sorcerer's Apprentice.

Overall the movie is plain boring and uninteresting. The storyline was pretty quick. Balthazar meets Dave, gets him to learn magic, a little magic fights and he finally saves the day!

More entertainment for the kids but never for the adults, unless they love kiddo shows as well.

Personally, I expected more actions. But what more can you expect from a Disney movie?

Noobie Rating: 4/10 (Don't watch if you're expecting awesome magic actions)
