The Sorcerer’s Apprentice

Review:     3 Stars     Rated:  PG

There’s magic in the air when Sorcerer’s due battle. It’s up to one unassuming guy to keep the world from falling into darkness and Dave (The Sorcerer’s Apprentice) definitely has his work cut out for him.

Plot: The Sorcerer’s Apprentice is a 2010 fantasy adventure film produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, directed by Jon Turteltaub, and distributed byWalt Disney Pictures, the team behind the National Treasure franchise.  Balthazar Blake (Nicolas Cage) is a sorcerer in modern-day Manhattan fighting against the forces of evil, in particular his arch-nemesis, Maxim Horvath (Alfred Molina), while searching for the person who will inherit Merlin’s powers. This turns out to be Dave Stutler (Jay Baruchel), a physics student at New York University, whom Balthazar takes as a reluctant protégé.  -more here

Did It Suck? When I saw the trailers for The Sorcerer’s Apprentice I didn’t think much of it,  I also had very low expectations for the film.  The movie had different story lines that didn’t blend all that well and there was not one part of the movies story lines that took precedence over another.  This basically left the movie with very little depth or character development.  I still enjoyed watching the movie even with all its shortcomings, and overall it wasn’t too bad of film, however it wasn’t that great either.  It’s a good kids film to say the least; I’m guessing between the ages of 10 -15 will like the film, but in my opinion I can only give it the Wait For The DVD verdict.
