Master sorcerer Balthazar Blake must find and train Merlin's descendant to defeat dark sorceress Morgana la Fée. The Sorcerer's Apprentice is a film that i never cared to see until now and honestly after finishing it it really wasn't that bad to begin with, first the good stuff Nicolas Cage and Jay Baruchel are pretty good and their characters are funny and charming plus pretty cool overall as for Alfred Molina he is good as well and it's great to see him trying an evil role once again since Spider-Man 2 and Teresa Palmer was alright although her character was only used to just become the girlfriend of the main hero as for Monica Bellucci, Toby Kebbell and Omar Benson Miller their characters are kinda useless and even forgettable especially Kebbell, the action and the special effects are quite well done (except the dragon and the minotaur those 2 looked awful). Now for the bad stuff the movie is kinda cheesy at times and although the jokes did make me chuckle and even laugh i think that some were a bit way too much, plus as i already said 2 side characters 2 creatures in general looked awful and the whole girlfriend thing could have been much better but overall i had a great time watching this movie and it's definitely better than some of Cage's most recent films. (8/10)

Like Season of the Witch, this movie feels a little cursed, for no visible reason. Correction: no visible reason except for an actor from the main cast, Nic Cage.This is one of the few Disney movies that I enjoy. It has a great cast, plot, lore, action, special effects, acting, and musical score.With some good characters, this movie can at times, be very memorable. Parts like the final fight and the Chinatown Sequence, stick into your mind like silly puddy.This movie follows that guy who voices Hiccup from How to Train Your Dragons, as he goes from college loser, to Merlon's successor, known in this film as the "Prime Merlonian". Nicolas Cage as Balthazar Blake, Merlon's apprentice, trains whatever his name. The jealous Horvath, one of Merlon's other apprentices tries to resurrect the evil Morgana le Fey, to end the Prime Merlonian and Balthazar.It has this implacable vibe, that is very cool. Some nods to stuff like Fantasia and One Republic (mainly because their song Secrets was popular when this came out).It's a weird, modern magic film that is far more appealing to me than any Harry Potter film, which is why I give it an 8/10. It's a good film and a good watch.

This movie is awesome, and any of the idiots giving it less than a ten stars are nothing more than a bunch of LOSERS with no humor, no seriousness, and absolutely no character. Cage plays his role amazingly well and of course anybody that knows of him the caliber of his acting is top notch no matter what role you stick him in. He always delivers a nearly flawless performance. Where's apprentice 2? They leave it open and I've been waiting 4 years for this new movie series to finish taking off. SOMEONE needs to get off of their tail and write or finish writing the script. I Couldn't imagine anybody that actually paid attention to the movie and the scripting rating this any less than I have. Mr. Cage and company, I ask again, where's our Sequels we were essentially promised?

All the negative reviews are focusing on the acting performances of Cage and Baruchel, which, I agree, aren't the best but at the end of the day this film wasn't made to be a contender for any acting Oscar nominations.What you get I is a good, fun movie that lets you escape from the usual day to day rubbish and that doesn't pretend to be anything more that what it is.I'm not saying this because I'm a Nicholas Cage fan, which I'm most certainly not, while I think he is a talented actor I've only really enjoyed him in Con Air, Face Off and Lord if War.Tell me, who didn't like Micky Mouse in Fantasia, or never dreamt about being a witch or a wizard when they were a kid or loved watching dungeons and dragons cartoons, this movie takes you right back.
