The Sorcerer's Apprentice

Balthazar Blake (Nicolas Cage) is a master sorcerer in modern-day Manhattan trying to defend the city from his arch-nemesis, Maxim Horvath (Alfred Molina). Balthazar can't do it alone, so he recruits Dave Stutler (Jay Baruchel), a seemingly average guy who demonstrates hidden potential, as his reluctant protégé. The sorcerer gives his unwilling accomplice a crash course in the art and science of magic, and together, these unlikely partners 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."


This movie is exactly what you would expect it to be. It has some good moments. It has plenty of who cares moments. And of course it has a continuation of craptastic acting by Nicolas Cage. Disney basically just tried to capitalize on some cool visuals and making a movie based on the famous Mickey Mouse short from Fantasia. Ironically, the scene with the brooms that pays homage to that short is the most ill placed scene in the whole movie.


I wouldn't really recommend people checking this out. Its not outright horrible, but its not really worth your time either.
