The Sorcerer's Apprentice (2010)

Truly Dreadful Film

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

He is nerd and physicist but too dumb being a sorcerer. Very crappy movie.

Believe it or not, this is actually a pretty good movie. I was annoyed with a few aspects of the movie such as my extreme annoyance with Jay Baruchel. But I think Nic Cage carried the movie. He is a very talented actor and he proves it in each movie he's in whether it's good or bad.This is about wizard named Balthazar who lives in modern day New York City. He has been searching for many centuries for the perfect kid who would be finally be his apprentice. He finally meets that kid and he trains him to be the one to save the world.The acting is pretty good. Of course Nic Cage is more than good Acting is better than expected. Nicholas Cage is quite good more serious and less over the top as he try to stop Horvath from getting to kill the blood line of Merlin and bring his love back from the depts. Of hell in the proclen Russian dolls AD, good sorcerer Balthazar Blake (Nicolas Cage) has been searching for over 1000 years for the next Prime Merlinean, the only one who has the power to destroy Morgana and her accomplice Maxim Horvath (Alfred Molina) and to stop their plan to raise dead evil sorcerers (Morganians) and take over the world. Then one day in the year 2000, 10-year old David Stutler (Jake Cherry) wanders into Balthazar's Manhattan shop, the Arcana Cabana, and Balthazar realizes that he's found him. David's life is about to change as he becomes The Sorcerer's Apprentice. . I was also impressed at Alfred Molina. Jay Baruchel is the geek hero he is ordinary person not known he is Merlin's apprentice he learns to control his powers after 10 years of baltzar first mission to find the last of Merlin's but he gets caught and driven back to hell so went he gets released he has to teach how to use the ring and make objects appear from nothing and to stop veronica from unleashing hell from the People compare this movie for some reason to Harry Potter. I'll say now that this is no Potter. This film is no masterpiece like the Potter series but it still is good.Overall, this is a pretty good family movie. I would turn a deaf ear to the critics and watch this. I rate this film 8/10. Overall, this is entertaining and well done. The effects are not revolutionary but at least fit in to the story rather than detract from it. No violence or mayhem - its OK for a younger to general audience. The script is pleasant if predictable - does the nerd hero rise to the task and vanquish the evil forces. There could have been more historical witches besides Abigail Williams of Salem. There are some humorous bits but not too many.

Nicolas Cage cant act and he ruins every movie he has ever been in! Ben Affleck is way worse but I'm sure the list could go on for a very long time. Wish he hadn't destroyed the sorcerers apprentice! WOW and I have to write more about how this guy sucks plays no emotions as I have to have so many words to post... ill say it again he sucks at acting! holy they want ten lines of text.... hopefully this works... because I don't know how to write anything more... about how much he sucks... also ghost rider was destroyed by him! I wont waste my time watching season of the witch because it looks to painful. Doubt I will waste another minute of my life watching a movie with him in it!

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?
