OH WOW!!.O.K. i really wasn't expecting much with this one at all. But i hate to say it ...i was pleasantly surprised..Nicolas Cage (the Rock, Face Off)plays Master sorcerer Balthazar Blake a apprentice to Merlin who has to search for the "golden child" of magic which is played by new dork actor Jay Baruchel (Shes Out of my League,Tropic Thunder)to help save the world from the evilest of evils..this movie is great for the whole family...might have some pretty tense scenes that might freak out the 5 and under crowd but everyone else will like it..its filled with suprises that are unexpected, which i think helps this movie stand outside of the rest of the cookie cutter summer movies..cool car chases,fancy fight scenes and lil romance..the writing isn't great but it is at least fast paced and fun and different..you really didnt know what was going to happen next...Nick Cage does a great job of playing the Doc Brown of Sorcerers..Alfred Molina (Raiders of the lost Ark, Spiderman 2)plays the evil sorcerer that is after the magic doll that contains the most evil of evils the soul of a woman whom was imprisoned in the doll thousands of years ago and wants to use it to destroy Balthazar and his new apprentice..the special effects are awesome and the magic is plenty..my son asked to see it again immediately right after the film which is always a good sign.
And for the die hard ol skool fans they do play homage to the original animated Sorcerer's Apprentice from Fantasia...very cleverly but no Mickey Mouse cameos...
I really can't say anything bad about this movie.
it was a fun matinee worth the $20 and the 2 hours of time
