Movies

The kids & I were trying kill some time while Mom had a baking party at the house so we went to this with zero expectations. I was very pleasantly surprised. Nicolas Cage does a great job at the sorcerer who is looking for the "Prime Merlinian". He is the sorcerer who will inherit Merlin's powers. Our hero (David) is of course that person. The fun is in Cage's ability to be annoyed with the kid and like him at the same time. The CGI is enough to enhance the story but not overwhelm it. All four of my kids (ages 4-11) liked it. Some parts might be a little scary but not too bad (a dragon clomping around is all). Fun family flick.PS I also liked that the hero held a door for a girl. I pointed that out to my boys who need to learn that.

i really enjoyed this movie.it was well paced,with good acting,and the dialogue was actually not bad.it had lots of action excitement.the special effect were good as was the CGI.i also liked the storyline,although feel it could have been fleshed out a bit more,as could a few of the characters.in general,though,it was a fun movie to watch.i'm surprised it didn't do better at the box office.it's rated a little low on this site in my opinion.there's a nod to the classic Disney animated film Fantasia.well more than a nod.it's a whole sequence actually,which is kind of cool.when you add it all up,you get a pretty good film.for me,The Sorcerer's Apprentice is a 7/10

This Disney movie is fun and the effects are first grade.Nicolas Cage is good as expected. Same goes to Alfred Molina and it's always nice to see Monica Bellucci.BUT, there is one BIG problem and that is Jay Baruchel. Why, o why, they had to put him into this movie? He ruined it completely with his annoying appearance, voice and, above all, irritating not-at-all-talented acting. They should have find different actor for this role. I don't have someone in mind but this one is very wrong. Without him it would be a much better movie.But, it's still entertaining, in spite of occasional not funny jokes which are forced into scenario. The story is bearable and neat effects pulls it out of average, slightly.
