The Sorcerer's Apprentice

Here’s another movie that has not lived up to its hype. Yes, it contains some pretty cool special effects, but at the end of the day its just another over-edited blockbuster that will entertain more kids than it does adults.

A powerful sorcerer (Nicolas Cage) has been seeking a special trainee to help him conquer his enemy. When he eventually finds him, he’s ready for some serious training. But Dave is just an ordinary guy and struggles to get to grips with his power. This means plenty of “Shoo, wow, cool” comments. Annoying. The results are predictable: He makes tons of mistakes and eventually gets the hang of this sorcery thing. He’s a winner. The movie also leaves a wide, gaping hole for a sequel to fill, so try get used to the idea of a Sorcerer saga.

I’m not saying you won’t enjoy it, I’m just saying curb your enthusiasm. Despite what it looks like, this is not an epic trailblazer.

Rating: 3 outta 5.
