"The Sorcerer's Apprentice" Review

Nicholas Cage is a Sorcerer,

He gets his own Apprentice,

He trains his apprentice,

The movie goes on,

and on,

and on,

and on,

Finally you realize it,

you should be watching Fantasia instead

Yet again, another cheesy action movie enters our disappointing summer of movies. This new movie is Disney's "The Sorcerer's Apprentice." And, it's smells a bit rotten.

I have to admit. I went into the theater expecting very little from this movie and left with pretty much the same reaction. Jay Baruchel's recent effort, "She's out of my League", led me to believe he was possibly one of the most annoying actors in Hollywood. However, I have to give him credit in "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" he steps away from that annoying character and becomes just largely forgettable! So, yes Baruchel is showing "slight" signs of improvement. Also starring alongside, Baruchel is big-name actor, Nicholas Cage, who goes through the movie playing a character similar to pretty much every other character he's ever played. Only this time, he's got long hair.

The story in the movie is pretty expected. Ancient evil is unleashed that wants to......DESTROY THE WORLD! Pretty typical plot. As already noted, the story just drags out for such a long time that really it's hard to care what's going on. You get a couple of laughs, you get a couple of actions scenes, and some decent special effects.

Now, don't get me wrong. The movie isn't terrible. It's definitely watchable unlike a recent summer movie, *cough* Last Airbender *cough*. But, really, what the movie comes down to is plainly it's a "Popcorn" movie. Last time we mentioned a movie like this it was praise towards, "The A-Team." This time however, "Popcorn" movie doesn't cut it.

I prefer Mickey Mouse.
