THE SORCERER'S APPRENTICE


Balthazar Blake (Nicolas Cage) is a master sorcerer in modern-day Manhattan trying to defend the city from his arch-nemesis, Maxim Horvath (Alfred Molina). Balthazar can't do it alone, so he recruits Dave Stutler (Jay Baruchel), a seemingly average guy who demonstrates hidden potential, as his reluctant protege. The sorcerer gives his unwilling accomplice a crash course in the art and science of magic, and these unlikely partners will work together to stop the forces of darkness.

we (my colleagues and i) didn't know what the show was all about. we thought it were just another magical-warrior fight-something like the inkheart back in the generation of the king david.

when i got to know that Balthazar Blake had actually searched for the merlin apprentice for centuries, i was like - how come he is still alive? shouldn't he be dead after centuries? oh, i was reminded that this is a movie which is full of magic. okay...

in just some blinks away, the screen had brought us to the new york city, centuries after the incident. erm... time really flew... again, i was reminded that this is a movie which is full of magic. okay...

in another second, the screen brought us to 10 years later, where suddenly Dave Stutler became a 19 year-old teenager, who looked cuter when he was 9 years old. oh gosh... please bring me back to 10 years before. hahaha...

as predicted, he was the apprentice who Balthazar Blake had searched for centuries. after some trainings and classes by the master, he had gained and learned all the 'magic tricks' and fought against the black magic and succeeded.

the most 假 thing about this movie is... when he fought against the black magic (it was like 唔空 with his 龟波气功). another 假 thing is when he saved Balthazar Blake from death. i think it'd be better if it's an anti-climax. no choice... this is a disneyland movie, full of magic...

conclusion, this is a magical-romantic-comedy. go watch...
