Balthazar Blake is a great sorcerer who is living in Manhattan, New York City. He tries to defend the city against his nemesis, Maxim Horvath. Balthazar cannot do it alone, so he hired Dave Stutler, a seemingly ordinary boy who has a real potential to be a great sorcerer. However, to become his apprentice, there is still a long way to go for him. The sorcerer gives his reluctant apprentice a crash course on the art and science of magic, and together these two unlikely partners will try their best to stop the evilest forces in the New York City. It will take time and courage for Dave to survive and learn the magic, save the city ...
Why do I go to the cinema to watch this movie? Is it really interesting? The answer is definitely not for the new trendy cut "greasy hair" of Nicolas Cage, but for the fantasy in this movie.
With a rather moderate enthusiasm I watched it. It looks like that it is pretty good. It combines the balls (from my perspective): Jerry Bruckheimer, Jon Turteltaub (National Treasure), Nicolas Cage ( we could expect much more from him in this film). All work with Walt Disney Pictures and take us to a strange world, in which the good will fight against the evil.
Ok, no more teasing. As far as I am concerned, it is not very nice for Jerry and Jon (that pending Apprentice Wizard 2 decided to re-offend for a National Treasure 3) work together. At least, in this movie, their cooperation is not perfect. The film still has an advantage that it attracts our sympathy: Jay Baruchel. This guy is funny. Plus, this guy is awesome. Jay, I like him movies since the Tropic Thunder, Knocked Fanboys, even Too Beautiful! With his performance, we had a good laugh.
As far as I am concerned, it's nice to see him in this movie. His performance in it is good and his character in it is pretty cool. The movie is funny, entertaining, although sometimes it is a little ridiculous and the story is sometimes far-fetched. However, it does not surprise the viewer and does not follow the conventional plot.
Overall, I prefer to see it and recommend it to my friends.
