MOVIE Review "THE SORCERER'S APPRENTICE" Score C+ 79%

Meh......What this is: Think "National Treasure"+"Pirates of the Caribbean" Meets "The Mummy" with a nerdy lead and make it all family friendly then subtract any "Harry Potter/Lord of the Rings-like" magical coolness you might have been expecting. The magic and magical fights are all Disney-fied. Cage does his quirky thing in this role that he does in all roles. The lead guy is uber nerdy and his especially annoying nasally weak speaking voice, tone and cadence are all almost too much to bear. There are some cool effects to be found (thanks to millions in CGI). But this is once again the dumbing down of movies to appeal to the broadest number of people. There are some interesting moments but by the predicable ending it kind of leaves you feeling a bit empty, like eating worthless junk food.... it will fill you up but not in a good way.
