The Sorcerer's Apprentice

Best Magic/sorcery movie.

The 1st and last minute or so are generically bad, the rest is a mixture of very dark symbology from (most likely) very dark/dull forces and what feels like humor and input from forces of a brighter and more artistically-capable disposition. 3.15/5

4/5 the only gripe I have with this film is the fact it is based on British legends and myths yet it ends up in New York and with American actors the actors are good but just didn’t make sense other wise highly entertaining and enjoyable film 4/5

The film has the Disney glitz, with a story based on ancient magic characters. Not a classic, however.

This movie helped me thought one of the worst parts of my life by just being its goofy self. They didn't try to take it to seriously, and I loved that. Overall, great movie, I would love a sequel.

A physics student, played by Jay Baruchel, is recruited by a wizard, played by Nicolas Cage, to stop the ultimate evil of Morgana le Fay from returning. The scene that is a homage to the Mickey Mouse scene from Fantasia was appreciated, but seemed out of place or not properly set up in the framework of this film. Beyond that, I think there is the beginnings of a good film here, but it wasn’t realized because of an unnecessarily complicated plot and a finale that was terribly underwhelming. Jay Baruchel will forever be the voice of Hiccup, from the How to Train Your Dragon franchise to me and his performance in this movie seemed like he was playing Hiccup again in a different setting. The other acting performances were all bland. The CGI was all done during night scenes or dark settings to hide the fact that it sucked. There is a good movie in here somewhere it is just too hard to find it to recommend watching this movie, skip it.

Bad, laughable nonsense

It wasn't so bad hence I enjoyed it so much.

Very entertaining! Fantastical and believable at the same time

Who can make a movie extremely silly and easy to laugh at, yet feel just as serious as any other action movie in the thick of it? Nick cage, that's who. Who doesn't love magic? Especially when you never know what it could be. 2 minutes of cg magic open the world to the mystery of ancient vases and cryptic history your imagination will go wild with, at many times mixing awe inducing magic with funny moments that will make you rewind. The only thing I'm disappointed in is that so many others don't share my opinion, that the next movie got discontinued. If you're the creative type, this movie feels like a home you never knew. If you disagree, I'm gonna need to see your faculty identification card
