When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

The Sorcerer's Apprentice is an action-fantasy about a young boy who goes into an antique shop to get a note but brakes a pot that releases an evil sorcerer. I enjoyed the movie very much and have repeatedly watched the movie which is very hard for me because I start to pick apart the movie which can ruin the movie for me and others, but The Sorcerer's Apprentice just doesn't get boring for me. i think this is a film for all ages to enjoy and watch with the family.

Master sorcerer Balthazar Blake must find and train Merlin's descendant to defeat dark sorceress Morgana la Fée. The Sorcerer's Apprentice is a film that i never cared to see until now and honestly after finishing it it really wasn't that bad to begin with, first the good stuff Nicolas Cage and Jay Baruchel are pretty good and their characters are funny and charming plus pretty cool overall as for Alfred Molina he is good as well and it's great to see him trying an evil role once again since Spider-Man 2 and Teresa Palmer was alright although her character was only used to just become the girlfriend of the main hero as for Monica Bellucci, Toby Kebbell and Omar Benson Miller their characters are kinda useless and even forgettable especially Kebbell, the action and the special effects are quite well done (except the dragon and the minotaur those 2 looked awful). Now for the bad stuff the movie is kinda cheesy at times and although the jokes did make me chuckle and even laugh i think that some were a bit way too much, plus as i already said 2 side characters 2 creatures in general looked awful and the whole girlfriend thing could have been much better but overall i had a great time watching this movie and it's definitely better than some of Cage's most recent films. (8/10)

The Sorcerer's Apprentice (2010): Dir: Jon Turteltaub / Cast: Nicolas Cage, Jay Baruchel, Alfred Molina, Teresa Palmer, Toby Kebbell: About as much fun as chewing on shards of glass. It regards the smaller factors making bigger impacts but unfortunately this film should make an impact into someone's fireplace. Nicolas Cage plays a sorcerer who recruits heir Jay Baruchel, a physics major trying to reclaim his life after their first encounter. Plot regards a layer doll that acts as a prison to demonic figures who will escape and wreck havoc. Director Jon Turteltaub is at his worst and that is unfortunate for someone who made such entertainment as The Kid and While You Were Sleeping. The special effects are terrible and are about as fetching as a sh*t stain outhouse. Cage looks ridiculous with that stupid hat on. They should have called him Bozo the clown for all the seriousness he brought to the material. Baruchel's dialogue consists of pitiful wails and throwing out one-liners about self pity and other emotions that fail to make this crap entertaining. Alfred Molina is typecast as a demon who materializes out of a collectors item and wrecks havoc. Teresa Palmer as potential girlfriend to the Apprentice is a joke. She just happens to have a grand attitude about all of this while making it plenty convenient that she only wants adventure. Cage has not had it easy at this time, and starring in films this stupid is not exactly helping his cause. Easily one of the worst films of the year with a large degree of nonsense. It is a Hollywood spell that fails fast and should be blow torched into nothingness. Score: 1 / 10

from a "Merlinian" of sorts: OK, only because of my narrated Symphony no. 1 (Idylls of the King about King Arthur) on You Tube in which Merlin is a character.Both Nic Cage and Jay Baruchel ham it up predictably with the latter in the Mickey Mouse role; See the broom sequence with its brief quotation from Paul Dukas' composition of the same name. (He doesn't really outact Mickey though!) Alfred Molina, an admirable man in real life is the effective baddie here.The acting is mostly non-existent but what does anyone expect from a Disney film since the Disneys specialize in often very pretty teenagers of both genders who can't act. (The main heroine also is strictly generic.) The plot throughout is far-fetched but this is also expected under the same circumstances!You will go out humming the special effects!
