Simply A Masterpiece

Overrated

Good start, but then it gets ruined

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

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.

Moderately entertaining, this fantasy of evil traveling 1500 years to the big Apple is mixed to the core. Fortunately, it's a story of good first evil but as its is center around Hollywood obsession with black magic, it gets to be weather disturbing in spots. At least history is used, with the legendary magician Merlin at the center of the opening of the film we're good and evil are locked together in some sort of mythical bottle and end up in modern- day New York in the hands of a troubled youngster who find himself humiliated in front of his classmates when he encounters good and evil magicians in a building and ends up coming out looking like he's with his pants. Ten years go by, and he is apparently back to normal, sorcerers both good and evil are after him for completely different reasons.Nicolas Cage represents good while Alfred Molina is definitely on the side of the dark hearts, desperate to get his hands on the bottle that contains the spirit of sorceress Morgan La Fey, the thistle in the side of Merlin during the King Arthur era. So with magic both black and white going all over Manhattan in order to keep Le Fey from escaping in order to bring out all the evil dead back to destroy the world, Cage becomes mentor towards Merlin's alleged descendant who has the common sense of a central park pigeon.This is OK family fare for ages 10 up, it gets rather silly at times, leaving adults often looking at their watches. It also gets rather repetitive, seemingly taking forever to get to its conclusion. Dozens of similar movies have dominated the big screen since the beginning of the millennium, and this is no better or worse than the mist mediocre. A tribute to the sequence in "Fantasia" is most obviously the highlight. Otherwise, this is just formula fluff with little point.

Nicolas Cage cant act and he ruins every movie he has ever been in! Ben Affleck is way worse but I'm sure the list could go on for a very long time. Wish he hadn't destroyed the sorcerers apprentice! WOW and I have to write more about how this guy sucks plays no emotions as I have to have so many words to post... ill say it again he sucks at acting! holy they want ten lines of text.... hopefully this works... because I don't know how to write anything more... about how much he sucks... also ghost rider was destroyed by him! I wont waste my time watching season of the witch because it looks to painful. Doubt I will waste another minute of my life watching a movie with him in it!

Four years later and my family still loves this film. From ages 3-40 we all love this movie and they could not have picked a better cast to bring life to these characters. I grew up loving fantasia and it's the best tribute I've seen towards it and while still holding its own story. Wonderful for any age, entertaining and definitely going to be a classic for ages to come. many movies you find when they use magic it's very theatrical yet lacking making you feel it would have been better left out or just plain embarrassing, this movie feels relate-able with very normal characters while throwing in magic that is a little different then the usual, you don't get the cringe feeling when they are doing it. We loved the music set for the movie that One Republic did and it happens to be a great tribute to Tesla, it did get my kids more interested in what exactly it was and who the man was that invented it.
