It's a whole load of silly but there's enough fun to make this a decent slice of forgettable escapism.

The plot verges on incoherence, but The Sorcerer's Apprentice is entertaining enough if you can forgive the presence of Cage, whose brand of glum camp hasn't grown any fresher with the years.

Cage and Baruchel fail to generate a connection and, apart from Molina's Oscar Wilde impersonation, there isn't much to laugh at -- or thrill to, for that matter, since the action has been choreographed with the nerveless competence of an arcade game.

The non-stop action almost drowns out what might have been a decent screenplay...

It's an enjoyable action-fantasy adventure with a sparky script; there's even a playful pastiche of the broomsticks-coming-alive scene from the original legend, using the famous Paul Dukas music.

For my next trick, I will make the sequel disappear!

Audience Reviews for The Sorcerer's Apprentice

May 12, 2016While it may have it's moments where it truly shines, The Sorcerer's Apprentice is an overall forgettable and predictable affair that is at least worth watching only once.Matthew M Super Reviewer

Sep 10, 2012Bad acting, Bad story.. this movie tries to be a magical epic but falls short in nearly every department. Nick cage has been taking a lot of L's.. The only movie i've seen him actually put in work and look like he cared about is Kick-Ass. The rest of his stuff is usually trash. This is no exception.. what were they thinking. Most of it is laughable.Vincent T Super Reviewer

Jul 06, 2012Disney teams up with Jerry Bruckheimer to crank out another abomination with The Sorcerer's Apprentice. The sorcerer Balthazar takes on a young apprentice, believing him to be the wizard prophesied to finally destroy the evil sorceress Morgana. Nicolas Cage, Jay Baruchel, Alfred Molina, and Teresa Palmer form an interesting cast, but their performances are uneven and they don't work as an ensemble. The script is poor and the special effects are amateurish. Unfortunately, there's no magic to The Sorcerer's Apprentice.Dann M Super Reviewer

Jan 03, 2012Another bad Nicolas Cage film, but at least it wasn't absolutely terrible like Bangkok Dangerous. There's some really cool special effects, and a decent story, but everything else is bad. The casting is terrible except for Monica Bellucci, who's always good (though she doesn't even show up until the end, basically). I'm convinced Nicolas Cage took this role because he was already in Season of the Witch, which is basically the same thing; he has the same disinterested look on his face throughout the entire film. Jay Baruchel normally isn't bad, but he's so over the top during nearly every scene with his awkwardness that it becomes excruciating very quickly. The writers must have thought the audience would be retarded or something; we get it: he's a socially awkward geek who wants to get the attractive girl. It's been done so many times, especially in Alfred Molina's biggest film, Spider-Man 2 (as Doctor Octopus), speaking of unusual casting again, where Peter Parker is the awkward nerd who tries to get Mary Jane. Though this is an interesting film, it's just so cliche'd: every single scene has some kind of unnecessary cliche', and obviously rips off major films, including Star Wars and Fantasia in the span of like 3 minutes. This is enjoyable to watch just because of its awfulness, and for no other reason.Stephen S Super Reviewer
