It has a likable cast and loads of CGI spectacle, but for all but the least demanding viewers, The Sorcerer's Apprentice will be less than spellbinding.

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. September 9, 2010 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

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.

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. August 13, 2010 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Perhaps the biggest problem with "Apprentice" lies in the script -- which is basically on autopilot from the opening scene. May 9, 2019 | Rating: C | Full Review…

A formulaic, coincidental, not-at-all-hilarious schlock-fest that can't even be saved by some obviously spendy special effects. I'd say skip this one, unless you're curious about whether or not Cage's incredible hair weave will win some kind of award. March 8, 2019 | Full Review…

It's a whole load of silly but there's enough fun to make this a decent slice of forgettable escapism. August 23, 2018 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

In a post-Potter world where fantasy flicks are ten a-penny, there is simply nothing here to make [The Sorcerer's] Apprentice stand out from the crowd. September 19, 2017 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…
