The Sorcerer’s Apprentice Movie Review

The overall Rating of The movie The Sorcerer’s Apprentices is generally getting a lot of Mixed reviews, so far as early reviews come in. Plot of the movie: Nicolas Cage is a master sorcerer in modern-day Manhattan, who finds a reluctant protege in his fight against the forces of darkness Starring:Nicolas Cage, Jay Baruchel, Alfred Molina, Teresa Palmer, Monica Bellucci, and Toby Kebbell.

Here are some favorable reviews, as the ones you’ll find below:

The tone is both goofier and darker than the Potter pictures, and some of the magic battles built around New York City landmarks are eye-popping; there’s also a genuinely affecting romance between Baruchel and fetching newcomer Teresa Palmer.-Chicago Reader

Turteltaub strives to show us realistic-looking magic, without realizing he’d be better off if he acknowledged that there’s no such thing. Instead, we get human figures that emerge “magically” from swarms of cockroaches and sorceresses who dissolve into dust particles right before our eyes. It’s the best CGI money can buy, and who cares?-Movieline

The Mixed but favorable reviews in the media.

Other than the Pottersploitation and presence of current It nerd Baruchel, this fantasy-action-comedy might have been spat out into multiplexes any summer over the previous two decades, yet it would seem like forgettable abracadabra filler regardless of the date. -Time Out New York

The lesson at the core of Goethe’s poem — that powerful spirits are not to be taken lightly, and should only be conjured by those who can control them — goes out the window, and the mentor-student relationship gets swallowed up in the action. Bruckheimer may be the dark lord of Tinseltown, but he’s the Mickey Mouse of this scenario, and the mops and brooms get the best of him. “-NPR

    I took my 8 year old son, and we both enjoyed it. It wasn’t amazing by any means, but it was a good wholesome family movie without too much graffic violence, blood, guts, and gore. It was able to keep my active 8 year engaged and talking for hours after the movie ended.
