Frans B @FransB Sep 30, 2026 Brilliant. No idea as to why this is downplayed, but anywhooooo ... Jon Turteltaub did good directing here. Stellar cast all excel in character. The reason of most critique against Cage is the exact reason he fits this particular character. Well written, rapid pace, so, you have to keep up (I understand why some find it "incoherent"😜) Have to keep your wits about you here dude. Good writing and great cinematography makes is visually stunning. Rollercoaster ride filled with action, sorcery, magic and all that, intrigue, drama, suspense and emotion. Fascinating and captivating See more Robert P @Superbad Sep 7, 2026 This was not a good movie, but I enjoyed watching the cleaning devices that cleaned up the floor - Reminded me of Mickey Mouse in Fantasia See more Marius R @RT12940373 Aug 11, 2026 Not exactly a masterpiece, but not every movie has to keep you clapping every second of it. It does the job it's supposed to do, entertain and tell a decent story. The CGI is good, the story is decent, felt a bit rushed at the end, I think Morgana should have had a bit more screen time, and the acting feels like it was a let down a few scenes, but honestly it's a story about a young guy going through a lot of weird stuff, so Baruchel did well with that. All in all a very good choice if you're tired of overly serious movies and/or want some more magic in a setting different than Harry Potters world that still holds up where it matters. See more Dakota P @DaCinephile Aug 3, 2026 The Sorcerer’s Apprentice succeeds at producing a fun iteration inspired by the Goethe ballad. It meets the expectations one would have for a film of this genre and style. Campy at times with basic continuity issues that compound the lack of depth, but fun nonetheless. The pacing went helter-skelter halfway through, and I believe the potential for a new franchise fell away with it.  I enjoyed Nicholas Cage and Jay Baruchel’s chemistry, as did the children watching. Sorcerer’s Apprentice remains a choice for them, which is what matters. See more Tj B @RT77549479 Jul 23, 2026 Honestly the movie itself has a lot of potential. For its time the cgi is fine. The acting is ok with Alfred Molina being the absolute stand out. If the magic could have been fleshed out more I think this could have worked. Theres a lot of focus on a love story where I think the action and world building should’ve been focused on more. The final battle consists of Jay using a generic kamehameha when it should’ve been a magic spectacle. Again their was a lot of potential with what was here but the execution didn’t hit. See more Paul S @PManRager Jun 29, 2026 There were some problems with the story, and Jay Baruchel's performance definitely did not help the movie, but overall, I thought this movie was great. The movie presented a really fun and enchanting adventure, with amazing visuals and mesmerizing lore to leave you hooked. I'd definitely put this in the same league as the Harry Potter films, even though it wasn't as successful. I definitely recommend it for action, adventure, and fantasy fans!
