A magia está em todos os lugares em O Aprendiz de Feiticeiro da Disney – a aventura divertida para a família, dos mesmos criadores de A Lenda do Tesouro Perdido. Balthazar Blake (Nicolas Cage) é um feiticeiro moderno que está defendendo Manhattan das forças malignas. Quando um rapaz de aparência comum demonstra potenciais ocultos, Balthazar relutantemente faz dele seu aprendiz e o inicia rapidamente na arte e ciência da magia para que ele se torne o poderoso aprendiz de feiticeiro. Sinta toda a emoção extraordinária e veja ação ininterrupta e efeitos especiais espetacularmente quando essa dupla improvável nos mostra que o mundo real é muito mais mágico do que imaginamos. (Disney / Buena Vista Brasil)

Muito divertido e com muitos efeitos digitais caros para ver (que eventualmente melhoram a impressão geral), mas também sem ideia e ainda por cima com um personagem principal pouco ágil. Há tantas coisas ilógicas na história, que o número de crianças africanas a morrer de fome parece um número insignificante ao seu lado. As poucas boas ideias são afogadas no facto de o número mínimo de feitiços se repetir uma e outra vez e de tudo isto ser demasiado complicado, mas previsível até ao ponto de vergonha. Além disso, Turteltaub não consegue filmar uma batalha entre dois feiticeiros ou qualquer cena de ação de uma forma que pareça mesmo remotamente interessante. Basicamente a mesma coisa que O Último Airbender, porém, dei-lhe três estrelas no final porque pelo menos ri bem com ele.

The first half is undeniably awesome! Cage has a big mane on his head after thirteen years and is cooler than ever, Baruchel is a nerdy dork and Molina's slimy villain is best of all. But then the rules are laid down, Turteltaub starts repeating everything (can they really do no more than throw plasma balls at each other!?) and the wit and perspective disappear. The finale is as breathless and boring as the bulldog. It’s a sad state of affairs when, after less than an hour, you still think you’d love to give this "Bruckheimer popcorn" four stars.

Too much of a bet on certainty. There have been many modern action-romantic fantasies in recent years, but not every one can be made into a saga. This one definitely won't be. It's not a disaster, but almost everything has been seen better elsewhere. Nicolas Cage stands out the most in the film, as if he were born for Jon Turteltaub's films, but he will shine even more in National Treasure 3. The few modestly positive impressions are thanks to him, the "flash" version of "Secrets" by OneRepublic, and the unexpected reference to the classic Disney short.

Back in movie theatres after a long time. I can't say I regretted the price of admission, since my parents paid it for me, i.e. I went to take my younger sister out. It reminded me of other movies (like Beauty and the Beast) at several points. As early as the very intro, where the betrayal occurs, I was already laughing; but it was so good, I got past it. Then the year 2000, where even I was enthralled by the drawing on the glass of the school bus, then just routine and blah blah. Thankfully, the boy grows up, time passes, and we have 2010, where of course what everyone expects happens. Yes, please turn your brains off and you'll be entertained, but unfortunately mine turned on a few times and I had to make a sarcastic remark here and there (my sister liked them, I don't know about the rest of you who heard me). By the end, I was praying there wouldn't be another instalment (even though the creators left a way in). Otherwise, the weird wizard was resurrected exactly as I expected; we need people like Dave in our health care system... :-D The acting was average (only Dave delivered at times, I'd say, especially when he got the same look on his face that my uncle gets when he gets drunk, I really give positive points for that, not just anyone can do that...). And the three songs are worth downloading.

I hereby declare Teresa Palmer the beauty of the year. Otherwise, The Sorcerer’s Apprentice is a fine fairytale, spoiled by Turteltaub’s directing. Jerry should look for somebody more capable. Cage plays a pleasant weirdo once again and Jay Baruchel does a good job too. Is there any other movie where a mop saved the day? Give me the doll!

A teenage fantasy (for teenagers). It's not a bad film, but it's too specifically targeted and can't even be considered a family film. The best actors (Monica Bellucci, Alfred Molina) unfortunately play only second fiddle.

Except for the exaggerated runtime and the rather unsympathetic main character, I have practically nothing to complain about regarding The Sorcerer's Apprentice. The film was exactly what I expected it to be. Entertaining, digitally spectacular, funny (sometimes a lot ---> quotes from Star Wars and Raiders of the Lost Ark, the line "Are you someone from Depeche mode?"), well acted for easy family entertainment (except for the aforementioned apprentice), and sometimes even action-packed (the car chase) and harmless. Cage and Molina won't disappoint their fans, and Monica Bellucci certainly won't either, although she isn’t on screen for very long. Turteltaub directs skillfully and briskly, helped a lot by Rabin's music (but it doesn't impress when listened to on its own). If you want Hollywood popcorn entertainment, you'll get it. He who spits in anger can only curse himself. Nobody was expecting The Prestige 2, were they?

Overall, The Sorcerer's Apprentice struck me as a mix of Harry Potter and some teenage sugary stuff. The effects were great and I have absolutely no complaints. Nicolas Cage, Alfred Molina, and Monica Bellucci fit their characters for me, but Jay Baruchel pretty much sucked - as did a lot of others there. In the end, this is a typical American commercial fantasy film with a predictable plot, mostly good actors and solid effects.

I like Nicolas Cage. I'm not ashamed of it at all, and basically, any movie with him somehow catches my interest. Sure, this isn't a role like in Kick-Ass, but this mentoring pose suits him quite well. The film is a classic entertaining blockbuster, and I don't have much against it. It's not perfectly crafted or super original in terms of story, you just need to watch it once, but for that one viewing, it was a fun time.
