I enjoyed watching Sorcerer's Apprentice at the midnight show. The show, unfortunately was not well attended. I guess it didn't peak the interest of the geek population. But as a geek myself I certainly enjoyed the storyline, the special effects and there were even some choice bits of dialogue. It is better than average family entertainment. Jay Barchel (Dave, the last Merlinian) puts in a believable and lovable performance as the science nerd. I liked how they linked physics and magic, because everyone knows that mathematics is true magic. There is a scene that in my opinion is in homage to The Sword in the Stone, a great Disney animated tale of Merlin. Sorcerer's Apprentice is well worth checking out if you are a fan of Nicolas Cage, Merlin, Magic or romantic comedy (the romance is a sub plot).
This was an excellent sequel. It was funny, entertaining and had good action. What more can you want. There were enough inside jokes for the comic book fans, too. All in all, well worth the time.
I am a Twiligter (yeah one of those) so I was very excited to see the movie. I knew that it would not be as good as the book(s) because that is an unfair comparison. Books and movies are two different mediums. I thought it was a good adaptation, it did move very fast and I would like to talk with someone who saw the movie but didn't read the book to see how they felt the pacing and plot flow went. Rob Pattinson was really good at Edward ( a very hard role to fill with so many expectations). The other students were interesting not what I pictured but they didn't detract from the overall experience. I just wish it was longer and am looking forward to a director's cut with deleted scenes
