The Sorcerer's Apprentice is too long, and it's ersatz magic, but at least it casts an ersatz spell.

The Sorcerer's Apprentice is a perfectly typical example of its type, professionally made and competently acted.
While Mr. Molina and Mr. Cage supply a measure of well-compensated eccentricity, their labors ultimately serve to emphasize the grinding mediocrity of the enterprise.
The magic here feels machine-made and depressingly state-of-the-art.
"Apprentice" lurches from one been-there-done-that sequence to another.
The movie is a clunky, noisy contraption. Director Jon Turteltaub piles on gadgets and devices in the hopes we'll be dazzled enough to miss the story's lack of coherence and charm.
