The best thing about the new Sorcerer's Apprentice was the leather coat that Nicholas Cage wore. It was classy.
One of the reviews I read for The Sorcerer's Apprentice finished its review of this, mostly forgettable, movie with this statement.
I am afraid that I agree. Of course I remember the 1940 version of this story from the movie Fantasia which enthralled me as a youngster. And the cartoon characters in that film were more believable than the ones in this "modern" version. Of course I am not a fan of Nicholas Cage and found the young man playing the apprentice annoying. Roger Ebert's review is here.
But at least this movie provides two helpful services. It's a reminder of just how well the Harry Potter movies work, with their genuine sense of personality, wonder and mystery. And it's much, much better than The Last Airbender.

And for those who like such things I found out something I had not known. The movies are based on a poem by Goethe Der Zauberlehrling I will have to say that I did enjoy some of the special effects but not enough to make me recommend this film.
