Glorious Tragedy
Just came to post about this, actually.
We went and saw it last night with very low expectations and in all honesty, it's one of the best movies we've seen all year. The trailer makes it look really stupid but turned out to be phenomenally done. Nicolas Cage does a great job with it.

I don't make a point of reading reviews of movies, as I never like the ones the "official" reviewer likes. But this one paints a very negitive review of the movie but in the ned gives a B+?
Review: 'The Sorcerer's Apprentice' - CNN.com
If you write an article 5 paragraphs long, and write two sentences of positive, that is not a B+. If you purposefully distorted the negitives to
turn people off of a fairly good movie(B+), then that is wrong.
Of course, now I am confused. I usually like the opposite of the reviewers favorites. So if I go by the text, I should see it. If I go by the rating I should avoid it.
I will probably see it. I am still on record as to disliking all professional reviewers, and their opinions of movies. Most of the time, reviewers A+ movies are the worst ever, imho.

It's true, when reviewers give high scores, the movie is usually horrible for the viewer to watch and enjoy. I never understood that but I think it has a lot to do with pretentiousness.
We just went with our gut instinct on this one and really really enjoyed it. Will be buying the dvd when it comes out for sure.

Just saw it. Good movie. The ladies in the theater liked Nicholas Cage and the leading ladies on screen were easy on my eyes. Acting was good. Special effects were amazing as to be expected. The story was entertaining too. Go see it.
It is about magic so if you boycotted Harry Potter on moral grounds you better not go see this one either, but if you don't see it you will miss out.

Thought it was good. A fun movie where you don't have to think much, enjoyable and well-paced, loved Nicholas Cage in it, the special effects were amazing, there were some funny lines. Orientated mainly toward kids but adults can still get into the storyline.

It was kind of interesting... wasn't *impressed* by it. Maybe Inception set my expectations too high. It wasn't horrible though.

I may be able to find you one. As long as you don't mind supervising brooms carrying buckets of water. Just watch out for the hippos dancing with crocs in the next room over.
