"The Witcher's Apprentice": The visuals are still gorgeous and the actors are miscalculated

Looking at the bad reputation of the $150 million "Wizard's Apprentice" in North America and the lingering speed of money-making, Sajia didn't care about this film, but by chance and luck, he still entered the theater. So before we start, let's talk about the source of Sajia's impulse towards "The Witcher's Apprentice".


What would you think of if you brought out the Hollywood gold medal producers Jerry Bruckheimer and Nicolas Cage? "Breaking the Dead Island", "Prison in the Air", "60 Seconds Fast"! It can be said that in the late 1990s, Nicolas Cage's three most maddening and obsessed action masterpieces were all written by Jerry Bruckheimer. If you add the director of the film, Joe Deterdubar, do you think of the two "National Treasures" that made the twilight and starless Nicolas Cage rejuvenate the second spring of his career? Therefore, as the third cooperation of these three golden partners after the "National Treasure" series, it is difficult for "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" to not be able to get into the family's "eyes".

Gossip is too far away, let's share the cinema experience of "The Witcher's Apprentice" with your friends here.

1. Jerry Bruckheimer is absolutely not bad. You

can smell money burning even if you can't see the whole screen. Jerry Bruckheimer seems to intend to spawn a new series of cash cows, so what you think of and what you haven't had time to think about It's spectacular, he built it all with white US dollar bills, and director Joe Detduba also showed great cooperation. After all, it is rare to have such a master who is willing to spend money.



The visuals are on par with Jerry Bruckheimer's other cash-burning film this summer, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time ($200 million), so if you're just in your spare time Yu just wanted to relax and baptize his eyes. "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" is still a good choice.

Second, the performance of the actors is uneven

The one who needs to be applauded here is Alfred Molina. After reading "Prince of Persia", the aggressive and funny businessman, and then watching the rebellious magician who is humorous and gloomy, the viewer loves more than hates, and recalls the sad and paranoid Doctor Octopus in "Spider-Man 2". , Sajia can't help but sigh, a good actor is a good actor, with a dual role of sadness and joy, it is easy to lift weights. I really doubt that this old urchin is from a stage drama. His gestures and stern eyes are connected with the character's energy, and the evil and surly magician Fan Er is about to come out.



Alfred Molina's brilliance kills Nicholas Cage in seconds.


Jay Baruchel seems to be underwhelmed from beginning to end


. At the other extreme, Jay Baruchel is the "Moon" in the star lineup. Baruchel, this is perhaps the biggest misstep of the film. The family is still baffled as to why the smart Jerry Bruckheimer would throw $150 million on this skinny boy. Didn't you find out on the set that Jay Baruchel, who made his fortune in Judd Apatow's "Bad Boys", had stumped under the pressure? In retrospect, Spielberg also tested the quality of this rough jade through the remake of "Rear Window" before pushing the little-known Shia LaBeouf to the top spot of "Transformers". I don't know if Jerry Bruckheimer has regretted the ending of "The Witcher's Apprentice".

As for the script, since the "Four Eyed Boy" Harry Potter started the naive first of the magician's family, and made a lot of money, do you still expect "The Wizard's Apprentice" to have a great breakthrough?
