Cage and Molina make magic happen, until it all goes POOF!! in the 2nd half, Bruckheimer formula blows again; C-
Seriously? This is what two Oscar worthy actors can offer? Cage and Molina would have been an awesome hero and villain combo, but the darn kid and his ridiculous girlfriend plot keep getting in the way. Not to mention that Monica the magnificent is barely in the film at all.
Mid way through it is obvious that we are following the Bruckheimer formula of connect the dots summer movie "magic". Change location, stage mini action sequence, change location, have pathetic romantic sub plot, change location, insert silly animal antics, change location, insert car chase (really? they are frickin' sorcerers!! why the h3## are they DRIVING around??!?!!).
If you want to waste your money, go ahead. They DID spend some on the F/X, but nothing new to see here. In fact, spend your money on seeing something else you liked a second time. You'll be thankful.
