Title: The Sorcerer's Apprentice Year Of Release: 2010 Review Date: January 31, 2011 Rating: PG-13 Running time: 109 minutes Box
Office Gross: "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" starring Nicholas Cage, is an
unoriginal movie that tried to capitalize on the "Harry Potter" film
franchise. It also contained elements of other preexisting works. It revolves
around a middle aged sorcerer named, Balthazar Blake, played by Cage, that takes
on a Harry Potter-esque apprentice, Dave Stutler. They go through a series of
corny magical tests, until they discover he is the one who is fit to be the next
Merlin (*yawn*). The funny thing is the studio spent a lot of money on this film and it bombed
domestically. Worldwide sales brought up the tally, but for a film that cost
$150,000,000 to make, plus $30,000,000 in promotional costs, it barely turned a
profit for all that expenditure. Cage has released a string of unoriginal flops
that cost him dearly. At the rate he is going, it shall costs him even more -
his career and bank account.
