Excellent but underrated film
A brilliant film that helped define a genre
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Now I seen this movie , I said to my self, It's can not be jas bad as the last one and boy was I wrong, as it felt more of the same.I saw this back to back with 3rd movie yesterday, I Could not believe what I was watching .The plot was just unbelievable rubbish and this whole Angle thing was, just , I have no words for that.The movie was filled with silly fight scenes, that last way too long and are very predicable.One thing I did like was that there were some good bloody scenes. I didn't think Michael Trucco was decent in this role again the acting in this movie was not too bad.I thought it's was okay but I think they should have had better ending to the series overall.I am going give this 3 out of 10
Finally hitting the lowest level of Direct to Video Hell, the Wishmaster is consigned to this awful mess where at someone said, 'Meh, they'll still rent it, even if it's crap." The notion is that after finding a Djinn Gem in even a cheaper box than the first three movies, (props cost money, kids!) the Djinn takes over the body of a lawyer who tries to seduce one of his clients, the typical hot babe who always ends up freeing the Wishmaster in movies like this.The Wishmaster then proceeds to kill off everyone in her life by getting them to make foolish wishes. Apparently the "I need 1001 souls to power the gem" rule from the second movie no longer applies.The movie also contains a disjointed narrative where a "Hunter" is released from a statue if the third wish is made. But in this case, the third wish made is unfulfillable, so you have a paradox they shove bad car chases and action scenes into as filler.I really hate the "hunter" character, because first, he kills innocent bystanders as well, and second, in the climatic fight, he turns into kind of a big wimp.The best thing to be said about this movie? It was the last one in the series.
Since the third wish is never granted, or the Djinn dies before, I thought that this would be awesome because we finally get to see what happens when the prophecy is fulfilled. But I was so wrong. The prophecy wasn't even fulfilled, so the title is pretty much wrong.Out of 90 minutes, this has about 15 of unnecessary sex scenes which don't really add anything to the story. Not that I hated it, but it just wasn't needed and the time could've been spent on the story, like the Hunter thing, which I had no idea from where and why he came.Another bad thing was the special effects. They were just awful. I mean, this movie was made 4-5 years ago and it was like watching an 80s horror flick. Nightmare on Elm Street had better special effects than this load of rubbish.Just stay away from this horrible movie. If you were unlucky enough to waste money on renting the third, don't make an even worse mistake.
When i rented the first Wishmaster when it arrived here in Sweden in '97, i thought it was a masterpiece and a new horror character was born: Andrew Divoff as The Djinn. around 2 years later i saw (at the same store) Wishmaster 2: Evil Never Dies and i thought YES and it starred Divoff again. but it was a bit disappointing - it wasn't as good as the first movie (how many sequels are?..) but Divoff was brilliant as always but the script was a little boring and it was almost the same story as the first one. about 2 years later i heard about a third one and i thought wow - it's gonna to be a trilogy..! and i hoped Divoff returned as the Djinn..but no, Divoff was replaced by John Novak and the third movie was not as bad as i thought it would be, Jason Connery (Sean Connery's son) saved the movie but Novak wasn't so bad at all either. then i heard about a fourth movie (was it going to be a big series ??) and i couldn't wait but sadly it never came to Sweden for rental so i purchased the UK release of the DVD and last summer i watched it and it was a big big disappointment...well the script was really bad (why name a movie the prophecy fulfilled when it wasn't ??..stupid) the biggest disappointment were that Divoff didn't return for this one either (maybe a great choice 'cause the script sucked). i hope Chris Angel won't be directing more Wishmaster, because he have nearly destroyed the Wishmaster series - the third was OK but no more, the fourth was awful really awful. Well if their is ever gonna be fifth movie bring back Divoff or do a "Wishmaster VS Wishmaster" (Divoff VS Novak). don't make the mistake i did - to buy this DVD.1/10
