Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Alright, I watched the first and second Wishmaster and I enjoyed both movies.Let's be honest, those are not great movies, and technically not good, but enjoyable: cheesy on many levels, stereotypical of b-series horror movies with a dash of comedy, on the wholesome, enjoyable, not good.But this pile of... well, brown matter that would definitely attract dung beetles and flies galore was just awful...The problem of many B-series as of late, say for the past 20 years, is the obvious influence that Buffy or Charmed had on some directors or writers, drowning the horror-comedy aspect (why did you have to go with that angel OR THOSE VOICES FOR THE TWO ADVERSARIES or that stupid sword fight), which is bad, m'kayyyyy. Second, changing the make-up and look of the Djinn, making it look... Faker then the two previous movies, how is that even possible. Not to mention how they try to make the story seem serious which is *buzzer sound* NOPE, THIS IS NOT THE WAY, that's a huge buzz-kill. It's a B-movie, it's supposed to be slightly ridicule, cheesy and hardly believable which is then redeemed by the villain, him killing his audience with cracks, literally and main protagonist. But trying to turn it into something to be taken seriously, character wise and story wise in a bad setting, is baaaad, m'kay?! Especially when there's bad directing, bad acting, low budget and bad effects/make-up: If it's not cheesy, it's even lower then porn.It felt like watching Hellraiser Hellworld or that other one: Revelations. In fact, here's another thing that really ticks me off, WHY THE HELL (see what I did there? hell, *chuckles*) MUST IT BE A FREAKING FEMALE PROTAGONIST IN ALL THESE HORROR TITLES, WHYYYY!?! AND THE BAD ACTING DRAMATIC WHINY WINONA RYDER TYPE WITH LESS EMOTION!? Why a high school, a college, teenagers or a suburb, why not in freaking SPACE or in Las Vegas or even Rome!? Anyways, I could go on explaining how this movie goes wrong so many times in so many ways, I'll just say this, if you enjoyed the movie, good on you, I don't know how you do it. If you want to spare yourself the torture of watching this or the fast-forward-fest, skipping through all the bad only the get... well, not even a scrap of good, don't watch, go watch the first and/or second one then skip on that one, HECK, after seeing the fourth which I won't bother to write a critic about, just walk straight on by and avoid both the turd (see what I did there, 3rd, turd... anyways) and the fourth. Spare yourself, run for your life.

Divoff is out and our new Djinn loses his charisma, sense of humor, and imagination. You felt as though Divoff's Djinn could come up with the weirdest deaths, these ones are pretty basic. One man asks for the two women he most desires to love him. They end up just scratching him to death. It confused me. One great opportunity has a guy say "Blow me!" We all know what our previous Djinn would have done. Here however Djinn takes into consideration budgetary concerns and how much effort will have to be put into the effect. At least this time the protagonist is more likable, but we don't see these films for the leading lady. It's similar, run of the mill stuff, but less gory and less fun.

I haven't reviewed a film in quite some time, but this one made me come back.I had enjoyed the first two instalments of the series, so I was of course curious about this one. It was a huge disappointment. I will briefly list why: this new djinn is lame and Jason Connery is no Andrew Divoff.gore is kept to minimum (it seems almost like this was made for TV, not DVD) supporting cast is dull and plain almost no special effects every single one gives a totally lacklustre performance but worst of all, the main character, A.J.Cook, is THE MOST ANNOYING PERSON EVER!!! She acts like she's 5 years old, she keeps whining and doesn't give a crap that her friends are dying one by one. Horrible, horrible person.This film is a major let-down. Absolutely NOT recommended.

The film was shaky, the script trite and monotonous, everything seemed quite low-budget, and obviously. But, the actors did their best with what they had to work with, so I give the film credit for that. The Wishmaster series isn't one of my favorite, but I enjoy watching it from time to time, and you just can't get through the whole thing without the third part (not storyline-wise, because then this statement would be a lie, as the Wishmaster series is pretty much a repetition of a story, but with each story somewhat varied from the last). That plus the rather colorful scenes make the movie, in my opinion, a 4. I wouldn't go out and buy it, but it's definitely watch-worthy if it happens to be on SciFi randomly. I like Angel's directing, but the movie was low budget, and a little too obvious.
