After seeing the third movie, which was abominable, I didn't think it could get much worse with the fourth (and hopefully last) movie in the Wishmaster series. Unfortunately I was wrong, not only was it bad this time, but it was boring as hell too! As someone stated before, the abundant (and redundant) use of nudity (well, for American standards anyway) seems to try and cover up how bad this movie really is. I found it to be more enjoyable to read some of the other comments about this movie. The comments from the person who actually thinks there's a deeper meaning to this movie and was happily surprised to see the 'softer' side of the Djinn really made my day.
If you enjoy watching a plethora of fake fire effects, this is your movie, if not, don't even bother.

There are so many things wrong with this film it's hard to even begin. The first two Wishmaster films were quite good, the third was sub-par, but still not terrible. I was thinking maybe there was hope that this one would be somewhere online with the first two films. Was i ever wrong, this one is truly pathetic even as far as sequels go. The first scene is a graphic sex scene, and then they play some MTV "Happy Song" ... first bad move for a horror movie, trendy pop songs ruin the whole atmosphere early. The "Demon" voices of the Djinn and the Guardian (or whatever the idiot angel with the sword was) makes it laughable. I mean, they sound like childish attempts at making normal vocals into demonic vocals. In closing, the first third hour of the movie is the worst, the second third of the movie is tolerable, and the last third of the movie is just plain moronic. I'll bet Wes Craven is glad he had nothing to do with this disaster.
It seems John Novak has a better handle on being the Djinn than he did in the previous movie. Wishmaster III was horrible, so I had serious reservations on watching this one. However, it wasn't too bad. Not as good as the first two (Andrew Divoff was amazing), but I quite enjoyed this one. The heroine is nice eye candy and the dialogue isn't too hammy. Even a Djinn can find love!
I didn't have too many expectations about this movie, having just recently seen Wishmaster 3. I just found out that the original Wishmaster was a Wes Craven flick, that was likely better this sequel, but I haven't seen it yet, nor have I seen Wishmaster 2. They probably would've ruined me for this one, but since I'm likely starting at the bottom of the barrel I can't complain. I loved this one, and Wishmaster 3. No, not really all that scary, either of them. But good fun, I found myself laughing thoughout much of it. Treat it as a comedy, you'll enjoy it more.
I loved some of the ideas they brought in to this sequel. The evil djinn is actually a bit of a good guy in some cases here. He has to actually win the heart of a girl in the old fashioned way: flowers, candy, and sex. And on top of it all, he must protect his love from being murdered by the equally evil agent of heaven. You can't tell who's a good guy and who's bad sometimes. Interesting twist on the good vs. evil plot -- I liked it.

This film essentially begins with an attractive woman by the name of "Lisa" (Tara Spencer-Nairn) voluntarily taking care of her boyfriend "Sam" (Jason Thompson) after he suffers from a motorcycle accident which has left him paralyzed from the waist down. To that effect, it's during this time that a mutual friend named "Steven Verdel" (Michael Trucco) agrees to lend his services as their attorney and files a civil lawsuit on their behalf. As time goes on, Steven gradually falls in love with her which ultimately leads to him giving her a gift that he had purchased a little while earlier. What he doesn't realize, however, is that the gift just happened to have the jewel which contains the essence of an evil "Djinn" (played by both John Novak and Michael Trucco) who is somehow brought back to life once Sam puts the jewel in his office safe. Quite frankly, I'm not sure how this action served as a catalyst, but once revived, the evil djinn quickly goes about seeking to fulfill three wishes from Lisa which will usher in Armageddon upon the entire world. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just that, unlike the first three movies in this series in which the Djinn desperately tries to obtain the third wish from his main victim, he actually accomplishes his primary objective in this one. An interesting step forward, in my opinion. Unfortunately, the special effects were clearly inadequate when other supernatural creatures were introduced, and things went downhill fast from that point. That being said, although this film wasn't quite as bad as its immediate predecessor, it still wasn't nearly as good as it could have been, and I have rated it accordingly. Slightly above average.

- Patzer(at around 23 mins) The character who pulls his own tongue out, cuts off his own nose and then shoots himself quite clearly still has a full nose just before pulling the trigger.
