I Burned this one!, January 14, 2002
This was THE worst movie I have ever seen. I love Wishmaster 1&2 but this was horrible! It didn't even have Andrew Divoff (the djinn) in the movie. It didn't follow the Wishmaster rules. Like he would force people to make wishes rather than trick them into selling their soul. After the movie I was so depressed that I had spent any money on that movie, that I burned the movie in a burn barrel rather than ever even look at that movie again!
Take my advise, if you MUST see it, RENT IT. FOR GOD SAKE DON'T BUY IT!

Where's Andrew Divoff?!?, November 12, 2001
Don't take that 1 star rating lightly. This is my first 1-star review. The first Wishmaster was great, the second was fair, and the third was awful.
Andrew Divoff, the incredible actor who played the Djinn and his human alter ego, Demerest, in the first two films has been replaced by an utterly dreadful actor who plays the part as if he's in a kiddie's production of "The Ghost of Canterville Hall." As for the human alter ego, a professor at a University, he is far too physical for the part. The Djinn is supposed to attack mentally with the mind, not throwing people at walls.
The story of this film concerns a college student named Diana Collins who unwittingly awakes the Djinn when looking over an ancient artifact. The Djinn kills a perverse college professor and takes on his identity to get to Diana. He then goes around the university, picking off students one by one on his quest for Diana. Sounds entertaining? It's not. The twisted wishes have none of the ghoulish irony that the original's wishes had and are no fun at all. I mean, c'mon! Think about how much material you have here! A thousand-year-old genie at a modern day university? What's happening to our screenwriters?
I wasted 5 bucks and 90 minutes of my life when I rented this movie, and I think the morons who threw together this awful movie should give me a refund!

Djinn really better than mustard? ...NOT, October 9, 2005
The evil "Djinn"...HAA!!! not even if not laughable to the tilt. Where did they get the outfits during that battle in the park. I mean it looks like one of the ninja turtle villiens but much much weaker. OMG that fight was so bad it wasn't even funny...were talking about slow motion swings that i could avoid those moves by not even trying. I do admit that if you like gushing blood....there is plenty here to see.
I hope the original is better then this installment but i have no plans of watching it after this pile of evi(less). You might want to watch it to complete the trilogy if you enjoy the first ones. This movie is just so lame from beginning to end....didn't scare me one bit. Bad direction to boot.
