Summary: OH,YEAH,OKAY,SURE?
Review: A cast of 10, a collage campus you can use during spring break.
The only creativity in this picture was when someone found the Djinn's costume in an old wardrobe department.
After this I refuse to see the fourth one,lmao!!

Never paid attention to the fact that the Djinn neded 1000 souls first.

But what the hell, had a couple real taste bud babes in it, and that is all you really need for a great movie, right?.....

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: I expected more...
Review: Actually I would like to give this movie 3, 5 instead of a three but there is no such option so I went with a three. Anyway this movie was the worst one of them all, not that it was a total disaster but it lacked many ingredients. For one thing Andrew Divoff, the actor who played the djinn in the previous two wasn't in it and the film seemed to be a very small production, i mean the hole movie takes place at a collage campus so there is no really interaction with people from the outside. And the really cheesy part about the movie is that the hole 1001 souls thing seemed to totaly irrelevant,
and I feel that i must also complain about the low number of deaths that takes place in the movie. The only surprising part about it was the speciall effects that were better then I anticipated before seeing this movie.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not the same!
Review: Did not keep the original wishmaster so the move fell short of its goal. To bad the budget was not large enough to get the real wishmaster. It is worth watching, but not to buy the movie. Rent it if you can find it.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Where's Andrew Divoff?!?
Review: 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Andrew Divoff, the incredible actor who played the Djinn and his human alter ego, Demerest, in the first two films has been replaced by an utterly dreadful actor who plays the part as if he's in a kiddie's production of "The Ghost of Canterville Hall."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!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Good movie.
Review: I have the first two and liked them. I hope this one is good.
I can't wait until they make the fourth one.

Summary: Mindless Drivel
Review: I love horror films when they are well done, but Wishmaster 3 doesn't come close. The storyline is run-of-the-mill; essentially a weak excuse for a monster to kill a lot of people until he's finally done in himself in the final minutes of the film. OH, sorry, I gave it away!

So if the plot stinks, the draw's gotta be either the acting (it isn't!), fabulous babes (not particularly), or most likely, the special effects. And these are just downright laughable. Anyone with the most rudamentary knowledge of how these things are done can tell immediately; but more importantly, nothing looks remotely real. When the Wishmaster, in his earthly form (which he dons most of the time so we're even cheated of seeing much of the Djinn!) is struck by a car and re-animates, the viewer can only giggle at how obvious and poorly done it is. And camerawork plays to this, too; cutting away suddenly when the tricky special effects should be used--such as when the Wishmaster regenerates his amputated hand from a glob of unconvincing red latex and goo to the actor's hand--no transition at all, but instead a camera cutaway and presto, it's a hand again.

Spare me, spare yourselves, make your wish to avoid this inane movie...

Summary: Very bad and stupid movie
Review: I loved wishmaster 1 and 2, they are my all time favorite horror movies. this movie isnt a thing like the first 2. It is a discrace to the series. it was a low budget film so all the effects are cheesy, the djinn looks different (bad costume). a different actor plays the djinn (very bad actor). the dialoge of the movie is bad as well. remember how the stone was in a statue in 1 and 2? well now its mysteriously in a stupid puzzle box, the djinn throws people around and acts like an idiot. he has powers even if hes not wished to do so. there is pointless nudity in it common to cheap horror flicks. its just an all around BAD BAD BAD movie, nothing like one and two. I rented this movie, if I had bought it i'd return it or burn it. never watch this movie if you liked one and two, it will only disapoint you.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Why does this movie suck?
Review: I own the first 2 Wishmaster films and they are supremely excellent. I got this one, 'cause I figured "What the hell?". How wrong I was. This movie was about as interesting as root canal. Whoever that guy was playing the Djinn should've read up about the character more. I agree with a previous review...give Andrew Divoff what he wants so that he'll make this Wishmaster entry a good one. Or at least a decent one. From what I've seen of Wishmaster 4, it seems as though it might be a bad one as well. Hopefully for Wishmaster 5, Divoff will return for one last Djinn movie. We can all hope, right?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best In The Series
Review: I rented this movie with high expectations but was kinda let down. The first let down was the guy who played the djinn in the first two wasnt in it the secon big let down was that the ending was way to fast cut but on the other hand this is the best movie in the series. The plot is is great and so are the special effects. The basic plot of the movie is a proffessor at a college recieves a package from the museum. One of his students opens it and inside is a stone pillar she pushes a button and the top opens and the stone from part 1 and 1 is in it. A little later the proffessor get upset and makes a wish while holding the stone and releases the djinn. After the proffesor gets his wish the djinn takes on his form and just like in the other movies tries to get 3 wishes from the person who released him (but the person he tries to get the wishes from isnt who released him why?). If your looking for a good movie to watch this one is definatly a good way to spend a few hours.
