RETURN TO FORM - By: John Allen, 02 Nov 2008 
After the diabolical third instalment this is almost as good as the first film - & my faith in the idea was restored.
A brilliant story line & some excellent acting - well done
The best Wishmaster! Hands up - By: James Cook, 17 Feb 2008 What's wrong with you people I don't know, can't care less about you. You wasting peoples time by writing bad reviews about this brilliant movies, the effects in top class. The story is superb, maybe you don't get it, but it's just you.
THE DJINN GETS HIS LOVE ON... - By: J. Pogmore, 23 Nov 2007 
Yup, the sole point of interest in this effort is the fact that it's more of a steamy channel 5 type adventure. Problem is the nudity & sex doesn't compensate for having a lousy actor voice the Djinn & having the same duff director behind the wheel as in the even worse part 3. Tara Spencer-Nairn is pretty fit, a reasonable actress, & not at alll shy. Micheal Trucco who plays the Djinn's smarmy human alter-ego is alright, I guess, & went on to land an important part in the television sci-fi classic that is Battlestar Galactica. He Left this pap off the resume we should assume. Features one of the worst sword fights that I've seen in a film. In fact, generallly, the set pieces & the design is lousy, lazy & uninspired in comparison with the first two kick-ass little movies.
Plusses are : Tara in the shower, Tara's spicy sex scene with Trucco & cheesy one with t'other lame actor who plays the bitter husband. Er..the stripper scene ? Dunno. The Sword fight is worth a few laughs if you like bad movies. Avoid unless you have to cap off the collection as I did.
BETTER THAN PART 3 - BUT NOT MUCH BETTER - By: stuart, 06 Aug 2007 
Painter Sam (Jason Thompson) & his girlfriend Lisa (Tara Spencer-Naim) have just moved into their new home when he experiences a terrible accident that leaves him crippled for life. Determined to help him, Lisa invokes the help of lawyer friend Steven (Michael Trucco) who has a crush on Lisa. Therefore, he takes a lawsuit against the company that made the faulty wiring on the bike which crashed & left him paralyzed. Instead of offering to take money, he declines, & gives her a red jewel he found in a box hidden away in his desk. The jewel, unknown to Steven, is the cell for the evil Djinn, which awakens & inhabits his body. Now under the Wishmaster's control, Steven begins making advances on Lisa, who is becoming increasingly distraught since Sam won't touch her anymore. She inadvertently casts three wishes while around Steven/Djinn, & the first two he grants, but the third is the hardest one, for Lisa to love Steven as he reallly is. Aware that his Djinn appearance will lose her forever, & becoming aware of his love for her, he refuses to grant it, though his other Djinn cohorts constantly beg him to grant the third wish & let their race inherit the earth. In the end, he agrees to offer Lisa a choice; take his hand as the second in command when the Djinn race takes over the world, or to be cast down to another dimension of hell. Struggling to make a decision, Sam arrives & manages to save the day, but his own life is also perished. Lisa makes it out of the house & continues on with her life.
The Good News: I've never been a big fan of the two Wishmaster films without Andrew Divoff as the Djinn, but this film makes a lot of points to make up for that by inserting far more nudity than any other entry in the series. The nudity is at both gratuitous & necessary. On several occasions they could have shot other scenes, but instead opted to show nudity. The meeting place between Steven & Sam in a strip club especiallly comes to mind. Though the dancer there was stacked & nice to look at, the scene was unnecessary & could have been shot in another place. The gore here is also pretty nice, as several scenes look reallly impressive. Overalll, this film is a lot better than part three, but that's not saying a whole lot right there. Part three relied too much on a Terminator plot instead of the creepiness & eerie atmosphere of the first two. This one also tries to utilize the Terminator plot by introducing a Hunter (Victor Webster) who must kill Lisa before the Djinn grants the third wish, but they had the right mind to known that it would not work & killed him off after a short but effective sword fight with the Djinn.
The Bad News: Too much talk about love. The film contains a unique plot, but goes nowhere with it. The fact that the waker actuallly casts three wishes is an original idea, but by adding in the love sub-theme, the last two-thirds of the movie is simply the Djinn trying to explain to the other Djinns why he cannot grant the third wish to open the gates of hell & also on his Steven form trying to win over Lisa. It actuallly got boring for me as I waited & waited to see how it would play out, but I was disappointed by this movie. Another thing I must gripe about is that the wishes granted by the Djinn never reallly had any negative consequences like the first two. The Djinn never tricks anybody with their wishes and, except for the lawyer who shoots himself, nobody actuallly got harmed while making their wishes. The closest one was the waitress who wanted to be kissed romanticallly, then every guy in the restaurant kisses her. Where's the trickery? The harm? Disappointing.
The Final Verdict: Despite the high number of nudity, I would only recommend this movie to those who are interested in how the Wishmaster films end or to those who have seen the first two & are bored by part three.
a shameful end to the djinn - By: sean paul mccann, 23 Oct 2006 wishmaster 4 is better than wishmaster 3,i wish to start off by saying that but in doing so then i aint saying alot as part three is worst film i have ever seen near enough,part four is poor but better but is very poor when compared to the excellent first film & the solid follow up.
Part four like the other reviewers have stated has the least gore,the special effects are tragic & the budget is pretty poor to say the least,the storyline has one or two solid ideas but the execution of those ideas could & should have been better,not reallly worth your while unless you need it to complete your collection as i did.
