GurlyIamBeach Instant Favorite.
Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
Michael_Elliott Wishmaster 2 (1999) ** (out of 4)Morgana (Holly Fields) and a couple friends are robbing an antique location when they accidentally let loose the Djinn (Andrew Divoff). Pretty soon Morgana is trying to figure out exactly what she's done and hopefully stop the Djinn before he can collect a thousand souls.WISHMASTER is best remembered today because of how many horror icons it featured. It wasn't the greatest movie ever made but it was a slightly entertaining horror picture that had some terrific actors as well as some great gore scenes. As was the case with many horror films, the direct-to-video market is where the sequels would end up.WISHMASTER 2 certainly isn't a great movie but for the most part I found it to be slightly entertaining. I think the movie starts off pretty good and especially the scenes where the Djinn goes to jail and then prison. I actually thought these scenes were fairly funny and especially one brutally gory scene where an inmate makes the wrong decision and tries to go after the Djinn. The scenes inside the prison were funny just because of Divoff's performance in his human form going against your typical prison thugs.The one thing this film is really lacking are the gore scenes. Outside of one in the jail cell, the gore effects aren't very memorable and some of the CGI effects look really bad. For the most part both Fields and Divoff are entertaining in their roles and they're at least good enough to help keep you entertained in what's going on.WISHMASTER 2 eventually runs out of gas around the hour mark and it limps to the conclusion. The film certainly runs a tad bit too long and there's just nothing new or fresh done with the material. Still, for a direct-to-video sequel, it's not too bad and provides a little entertainment.
LouZephyr If you're a fan of the 1st movie, then you have to see this one, since it's the best wishmaster sequel you can get. Andrew Divoff is such a joy to watch, he delivers his lines perfectly and he really lives his role. Sure it has stupid plot holes and it has it's goofy moments, also the effects are not the best, but that doesn't make it a bad movie.I just hate the other "good" main characters, i only got my fun out of watching "the wishmaster" doing his magical wonders and his eloquent speaking.If you like a movie with a charismatic bad guy and if you enjoyed the 1st movie, then i would definitely say "give it a watch!", since it's the last time you see Andrew Divoff performing as the master of wishes.5 Stars -> average horror movie + 1 Star : if you're a fan of the first "Wishmaster" + 1 Star : for Divoff's awesome performancejust skip Wishmaster 3 and 4, even as a fan of the series i wouldn't recommend these.
atinder This is yet another Re-watch, ,I have seen this movie 3 times now, as I saw this before seeing the original.I really loved this movie, I found it to be a lot of fun but not as fun as the Original.This as some really nice gory deaths, which I really liked, effect are so fun to watch and some were just playing weird, even for the Wishmaster series. Andrew Divoff is outstanding playing the Wishmaster, his face just give you the creeps. The lead actress went bit over the top with some of her acting in the , some of cast were really bad in this, the most of them were decent, they could have done better. I loved the last scene in the movie, thought it's was so funny!, I didn't like some of effect near the end, I don't think it fitted well with other gory effect that worked really well with the rest of the movie. Not as good as the first but still a fun to be had in this gory sequel.6 out of 10
winner55 The original Wishmaster film was a pleasant surprise. Director Robert Kurtzman and writer Peter Atkins cleverly married very traditional old-school horror movie plotting and contemporary FX laden gore-splattering. The film benefited from a sense of humor, and had a fairly rapid pace that kept one distracted from any flaws. The direct-to-video sequel, by contrast, shows no savvy at all in it's plotting, its (very limited) use of FX, or its pacing. For most of the film, the monstrous Wishmaster is confined (in his human form) in a prison, where it takes the longest time for him to get anyone to ask for a wish. This prolonged prison scene might have been salvageable if the dialogue were witty, but it basically reduces to:Wishmaster: "I grant any wish, ask for something." Prisoner (or Guard): "F*** you!" Wishmaster: "No really, just ask."If such is your idea of snappy dialog, this movie's for you.Holly Fields is mighty pleasing to look at, but there's nothing much for her to do, so they decide to toss in some "inspirational" Christian redemption drivel into a story involving ancient Persian mythology - huh? - oh, never mind, it's not worth the effort.Andrew Divoff, who did a fine job in the first Wishmaster film, stumbles around looking for something interesting to do, can't find it, and stands around and sulks instead. We would certainly feel pity for him if we hadn't grown numb from boredom.
