Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Onlinewsma Absolutely Brilliant!

Gutsycurene Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

Tymon Sutton The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

yohancardinal Alright, I watched the first and second Wishmaster and I enjoyed both movies.Let's be honest, those are not great movies, and technically not good, but enjoyable: cheesy on many levels, stereotypical of b-series horror movies with a dash of comedy, on the wholesome, enjoyable, not good.But this pile of... well, brown matter that would definitely attract dung beetles and flies galore was just awful...The problem of many B-series as of late, say for the past 20 years, is the obvious influence that Buffy or Charmed had on some directors or writers, drowning the horror-comedy aspect (why did you have to go with that angel OR THOSE VOICES FOR THE TWO ADVERSARIES or that stupid sword fight), which is bad, m'kayyyyy. Second, changing the make-up and look of the Djinn, making it look... Faker then the two previous movies, how is that even possible. Not to mention how they try to make the story seem serious which is *buzzer sound* NOPE, THIS IS NOT THE WAY, that's a huge buzz-kill. It's a B-movie, it's supposed to be slightly ridicule, cheesy and hardly believable which is then redeemed by the villain, him killing his audience with cracks, literally and main protagonist. But trying to turn it into something to be taken seriously, character wise and story wise in a bad setting, is baaaad, m'kay?! Especially when there's bad directing, bad acting, low budget and bad effects/make-up: If it's not cheesy, it's even lower then porn.It felt like watching Hellraiser Hellworld or that other one: Revelations. In fact, here's another thing that really ticks me off, WHY THE HELL (see what I did there? hell, *chuckles*) MUST IT BE A FREAKING FEMALE PROTAGONIST IN ALL THESE HORROR TITLES, WHYYYY!?! AND THE BAD ACTING DRAMATIC WHINY WINONA RYDER TYPE WITH LESS EMOTION!? Why a high school, a college, teenagers or a suburb, why not in freaking SPACE or in Las Vegas or even Rome!? Anyways, I could go on explaining how this movie goes wrong so many times in so many ways, I'll just say this, if you enjoyed the movie, good on you, I don't know how you do it. If you want to spare yourself the torture of watching this or the fast-forward-fest, skipping through all the bad only the get... well, not even a scrap of good, don't watch, go watch the first and/or second one then skip on that one, HECK, after seeing the fourth which I won't bother to write a critic about, just walk straight on by and avoid both the turd (see what I did there, 3rd, turd... anyways) and the fourth. Spare yourself, run for your life.

GL84 After finding a sacred jewel, a troubled college student learns she has unleashed a powerful Djinn who begins to terrorize her friends around campus to get her to free other enslaved beings like him and forces her to stop him.This turned out to be quite a decent if slightly flawed effort. One of the better aspects here is the fact that, despite the rather limited amount of action here this one still manages to remain pretty interesting throughout here by keeping up a solid, workable pace that keeps things moving along. The discovery is made quite early on and it's a short time after when the true threat of his deceiving is revealed which makes his threat somewhat constant around them so that keeps the first half going pretty smoothly with the different displays of his possession on both her friends and students which makes these quite fun with all the temptations to his new identity going over their heads. Those play into the fact that the second half is built a lot more on the chase established from these scenes as the race to her him under control and stop tormenting her friends, and the action scenes here which includes the church ambush with its resulting spiritually-charged battle, the battle in the dorms and finally the big car chase which all plays together into some fun times throughout here. These here do manage to help this out and overcome its flaws but there are still a few prominent ones here. The most notable one here is the fact that there's so little interest in the threat generated here despite the fact that the creature is trying to overthrow the world yet it never really gives that off in how relaxed they are towards his taunting behavior towards them and how long the whole thing takes to sink in for the group to believe. It may actually have gone over better if the Djinn had any real motivating factor here, as all he does is go after the friends when he has a connection with her and could find her immediately so playing around how lamely he does here just doesn't come off well. The last area here that's quite weak is the finale, which is way too abrupt and doesn't really resolve any of the story lines featured, even her back- story that wit was setting up from the start. Otherwise, there's not a whole lot really wrong here and it's much better than expected.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Language, Brief Nudity, and a brief sex scene.

atinder ,,,,,,,,,,, compared to the other last two movie in the series. I found the plot in this, way to silly even for the Wishmaster series and they tame down on the gore as well.I love gory kills in the first two movie, that what makes these movies more fun, that is another reason, why I didn't like it.As it was not fun to watch at all, like the other in the series. I hated the effect and that there new actor playing The Djinn, I just could not get used to him playing this role. he nothing compared to NathanielDemerest who fitted the role perfectly.The acting in this movie was not too bad, better then I expected to be. Also hated the ending of this what really poor way to end. 3 out of 10 (That 3 Points are for the acting)

SnakesOnAnAfricanPlain Divoff is out and our new Djinn loses his charisma, sense of humor, and imagination. You felt as though Divoff's Djinn could come up with the weirdest deaths, these ones are pretty basic. One man asks for the two women he most desires to love him. They end up just scratching him to death. It confused me. One great opportunity has a guy say "Blow me!" We all know what our previous Djinn would have done. Here however Djinn takes into consideration budgetary concerns and how much effort will have to be put into the effect. At least this time the protagonist is more likable, but we don't see these films for the leading lady. It's similar, run of the mill stuff, but less gory and less fun.
