I can't remember when I last experienced such a cranked up film as 'Wishmaster': Kane Hodder, Robert Englund and Tony Todd mentioned as the leading characters; this will be a blast! WROOOOOOOOONG!!! The three horror-maestros are onscreen for about 10 minutes total with Englund given most of the time. I felt cheated big time.

The bad: The story itself is exciting, and could have been great. But it's let down by a cheep script and BIG TIME lousy acting from the leading role played by Tammy Lauren. The problem is that the main story about the Djinn is cast away, and instead we get a lot of bla bla bla about everything else.

The good: The special effects is impressive, there is nothing to criticize here. These are GREAT! Another great thing is the acting of Andrew Divoff as the Djinn; he really has the 'evil look' and is actually quite funny some times. And then Robert Englund is wonderful as always, though he doesn't play the villain and doesn't have much screen… more »

Three wishes?
1. I wish for a decent script with interesting characters.
2. I wish for acting lessons to Tammy Lauren.
3. I wish the movie had been longer, so the 'Wishmaster'-universe could have been more explored.

But somehow I still enjoy watching 'Wishmaster'. The story is, as mentioned, quite exciting and the series itself has such a great potential of becoming a cult series. I hope the 'Wishmaster'-universe will be explored more in the sequels. I'm actually looking forward to watch them.
