3/10
Inconsistent with the series; ignore it. (Spoilers: wishmaster 1-4)

Ok, if you're going to make a Wishmaster movie, then you should probably try to be consistent with the other three. First of all, you knew this movie would be low-B grade when it opened with a soft-core porn scene. Second, every other woman who woke the Djinn was connected to him mentally..but not this one. Why not? And if the Djinn knows his waker doesn't know he's a genie, why doesn't he just ask 3 simple things? "Do you want some water?" "do you wish it were friday already?" etc. Why did the Djinn bother acting like her lawyer in the first place? Why the sudden need to pretend he's not a Djinn?

Speaking of the Djinn, Mr. Novac needs to watch less WWF. I could've sworn it was Hulk Hogan playing the Djinn in some scenes. It made me miss Andrew Divoff's aloof, inhumane Djinn. And where the hell did "the hunter" come from? Why is this the first time we see him? And what good is he if he only comes after the 3 wishes have been made?

If you were to watch this movie totally apart from the rest of the series, it might be tolerable, but even so, it's not great. 4/10
