Alicia I love this movie so much

Evengyny Thanks for the memories!

Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

sam-102 I love this movie. it is quite underrated in a number of ways. Sure, the overall plot and subject matter is rather silly,this is definitely not Saving Private Ryan or Schindler's List; but for what it is, this movie offers a lot of subtle surprises. By far, Divoff's performance drives this movie, and as somebody who has admittedly watched this about 30 times, the subtleties he brings to the role are quite underrated and absolutely hilarious. He's the perfect combination of good-natured evil, unintentionally creepy,but yet subtly hilarious and in many ways innocent. His facial expressions and growling noises are always perfectly timed and ridiculously funny. The acting in general might be goofy at times, but in many cases quite good...in a way, they are aware that the film is kind of silly, but within that they take that silliness seriously and it shows.This movie deserves to be a cult classic, but in a positive light (not in a so-bad- its-good sense); it's acceptance of its own silliness and Divoff's skillful and hilarious performance make it so much fun.

gavin6942 The Djinn breaks free of his prison inside the Ahura Mazda statue during a burglary resulting in a shoot-out. He confesses to the burglary and murder, despite obviously being innocent. Why? Because inside the prison walls, plenty of men have desires just waiting to be fulfilled...This film picks up exactly where the first left off, with Andrew Divoff reprising his role as the Djinn. The gore effects seem slightly nastier here, at times appearing almost like something from a Cronenberg film.It was written and directed by Jack Sholder, probably best known for directing "A Nightmare on Elm Street 2" in 1985 (14 years prior). I hate to say it, but in many ways this film exceeds Robert Kurtzman's original vision.Of course, some liberties are taken with when the Djinn can use his powers, but I suppose that is not new. And after Andrew Divoff left the series, I don't even know why they kept making sequels.

pedro-amaral-couto I watched the first movie and I watched this sequel movie yesterday. Of course, an excuse was needed to free the Wishmaster again... what were the chances to free him again? Anyway, I was expecting to find many creative gory scenes. One was cool and another one was funny... but in general, it was a huge disappointment. The first movies seems to show more of those. At least they were better. The first wish was an obvious contradiction if it was taken literally (that was supposed to be the fun of the accomplishment of the wishes: they were taken too literally). It reminds me the disappointment when I watched the second Elm Street Nightmare...There were many limitations I don't remember to find on the first movie. For instance, the djinn now has to collect 1001 souls before the last 3 wishes. Since there isn't a good creative story, the writer just made up that excuse to fill the gap between the preamble and the "final fight". More of those when the main character starts to make some wishes, although one of them is understandable.The God, Devil, priest and Christian values don't mix well with the story, based, supposedly, on Babylonia or Persian beliefs. Is it a mockery of Christians? The djinn just looks like a pervert with that silly smile. I don't know when he's mocking or doing something else. Bad acting, bad story, bad movie.

Lucien Lessard When an evil genie (Andrew Divoff) breaks free from the high-priced art. If anyone wants to make a wish from this genie for a price. He wants your soul and sometimes these wishes could backfire. This time, he needs thousands of souls to unleash eternal darkness upon the world. The woman (Holly Fields), who accidentally broke him free. She's the only one that could stop him, if she could outsmart this wish-master.Written and Directed by Jack Sholder (A Nightmare on Elm Street 2:Freddy's Revenge, Alone in the Dark, The Hidden) made an entertaining sequel with plenty of cheap thrills and offers some humour. Mostly this sequel is nothing more but dumb fun. Divoff seems to be having a ball in the lead. Only towards the end, the film's conclusion is unsatisfying and fun stops. Still, it is enjoyable B-Movie time waster. (*** 1/2 out of *****).
