"If you are looking for an absolutely horrendous sequel to the Wishmaster this is it. I haven't seen the third installment of wishmaster but thought the first two with the original actor who played Wishmaster were great. I picked this sequel up figuring it was wishmaster and wouldn't be that bad...boy was I wrong. It was like a mix between Power Rangers and Japanese Anime/old-school Godzilla. Not only is the acting horrible but the story is too. What happened to the good quality old school horror that was good even if the story was horrible it was a decent movie worth seeing...the Prophecy Fullfilled is not and I will say DO NOT waste your mney...it is disappointing."

"I think one of the divine laws of filmmaking is that no theme lasts forever. Thus 'Wishmaster 1' was novel and interesting, then the producers added some sex and more special effects and created 'Wishmaster 2,'etc., etc. Of course, each step of the way, the plot becomes a bit more repetitious and diluted. I picked up 'Wishmaster 4 - The Prophecy Fulfilled' more out of curiosity than from any hope of seeing a blockbuster horror film. And for the first 30 minutes I got exactly what I expected, same old, same old....Lisa (Tara Spencer-Nairn) is the attractive operator of a lingerie shop whose marriage is about to self-destruct. Her husband Sam (Jason Thompson) is deeply embittered by a motorcycle accident that took away his ability to walk or take an active role in the marriage. Worse, the couple has been completely frustrated in their attempts to achieve a financial settlement. Their lawyer, Verdel (Michael Trucco), has been working at no charge, or they would have had to give up long ago. Verdel, however, has a strong yen for Lisa. When a broken present reveals the jewel of the Djinn, the formula is complete. In no time at all the Djinn (John Nowak) permanently borrows Verdel's face, and sets about granting Lisa's wishes. For those of you who are newcomers, fulfilling the third wish will free all the Djinn from their imprisonment and let them take over the earth. Much to my surprise, only a third of the film was gone when the old standard plot was exhausted and the I suddenly realized that I was on the verge of finding out what happens when the lady actually makes the wish number three. Not satisfied with just one new plot twist, Director Chris Angel pulls a few more out of his hat to rescue a film that initially seemed utterly unremarkable. Not that this would ever set any box office records, but it has its moments. And excitement junkies will be glad to know that it earns its R rating. After four times at bat, actor John Novak has his part down pat, and the others are competent if uninspired. So if you are looking for something light to have with the popcorn, this might be just what you wished for."
Ah, to be a Djinn in love

"The first two Wishmasters were excellent horror movies. I bought part 3 but have to get it. I got this movie before the third, so I watched it right away. The speical effects are good, gore is decent but still good, but the story sucks. It kind of reminded me of Highlander with the sword fighting and then giving the Djinn humour wasnt a good idea. Still enjoyable to watch. The speical features are pretty cool on the dvd. The even have a Q and A with the Djinn about dating. Yea, I dont know what to say about it. I highly enjoy the Wishmaster series. I wonder why it never caught on with an audience. Hope for a fifth, although its been a few years."

"Wishmaster 4 the prophecy fulfilled is a great movie.It is a superb horror flick that is exciting,entertaining and captures your interest and imagination from beginning to end.It is the best in the Wishmaster series.Better than the first Wishmaster,or the second one Evil never dies and the third one Beyond the gates of hell.They really made this one a good film.I don`t think they can make wishmaster 5 top this.The wishmaster
seqeuls aren`t dissappointing,they consistently turn out amazing,brilliant
and original films.Highlander seqeuls are terrible and depressing so is Batman returns and The Dark Knight.This film may realistically portray demons and the demonic realm and the hellish underworld.I wish screenwriters would turn Bill Wiese book "23 minutes in hell" into a movie."
Truly The Death Of A Would Be Great Series

"The first 'Wishmaster' I can say that I fully enjoyed, maybe even loved it, same goes for the secoond installment. But 'Wishmaster 4: The Prophecy Fulfilled' goes along with its predicesor 'Beyond the Gates of Hell'. The terrible acting, the changing of the demon's color and character, the laughable new storylines, and the bulls hit way to end the "terror". A lot of horror movies with the previous descriptions are watchable and semi comedic, but this movie was just painful. There is now way that this once great series could die like this. To add to all of the gripes, the ending itself makes no sense and is not worth sitting through the hour and a half of this movie... Avoid this film at all cost, the tact that the first two contained are now completely gone..."
