Much better than the awful third outing. Wishmaster 4 does have a lot going for it, even though it doesn't have the means to execute all of its ideas. Wishmaster 4 sees the third wish get made, but it's a wish that causes conflict within the Djinn. A woman wishes to love him for who he is, which contradicts the whole of a wish. This is an interesting set-up and it also brings around other Djinn waiting to be released, causing even more conflict. One of the main characters happens to be a whiny cripple. One the kind that I'm sure mostly exist in films. It's an annoying character and hurts the romance stuff that's going on. The action isn't particularly well shot, which is a shame since we have some Djinn hunter and a sword fight or two. The gore is pretty nasty at times, so overall, this is the same old dumb fun.
