They put neither the thought, nor the financing, behind this installment as they did the first, but it is still a moderately entertaining endeavor. They cut back on both the creativity and on the execution of what creativity they did exhibit.
In this installment of the series, the Djinn effects are not nearly as good as they were. They went for a new look, and for me, it just did not work. The story was not as well written and not as well enacted as the first. I found it marginally enjoyable, regardless of the apparent lack in quality effects, and also find it to be a decent sequel. But only that. At least they did bring back Michael Divoff as the Djinn.
Honestly, this was a bit of a disappointment. The first installment was not Oscar worthy material, but it did entertain. I found myself having to work at being amused with this chapter of the Wishmaster story.
It gets a 4/10 from...
