Wishmaster 2 is definitely a step down from the first movie. The script isn’t as strong, the kills aren’t as memorable, and the characters feel a lot weaker this time around. It even feels like there’s less of the Wishmaster himself, which is a weird choice considering he’s easily the best part of these movies. That said, it’s still a fun watch. The movie keeps that same twisted creativity the franchise is known for, delivering some wild, over the top kills that only a Wishmaster movie could come up with. Even if they don’t hit as hard as the first film, they’re still entertaining in their own way. The CGI is also noticeably better this time around, which helps some of the effects land a bit more smoothly even if it still has that late 90s feel to it. And honestly, Andrew Divoff is still great here. Even with less screen time, his voice and presence carry a lot of the movie’s appeal.
