Powder

This is officially when Billy Corgan jumped the shark.

Powder goes out of his way to look as different as possible dressing like a complete dingus with Bono sunglasses and we are suppose to be shocked when he gets bullied into dus-powder. Powder is rocking the summer I got really into Diablo complexion. Director Diddles - There is a part where a doctor leaves the examination room and is all yeah there isn't a single hair on his body

Didn't an accused pedophile direct this or something? Hmm..

Eminem's rise to fame, told through the eyes of those around him. Fairly inaccurate/boring.

Sentimental and manipulative as it is, I have had a strange kind of identification with Powder in my adolesence.

Not bad.

Hated this movie when they made us watch it in middle school. And the director's a pedo, so into the trash it goes. Only gave it a 1 because of Jeff Goldblum.

I swear the writer went out of his way to make every piece of dialog in this film as ham-fisted as possible. The film has no real focus; it's just a random barrage of bad things happening to Jeremy that awkwardly leads into the ending. The characterization is also laughable, where the villains are the most cartoonish assholes imaginable while Jeremey is depicted as being a faultless, perfect saint. I don't buy that a recluse like this would be so calm and composed against social stimuli.

This kid never stops creeping me out. I know I’m basically siding with the bullies here, and I’m pro albino, pro magical albino especially, but nah, this movie just kinda creeps me out.

Frustrating fantasy film never properly capitalises on its intriguing premise - while this tale of an outsider with supernatural powers is not exactly original, Flanery makes him a specific and unusual character; in fact, none of the actors can be faulted here, with Goldblum and Henriksen especially good bringing their usual quirks to liven their familiar characters, but a tendency to indulge in gushy sentiment rather than grapple with Powder's nature makes this passable but disappointing.

directed by a pedophile and child rapist

this movie FAILS at everything it attempts to achieve

Schmaltz on schmaltz on schmaltz

This movie is like a meaner and less visually polish Edward Scissor Hands. I quite like it because it has a couple of very good moments, Jeremy "Powder" looks cool and may seem intimidated by people, but he is not afraid he is in another level and doesn't care about being super intelligent or having powers, he wants a human connection but is hard and the movie shows that struggle very well.

Pretty sappy, and the special effects look like crap. Jeff Goldblum, though.

Interesting and original movie with a great ensemble cast!

3 of 4 -- Entertainment. 1 of 2 -- Food For Thought. 1 of 2 -- Opens The Heart. 0 of 2 -- Sustainability Values.

Disgusting

Classic. lol

loved it, but I wouldn't change braveheart for it :D

powder has a bald white dong. think about that

so green mile and k-pax in a way. though this one is older and with worse special effects.

Movie was incredibly boring when I saw it in theaters, but I was 14 at the time. Maybe even younger. I'd give it a second look, but I'm not remembering anything stellar about the film.

lol wtf?

The definition of an oversentimental tearjerker...but damn, it worked.

This is one of the first flicks I vividly remember seeing in theatres, and I think I remember so much of it because Powder has such sympathy. I can still watch this flick and love it. The way Salva displays Powder's forced isolation and compels you to feel and empathize with him.. it still gets me.

I had to watch this in Religion class for some reason. Even though I was being marked for watching this thing and answering questions on it, I remember absolutely nothing because it was so damned boring.

Way too preachy.

Engaging and empathetic combined with a touch of mystery and the supernatural. Really well-cast and shot. Enjoyable.

I remember liking this as a child, but it doesn't really stand the test of time.

Good

Relentlessly sappy, but it definitely had me the whole time through. Twice. Within only a couple months. That's more than more than I can say about a lot of films. I think it helped that it's extremely short. Meh!

Overly sentimental

The best supernatural, outsider, coming-of-age movie ever! ...Every young person who thinks they're misunderstood and "different" will identify... It works!

My girlfriend SOBBED all the way through this fucking thing.

I really dug it when I saw it as a teenager. "A young bald albino boy with unique powers shakes up the rural community he lives in." That pretty much says it all.

Loved it when I was 13. Now, not so much.

HEY LOOK IT'S THAT GUY FROM THE BOONDOCK SAINTS. Crap movie though.
