I just find hard to believe there are many people who likes this garbage. No only they like it, they had the balls to rate this 10/10. Why? Maybe because this movie touch the heart of soppy people, perhaps? This movie about a pregnant woman, victim of a lightning. She gave birth an albino baby with magnetic superpowers. This baby grew in a cellar of the grandpa´s house. Super intelligent, mind reader, and magnetic powers. Jeremy, the albino guy go to school and face bully guys who dislike his appearance, And the leader of the pack was a mean macho. The storygoes on: Jeremy can´t never defend himself, hies teacher Jessie Caldwell always push the bullies away. So pathetic. The ending: Oh My Lord, he finally is swallow by a big lightning in the clouds and that´s it. He vanish into the sky. I sad: Thank God the electro-magnatic "Michael Jackson" is gone for good. Horrible experience. Bad film.

May contain spoiler.This film is in my top 10 all-time favourites (more likely top 5), I watch it at least 5 or 6 times a year. A lot of films can touch you depending on your mood at the time. This one can touch you no matter what your mood. It's storyline is unbelievably powerful, with a deeper meaning than may be obvious on first viewing.Jeremy is different, innocent, powerful, spiritual. Classified by the bullies as a 'freak show'. I think there is a little bit of Jeremy in each of us, but most of us will never know it.Sean Patrick Flannery who plays Jeremy, played the part superbly. The emotion, the pity, the anger at the Deputy for shooting the deer, the sorrow.. every part of Jeremy's character was played so well, it's as if it was a true story. The music score.. very simple style, and each time a score was played, it was not only perfect for the scene, it also brought out the goosebumps. The music doesn't change a lot, but there is no need. The main theme.. my word, it is just amazing.. makes your heart skip a beat, makes you smile, happy, sad and all sorts of emotions at the same time.All in all.. you need this film in your life.

I actually liked the first 20 minutes which included the hospital scene and the basement scene. I thought it had a lot of potential at the point, but instead it fizzled. When Powder has to leave the basement and venture out into the real world, he is bullied and made fun of as you would expect. I figured there were two ways the story could go. One - It could follow a path from outcast, to acceptance to hero as he uses his special powers to "save the day". Two - the bullying could turn him into a vengeful anti-hero who uses his powers to destroy the society which rejected him. Well, I was wrong. It didn't go in either of these directions. It just didn't go anywhere at all. Should be in the bottom 100.

This is a very rare gem of a movie. In a time when movies have a lot of fx to cover up a weak story, to graphic unnecessary violence and sex. Powder basically shows a pure and unique individual that is not accepted in today's society that has become jaded with discrimination, and overall being afraid of someone who looks different. There are several important elements in the movie. There is the paranormal factor that challenges what we know of science and the the human mind can achieve, the extent of human cruelty, love and forgiveness, and a hope that we may advance beyond technology. The most of all, raw emotion the reaches deep into the heart and leaves a impression that will stay with you. What also makes this movie great is that even though it is not a true story it could be. The idea of being different because of looks or something that makes you stand out from the status quo of the different groups, where we can all relate to. This movie achieves this in a powerful, passionate and inspirational way. This movie makes you sit back and take in everything, showing us what the world may be if we stop judging one another and start to accept our uniqueness. What also is shown in this movie is just that just because someone may be different with looks or how they act that they are some weaker or a part of the undesirables. Who time and again in this movie seem to show us that perception needs to be changed. One scene where we find out he has the highest I.Q. ever recorded.,to a scene where a hunter shoots a deer and powder touches the deer and the hunter and shows him the pain the deer feels before he dies that has a profound effect on the hunter. Another scene where Powder helps the local sheriff understand what his dying wife wants, which is to just reconcile with his son. You have a movie that looks like it could be a Carrie type movie but ends up showing the sad inability to treat Powder with any sense of humanity and dignity. No matter what he stays his pure positive self in some scenes showing the error of our ways and then in the end makes a final act that hopefully makes people want to change for the better.
