Summary: Great heart felt Drama about being Different
Review: Do Not listen to the people who reviewed this title and said it falls short in spots. They are no nothing pathetic movie critics who have no sense of a good Prophetic film. Sure this kind of movie is not for everyone but the people that its not for do not have to put it down for being so different. If you like watching films that at the end leave you with a good feeling then Powder is a movie for you. A very well done story about a person who was very different from everyone else around him, and of coures people were afraid of Him and rejected his non violent way of being different. I hold very little respect for people who think this movie is not very well done because, they did not understand or grasp, in a sense, the true meaning of this film, for the one reason which the film's theme is, that if your different than people will reject you because they fear what they can't understand.

Summary: Great Movie
Review: Personally I thought the movie was great. I've watched like 4 times in the past few years, and I think it was an underrated film. I thought Flanery was very good in it and many of the events were really moving! I shed more than enough tears in this one. The story's creative and i think the music makes it more dramatic. For a good movie, I'd get this one--definitely :)

Summary: Ein aussergewöhnlicher Film
Review: Ich habe Powder "faszinierend" gefunden. Warum? Weil sich Powder nicht dem Mainstream angepasst hat und gerade hierdurch seine Stärken gefunden hat. Es kommt nicht so sehr auf die Umsetzung des Filmes an, sondern auf das, was man aussagen wollte. Gerade die Gefühle, die Jeffrey empfindet, sind doch das Wichtigste in diesem Film. Und diese Gefühle wurden auf eine sehr angenehme Weise im Film dargestellt. Das dies ohne große Aktionbeiträge im Film umgesetzt wurde, hat viele enttäuscht. Mich nicht.

Summary: Powder not nearly as good as it could be
Review: Powder I found to be a real disappointing film. And the main reason being because it has so much potential. Loads up potential, and a great concept. Yet it takes the concept and throws it into all these boring, barely believable storylines, and never really goes where it needs to go. The acting isn't very good at all, and we fail to even really get to know Powder that well. How does he do the amazing things he does? Why? Seeing something on screen anymore isn't enough to convince people it really could happen. Good acting can sometimes do the job, and Powder certainly lacks that. I mean Powder, if you're as smart and awesome as they display you in this film, do something to shake the world up a bit, make everyone take notice. Have your way. And why does everyone automatically dislike him so from the very get-go. I mean, before the kids at the bad behavior center or whatever it is even know who Powder is they hate him, and they never get him a chance to prove himself otherwise. One last complaint, so many issues fly through Powder. Being different, acceptance, tolerance, unseen intelligence, electrical phenomenon, even a bit of homosexuality (which didn't make much since). The issues are not given enough time and focused on enough. We're at one thing, zoom, we go to another, without good explanations. Powder is a film that falls way short of what it should and could be with a little good writing and better ideas.

Summary: Pathetic schlock
Review: This movie was an ambitious, but well-meaning, failure that made me cringe. If you want to portray a persecuted outcast in the bad old cruel world, at least make the character likable. I gave it two stars because I agree with some of the earlier reviewers that mention the raw portrayal of the best and worst in humanity. However, the film's delivery was so preachy and heavy-handed it crushed any chance of making this film work.

Summary: Touching movie
Review: I rented this movie 3 years ago and found it wonderful. I am male, 50 years old, married with children, and in the midst of a mid-life awakening. This movies spoke to me, but if one is not in a 'heart place' then it may not speak to you. I credit the director and actors for going out on a limb and reaching for something rich and healthy in life.Considering the age of this movie (1995) I was surprised at all the recent reviews, some in the last few weeks, most all in the last year. A pleasant surprise.

Summary: Powder
Review: As a Christian, I find this movie to be a religious statement in the wrong direction. It has you by the heartstrings much of the time, but feeds you a Beatle's "everything is one" world view over and over. If your life goal is to "explode" into the universe and be absorbed by the impersonal energy around you, then Powder is the film for you. To the objective soul Powder fizzles!

Summary: The most Spiritual movie I have ever seen!
Review: If your into things of the Spirit, Then this is a must OWN movie... I can see where folks that don't have a Spiritual eye may not get anything out of this movie, but If your one of those folks who Movies talk too... You will hear plenty in this one... My favorite line is when powder says "There is this little block right here (and points to this girls forehead) that most people can't see past"... Get it... You wont be sorry...
