Supercross is a movie you know. Everyone here has seen countless movies just like this before. Nothing new, however, does not necessarily mean nothing gained.

The motocross action in this is superb, and even though I'd never heard of the director (or in the case of the action perhaps the second unit director) I felt the motocross parts of the film were more than well done and well filmed. So for motocross fans, you will get some distinctive motocross action to consume lovingly.

The acting doesn't fare as well, but what do you expect? I'ts called Supercross: The movie, stars a bunch of unknowns (the two most well known are Robert Patrick in a small supporting role, and either Mike Vogel of Grind/Texas Chainsaw Massacre fame or Sohpia Bush of One Tree Hill.)While the acting doesn't necessitate awards, should it? The audience for this is not going to care as much about the acting ability as much as the ability of the movie to entertain, and it does. It's fun. Enough said.

I read a review that compared the plot to The Karate Kid, and while I could see the similarities, there are deviances; but the film itself does borrow from other sports destiny films and when you think about it...it has too. There is nothing but cliché left in this genre. So just sit back and enjoy a good time and shut your brain off. Wait for DVD if you aren't a motocross fan.

p.s. my friend saw the preview for this and his literal quote was "I'd rent that just for the hot chicks." There ya go boys.

This movie was fun. I feel bad for the hardcore Supercross fans though, since a lot of the details on the bikes were really sloppily done. That is the directors or editors part. Do some research before you put that in the movie. Other than that, some have really spoken up about how bad the acting was in this movie. What? Its not Saving Private Ryan, its a sports movie driven mainly by teens and twenty somethings. The two actors Mike Vogel and Steve Howey do a good job playing brothers trying to survive in the sport of supercross. There love interest are equally appealing. It is a fun movie a couple of things left you scratching your head like what happened to the Carlyles father? I will chalk it up to again, bad editing. This movie is on par with its predecessor Winners take all , an equally entertaining supercross flick. Fun if you are young and into the sport. Bad if you are an old man watching it with your young kids or real hardcore supercross fan.

I'm going to keep this short and simple because I have to move on to more important things, this movie was awful with extremely bad acting. I hated every second of it and left before the half-way mark, don't waste your money on the DVD. I have to keep writing more before IMDb can accept my comment so here goes nothing. I hated the actors, not that i have anything against them, it's just that their acting was the worst that I have ever seen in this movie. Maybe I've being unfair to them, maybe their acting sucked because of the crap they had to read, so let me touch on the writers in a couple of sentences. The stuff they wrote was pure crap-the worst of its kind. These were lines you'd expect to hear in bad 80s porn movies. I think I lost all faith in teenage sport movies (LMAO) after watching this one! Word to the wise: stay away from this movie and just watch taxi driver.

Completely unwatchable except for the nice bodies and faces of its stars. A really trite teenage oriented movie with all the clichés, coming of age, antics and sexuality you would associate with a movie of this genre. Oh, it is bad, bad, bad. I am surprised it was even made. Or maybe I am not....these days practically anything gets produced. Just a waste of time. But I guess many teenage girls would like it, as I said, for its handsome and hunky young stars. Don't waste your time. It is that difficult to watch. Mike Vogel, more blond in this film, just postures and smiles and acts like a complete and total moron in most, no, make that all, of his scenes. It is very, very difficult to sit through the entire mess. I guess if there is nothing else on the tube, and you can find nothing to read, you may want to take a look see. The only plus is that motorcycle and racing fans may find it exciting. Even that I doubt.

I was actually surprised that Supercross got even a 4 from me. It was such dumb fun, that I couldn't help but resist. Trust me, the film is really pretty bad, but me being somewhat of an extreme sport fan myself, it was hard to turn away in parts. But its this style of MTV generation kids, the ones who made this film, and the ones who may like it, that worries me. I just hope nobody mistakes this schlock for a piece of art.

The writing is, pure and simple, awful. The acting is atrocious as well, and the film get's more predictable as it goes. The dramatic sequences rarely work, but the motorbike races are actually filmed fairly well, and I was impressed with some of the stunt work. Though predictable, the film offers us a character or two to like, but the 'villians' are so cheesy and clichéd that its almost unbearable.

I won't dig deep into the plot, but it revolves around two brothers who find motocross to be a good escape from their troubles at home and after their father's death. The main characters are quite a pain, one is bossy and the other is a genuine idiot who becomes increasingly annoying, and in the final scenes I actually wanted him to crash. The emotional scenes are worthy of a cringe or two, and a predictable romance subplot gradually unfolds. The story really proceeds to make less and less sense, and all the film can offer by the end is some nice eye candy. The one liner attempts are also equally miserable.

If you're a fan of the sport, then its recommended not as a film, but more just a long infomercial on the sport, with some nice stunt work. The story is at best 3rd grade level and the bad acting is hard to ignore, but it gives a decent perspective on the sport, decent enough that a lot of fans shall be pleased. But if you're not a fan of this sport, then at all costs: Stay away!

4/10

To the critic who exited the theater halfway through the movie, "You really missed it."

"Supercross, The Movie" racing photography at the Las Vegas Chammpionship event is the best sporting cinematography of any motion picture that I have ever seen. Super vivid and intense plastic.

Is there any better quality sports film production than later stages of "Supercross, The Movie" racing footage? Extreme close-ups, sudden slow-mo, chrome, other digital effects, aerial jumps and tight action shots are framed with excellent form detail and clarity.

The Director made some mistakes. He could have used Hollywood draw like Aaron Carter, and Sophia Bush for more than only quick supporting shots. He could have included a lot more Supercross racers, and expanded on character development. He could have made more of a total movie, and it would have been interesting for other racers to have some lines.

The camera work in the beginning of "Supercross, The Movie" is inconsistent at best. The digital sound is consistently excellent.

I liked the audio effects during the event races. The exaggerated sound is in keeping with the New York Film School style and look of the better half of the film. I even liked the framing cut aways. Not to many film makers have the courage to do something that far out of the generic mainstream.

Granted, several of the dramatic (or lack there of) scenes needed to be re-done. It is like they began the project with a total lack of organization, and filmed only one take.

Even so, the "SoCal" "seventies lifestyle" approach of what little character development there is found its mark. The storyline is fine, it is just that there is such a lack of fine tuning.

The good parts of the film were so extra over the top that they made the beginning more than survivable.

I hope the next time around they keep the excellent sight and sound quality of the final racing events, and put together better Directorship of the back-in-time lifestyle dramatic intention

I am really into motocross, and do motocross myself so i extremely enjoyed the film. If you don't enjoy watching a lot of motocross you won't enjoy the film too much. It's about two brothers who are very competitive yet very close in their relationship. One of the brothers gets an opportunity to race in the "supercross" leaving his brother behind cleaning swimming pools. I'll leave the ending up to u to go see in theaters. It's has a good story, and a good movie yet fairly predictable, but overall, i enjoyed it very much, and definitely will see it again. I hope that this comment maybe changed your mind of seeing this movie or not. Finally a dirt biking movie!!! yes!! :) ~Laura~

Supercross: Coming from a past Motocross racer, whose sons are grossly interested and active in the sport. I took my 2 boys to see this movie. After watching past with them, days/weeks/who knows how much footage or MB of digital images of just racers and riders, with no intended story line on our home TV with them, I did not know what to expect. I figured I would get much of the same, and hopefully a story to boot. I have to say when compared to some of the other full-length films related to the sport of Motocross/Supercross they made a noble effort at putting together actual film sequences, mixed with some acting abilities to present a story line even though it was somewhat weak. As a true race fan you will pick out some inconsistencies in the splicing of the actual "Clear Channel" ® footage that was used to enhance the film. It is hard to take the racing sequences to seriously when the characters are beating some of the best-known racers in the industry. It might have been a little more realistic if they could have used cameos from professional racers in more than just a passing glance. But give them a break it is a movie. However, for a dramatic effect race footage served its purpose. It allowed them to mix reality racing with drama in a manor where it did not obviously appear dubbed in. Even with the track switches and split screen viewing it gives you the impression that you are watching a broad-casted race.

Yea it has some of the most predictable film clichés in film industry, but I do not think it was directed to earn any awards. It is a story of a very common ideal in the sport. It is the struggle of two brothers K.C. and Trip that are dreaming of making it to the big show in a sport they love. From an amateur level there is a lot of effort and motivation that goes into trying to become one of the chosen few that gets the opportunity to earn a high level sponsor or a professional contract. It also shows you the different methods used to grab the necessary attention. Both methods are demonstrated slow and steady working little by little and on or over the edge going for broke. It also tries to show the kids watching that the ethics of trust, loyalty and perseverance do pay off.

If your a race fan, you should enjoy it just for the fact that our sport has climbed one more rung on the latter, to more public recognition. Hopefully we will get the attention that the sport deserves. As a parent, it is a movie that you can stand to sit through with you kids and spend a little time with them. Trust me the kid's will like it and more than likely you will be buying a copy when it is released for home theater.

Every cast and crew member of this film will remember "Supercross" as the low point in their career. Mark my words, Supercross will one day be mentioned on a VH1 special, where some actor talks about OD-ing on coke or pain killers because of the humiliation and emotional distress caused by this flop (the weekend's not over and I already know it's going to flop). When any movie opens with the lead character telling you exactly who he is and exactly what he wants, you know you don't have much to look forward to. In this case, the lead characters are Trip and K.C. Carlyle (Mike Vogel and Steve Howey, respectively) – amateur motocross racers who dream of racing in the Las Vegas Supercross competition. And just like NASCAR, motocross is definitely a "whites-only" sport. In all fairness, if you're a hardcore motocross racer, you'll love this movie. For everyone else, this is an absolute waste of time and money.

wow. that's all there really is to say about this movie. I don't know if a more vacuous, trite waste of film has ever been scrounged up. This movie has it all. Atrocious acting. Every cliché in the cliché book. Legions of bimbos clamoring for these schmucks. Awful dialogue about the American dream. Stuff like "you'd better watch your back" and "if i wanted to be alone, would i be stripping?" Not to mention the movie is about supercross. What a niche market that is. Never in a million years would i pay to see this movie. I happened to be seeing a good movie, and when walking out of the theatre noticed this semen stain equivalent of a movie just starting. I just couldn't help myself. I couldn't bear more than maybe twenty minutes before I ran out of the theatre screaming and proceeding to curl up in the fetal position once reaching the lobby. Please don't see this movie. Furthermore, if you see any of the actors from it on the street, kick them in the groin once for me. Thank You.

In the middle of the movie, I decided I'd rather play in highway traffic, but I was too busy searching for someone to hold my hair back while I 'spewed chunks' on a 'gnarly track.' I was just happy it was free. Of course, free passes would be the only way to drag people away from anything to see this film. Although every race started, none of them ended. We had to figure out who won. The whole movie seemed like a first rehearsal. It seemed as though everyone was still learning their lines and they were all very upset with how bad they were. Anyone involved in this film should be ashamed. Take this as a learning experience and never do it again.

I actually left about halfway through this movie. Because neither the plot and relationships, nor the racing footage, were enough to hold my interest.

When I think about it, I guess the natural movies for comparison might be The Lords of Dogtown, and The Fast and Furious, and whatever that racing movie was that was the contemporary of Fast & Furious, that starred Sly Stallone. All three were far better movies. All three featured lots of racing action and racetrack energy and the like. And all three included some engaging off-track personal dynamics for the racers.

This movie seemed VERY short on plain old race footage and racetrack footage, and seemed to concentrate more on off-track personal relationships. Yet none of these relationships seemed to me to really appeal. "Tight but competitive" is the opening formula: but almost all I saw and heard was competition with little sense of connection. Competition without that connection is frankly very, very unappealing to my taste. I wanted to like these folks, but just couldn't.

Bummer ...

This is what I call a formula sports flick. The formula the very unknown local underdog plot line. Decent movie. 99.5% predictable. There's one little part at the very end I think doesn't go exactly as you might expect that might surprise about 1/2 the people watching, OK, maybe a 1/4.

Its got some cool race scenes with an OK soundtrack. Fairly interesting characters. Not something I would go out of my way to see but it makes the time fly when you're ironing shirts.

I enjoyed the movie, but its not one I see myself adding to the home DVD collection unless all of a sudden I become and extreme sports race junkie. Watch it if you want to - it won't hurt.

First I have to disclose my possible bias; I invested in the movie. There's no doubt that the plot and character development are pretty darn skimpy and I was a bit taken aback that Daryl Hanna disappeared from the movie. I'm not particularly a fan of this sport, but I was really engaged by the movie. I have to assume that plot and character development were sacrificed to keep the action coming, and the motor cycle racing scenes are what kept me engaged. When the movie ended I was left wanting more. Most of the reviews of this movie have trashed it. What mystifies me is how something like "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" could have an average rating on this site that is twice that for Supercross, 'cause I thought Mr. and Mrs. Smith was one of the most worthless movies I ever sat through, even though I only paid $2 to see it. And I really liked Tomb Raider. So, I'll put up Supercross against that star vehicle any day. Hey, they're only movies. I am consoled by the fact that earnings don't seem to correlate with reviews.

I think that this movie is a good one for motor cross fans and kids. It's something that's not worth paying 10 dollars for at the movies, but it is enjoyable if you are into XXX sports. I am into it and I thought the stunts were pretty cool, but there was no real plot to it. There was but it wasn't like fast and the furious where there's mystery and suspense. However, if you want to see steve howey in a different light than definitely see it. He was great, and I think he has a lot of potential as an actor. He was completely different than his van character on Reba. He was serious about what he was doing and you can tell that he loved what he was doing. I hope to see more of him in other movies because he's really talented. Overall I give it a 3 out of 10 stars.

A motorcycle saga that chronicles the personal journey of two brothers who overcome emotional and physical obstacles to achieve success in the competitive world of Supercross racing. The brothers? conflicts are magnified by their different life choices and their decision to become competitors and rivals.

KC Carlyle (Steve Howey) is a more cautious rider than younger brother Trip (Mike Vogel), who has more natural talent but takes too many risks. When KC gets an all-expenses-paid "factory" (corporate sponsored) ride, a rift forms between the two brothers. Trip is forced to go it alone, becoming a ?privateer,? a rider without a sponsor. But when a career threatening crash ends Trip's Supercross career, he and KC realize they must put aside their conflicts and work together to help KC defeat the world's greatest Supercross champions. Supercross 4/10

My son and I enjoyed the movie. It was fun and exciting. Lots of motorcycles. Anyone would enjoy this movie with there kids. Great job on the PG-13 rating.

My son has already been asking to see it again. He also wants to purchase a DVD, i guess we will have to wait until that comes out.

He now wants to race motor-cross, but I think watching will be good enough for now, he is nine. We have watched Moto-Crossed on the Disney channel many times (moto-crossed was done by the same company)so I'm sure we will be watching this one as well many times in the future.

Thanks for a great fun family movie.

Out of all the reviews I've read, a ton of people HATED Supercross so I guess I'm 1 of the very few who actually enjoyed it.I think it was a pretty good movie.I wouldn't watch it again anytime soon but I could see myself watching it again in another couple years.The story has been done a million times before but this time the story is set in the world of motorcross.It has enough going for it that it should keep you entertained for 1 hour & 20 minutes & if you're not entertained, the little 1's will most definitely be, if you have little 1's.I don't understand why it got so much hate.It's not going to win any awards but in my opinion, it was a pretty decent movie.To each their own, you like what you like & hate what you hate.If somebody asked if Supercross was worth watching, I'd have to say yes, I'd give it a shot.I don't know if you'd like it but I most definitely did

Really don't listen to that other idiot he doesn't know nothing about this movie...They have made this movie about two orphaned boys that grow up heading for their goals and their goal is to follow in their fathers footsteps and become a supercross champion and mate who really cares about the sound of the bikes or the company, they made a company name up for this movie because thats just it mate...its a movie movies aren't real dude...

This movie is a great movie and it shows how two young brothers can work together and succeed in something, its also awesome because it has motorbikes in it and me myself have a motorbike that is good and i too plan on following my dreams and become a supercross champion..

Get ova yourself kid no one cares about the sound of the bikes in this movie or the company they just care about sitting down and watchin a good movie with friends, family or partners so just keep things like that to yourself and let them make their own judgements. OK
