Supercross

This film is about two brothers who are talented in motorcycle racing. They enter the world of professional Supercross racing, unleashing a new chapter in their lives.

"Supercross" may be an entertaining film, with plentiful of youthful actors and actresses, much speed and engine noises. However, I think it is limited by the fact that the plot is weak and poorly developed. There are a lot of motorcycle scenes, but it lacks the intensity and energy found in other racing films such as "The Fast and the Furious".

"Supercross" is likely to appeal exclusively to fans of this sport. Other people are unlikely to find it engaging or thrilling.

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

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 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.
