Supercross (2005)

Such a frustrating disappointment

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

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.

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.

If we all could fly by flapping our arms around, then we would not need airplanes. The same is true for getting a movie off the ground, or even a high appreciation for this very hard to learn sport of professional Supercross. Why is it then that the makers of "Supercross: The Movie" and the following digital distribution entitled just "Supercross" have the mindset (with granted a number of popular new actors) to believe that splicing together some scribbling ("bling") plastic film footage around the chrome and steel of this hot action sport, would have the effect of getting this reel of film into the stratosphere? That being said, the young and the restless approach found with this gang was mainly entertaining, and cast a pleasant frame around the dynamic real motorcycle competition footage. Why worry about the little things when you have big people, and add the huge new bombastic action sport of Supercross to the show. A certain spunk is found in this camp, seldom seen in the theater today. An international audience will be forgiving of a number of non-renounced (and possibly worthy of a critical thrashing) editing sabotage foolishness. They will look beyond the obvious and see the fact that this movie is about having some fun, and nothing more...

Get ready for one of the most enduring, most exciting, and most greatest of all the sports films out there - "Supercross!!!!!" This movie took place at the greatest of those sports events, the Motocross Championships, in (ala Elvis) Vegas, baby! Now, these two men, brothers, must have what it takes to win it all and go for the gold!!!!! "Supercross" is one of those films that just screams, "I've had enough of the same old, same old sports stuff! This movie has everything: fast stuff, action, drama, suspense, the works! Not even movies like 'Raging Bull' and 'Million Dollar Baby' can come close to this stuff!!!!!"I felt the same way too when I heard about this movie. I, myself, thought of those exact same words in my head, which convinced me to have a go at this flick. And, man, is it ever good!!!!!Don't miss out on that great, great motorcycle film of the 2000s, "Supercross!" 10 stars.
