great stunts(gives a new appreciation of the athletes in this sport)wow!

this movie is not bad at all.some of the stunts these guys(and girls)do in Supercross is absolutely astounding.the way they flip in mid air and the heights they can reach.i have a new respect for these people.the stunts were mind blowing,but very realistic,as far as i could tell.there are some hot women in this movie,naturally.the acting is OK and to me,the plot is thin,but that is not the draw for this movie.the real reason to watch this movie,or any of the genre,are the amazing stunts these guys can do.to say they are talented is a huge understatement.i found this movie pretty exciting.it is only during the dramatic scenes that i didn't like it as much.i just wanted to see those stunts.thankfully,that is what most of the movie is.if you're a Supercross fan,you should love this movie.if you're not,you might still really enjoy it.at the very least,you should have a new appreciation for the athletes involved.my vote for "Supercross":8/10*

How To Mangle A Sport

How can the writers of this movie cash their checks for what they did to one of the best sports for kids and adults. Did these guys ever attend a SX race? Did they even know what SX is until they saw some clips of real SX events? The script for this mess wouldn't be good enough to pass a high school writing class. They had to know that most of the people attending this movie would have some familiarity with SX and know how preposterous it is for an unproven rookie to get a factory ride. Yeah, and the Patriots look for their quarterbacks at the pick up games down at the city park.

Here comes the spoiler (though anyone that watches the first five minutes of the movie and can't figure out how it will end is either watching the first movie of their life or sound asleep).

KC gets a factory ride and walks away from it because its the right thing to do and beats his old teammate at the big race. Riiiiiight! I've been riding bikes for 30 years. My son and I have been going to 2 SX races every year since 1996 - one here at home on St. Louis as well as a weekend trip to Indianapolis. We've met all of the top racers from the last 15 years (including Tyler Evans) because they all accessible at the races during practices or in the pits. They are always nice and appreciative of the fans - whether its Jeremy or Ricky some lowly privateer with a 3 digit number.

I know this movie was promoted at the races for two years before it was released and looking a the number of producers involved I can't believe someone couldn't figure out how to put the feeling of a real race into the picture. There were about ten seconds where I felt the excitement of walking into the RCA Dome for a race. The racing sequences were so phony and staged. Watch a race where Bubba or Ricky get a bad start and start moving up to catch the race leaders. Every time they pass someone the crowd roars until they take the lead and the stadium starts rocking.

My expectations were not real high going into the theater. I knew this wasn't going to be Olivier doing Shakespeare. I mean Mike Vogel reached his acting heights on Grounded For Life. But the puppets on Mr Rogers do a better job of showing genuine emotions than anyone on this movie.

1 star is really too many for this movie but since I can't give it zero it will have to do. But if you really want to see some good SX racing, get one of the Bar To Bar highlight DVDs. The people in them are real racers and they show highlights from real races, but the acting and the stories are better than Supercross - The Movie.

Not as bad as you'd think/not as good as they'd think.

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.
