Supercross (2005)

I wanted to but couldn't!

Expected more

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

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.

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*

Being a motocross racer myself, i must say that the footage was pretty cool. I thought it lame how they should show facial expressions in the helmets of the riders. I was confused about the "NAMI" company. I hate how Hollywood tries to create an off-brand that will eventually overthrow Honda or Yamaha. The NAMI bikes were clearly just fancified CRF450's. In the drag race, Tripps bike was supposed to be a cr250r. Then it magically turned into a four-stroke that makes noise like a two-stroke. I hate when some dumb-ass producer attempts to recreate an image of a sport that is just starting to grow. I didn't like how these two clowns just entered a race with nothing after-market except for their slicks. Finally! SOmething thats real! Thanks for a fairly nice looking woman, and a flick that has a plot. But take some note from Disneys "Motocrossed".

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.
