Consensus: While it provides some cool stunts, Supercross feels like an infomercial for the sport, with undeveloped characters and a shopworn plot.

Reviews for Supercross: The Movie
As a fetishized appropriation of the extreme sport of Supercross motorcycle racing, for a story about two different-but-similar racing brothers, "Supercross" succeeds in combining fast action with slow burn emotional fuses.

You could see the same thing for free -- with higher production values and snappier dialogue -- watching X Games coverage on ESPN.

Top CriticMercifully, it's a mad dash to the final finish line.
03/01/07
Like the drive-in classics of Roger Corman and Samuel Z. Arkoff, this develops the principal characters and conflicts with just enough depth and keeps the narrative moving at a brisk pace.
01/08/07
Top CriticThe cinematography has the cheap, washed-out look of old home movies, but director Steve Boyum provides some exciting race footage to pass the time.
05/12/06
Too bad the DVD doesn't just cut out all the exposition and plot and (yikes) the actors
02/03/06
Save your hate-mails, motorheads. I'm not knocking your favorite sport, just the amazingly brain-dead movie that it inspired.
01/30/06
Supercross has its charms for those who appreciate cinematic innocence, and as a love letter to its subject certainly registers as sincere.
12/04/05
Only the most devoted MX fetishists could like the film, because it doesn't offer a scrap of nourishment for the uninitiated.
09/26/05
A short and frantic cookie cutter of a sports movie that will please fans of the sport, but probably won't bring more to the fray.
09/23/05
I've made bologna sandwiches that inspired more enthusiasm.
08/30/05
Part advertisement for Clear Channel’s Supercross broadcasts and part hellish miscalculation on the part of the producers.
08/28/05
When the first line of a movie is “My name is Trip Carlyle,” you know you’re in trouble. That sounds like a guy stuck in the ‘80s with a made up name.
08/25/05
A long infomercial.
08/25/05
More like flipping back and forth between ESPN and one of the less-demanding teen-centric TV networks than a movie.
08/24/05
Director Steve Boyum, a former motocross driver, hacks his racing footage to incomprehensible pieces and, from the looks of the meager, jumpy narrative, did the same to the script.
08/23/05
Top CriticThis is basically a commercial for the sport, and it's not a very good one at that.
08/20/05
Once the dust settles from the final, triumphant race, the memory of the protagonists' names has been whisked away at the speed of 50 mph.
08/20/05
The writing is abysmal, the acting wouldn't pass muster in a high school play, and the direction by erstwhile stuntman Steve Boyum (Timecop: The Berlin Decision) is positively sleep-inducing between cycle jumps.
