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

Full Review | Mar 7, 2007

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.

Only the most devoted MX fetishists could like the film, because it doesn't offer a scrap of nourishment for the uninitiated.

| Sep 26, 2005

Part advertisement for Clear Channel's Supercross broadcasts and part hellish miscalculation on the part of the producers.

| Original Score: 0/5 | Aug 28, 2005

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.

Full Review | Aug 23, 2005

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.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Aug 20, 2005

An example of how too much of anything will get annoying -- including VVRRRROOOOOOOMMM and flying bikes.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 19, 2005

A lemon, running on empty from the starting line to the final flag.

| Original Score: 0/4 | Aug 19, 2005

A poor man's Lords of Dogtown.

| Aug 18, 2005

The sport of Supercross serves as the backdrop for an excruciatingly earnest sports-themed action movie geared to speed-minded teens.

| Aug 17, 2005

Supercross: The Movie is a full-throttle orgy of soaring bikes and revved-up engines, held together by a thin if capably acted story of sibling rivalry.

Full Review | Aug 17, 2005

The movie's biggest drawback is a failure to deliver what's promised.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Aug 17, 2005

Instead of plot, Boyum treats us to some meaningless but incredible sights, like that of a motorcyclist and her vehicle doing a backward somersault in midair.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 17, 2005

A film whose level of imagination can be discerned right from its title.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | Aug 17, 2005

Supercross is basically just a high-gloss delivery device for off-road racing scenes.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Aug 17, 2005

More like Supercross-promotion: The Movie.

Full Review | Aug 17, 2005

A brand-encrusted infomercial.

| Original Score: C | Aug 17, 2005

Supercross racing may be an exciting spectator sport and even more rapturous for the participants, but none of that noisy exhilaration has made its way into Supercross.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/4 | Aug 17, 2005

In every sense, the movie feels like a pilot for a program that would follow The Mountain, that ski resort show on the WB.

| Aug 17, 2005

It's got all the depth and insight of a video game, but it manages to stay out of the way of its minor pleasures by not trying to be more complicated than it needs to be.
