Sorry, this movie sucks
... View Morebrilliant actors, brilliant editing
... View MoreEach character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
... View MoreExcellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.
... View MoreAll I can say is bravo. After the final scene in which a SPOILER HAPPENED THAT I CANNOT SAY OR ELSE I WILL GET BLACKLISTED, and the end credits began to roll, I sat in my seat, then stood up slowly, as the people in the theater scuffled to the nearest exit, and began to clap slowly, with each clap my motion growing stronger and faster, until I was suddenly clapping what sounded like a thunderstorm. Yes, Aaron Carter stole my heart from his first line WHICH I CANNOT REPEAT HERE, to his last breath... no! I Don't think Aaron Carter dies, because he doesn't... unless that's a spoiler too... so maybe he does die? Oh who cares! The matter of the fact is that Supercross entertains on levels that modern cinema has not even come close to (if only more American cinema captured the fantastic voyages as seen in the Bionicle movies)and leaves the audience in a state of introspection. Many people say they gained insight after watching Requiem for a Dream, but nay I say to those people. To truly find oneself, one must watch Supercross.
... View MoreI think that this movie is a good one for motor cross fans and kids. It's something that's not worth paying 10 dollars for at the movies, but it is enjoyable if you are into XXX sports. I am into it and I thought the stunts were pretty cool, but there was no real plot to it. There was but it wasn't like fast and the furious where there's mystery and suspense. However, if you want to see steve howey in a different light than definitely see it. He was great, and I think he has a lot of potential as an actor. He was completely different than his van character on Reba. He was serious about what he was doing and you can tell that he loved what he was doing. I hope to see more of him in other movies because he's really talented. Overall I give it a 3 out of 10 stars.
... View MoreHow 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.
... View More"Supercross" more than overcomes a slow start. The movie rips into a new dimension of cycling portrayal, combining crispy-clean and spectacular event photography with rich pulsing sound. The highlights of the film "Supercross" have to be the motor-bike photography. The quality only gets better as the action evolves. Everyone into advanced cinematography or cycle racing has to see "Supercross" because the THQ Las Vegas Championship races are worth watching over and over again!!! The closing moments deep and "coloured" mesh of film technique will be best appreciated on a Big Screen.The simple romantic drama is at least worth sitting through, and possibly enjoyed after all. Fresh young talent like Sophia Bush, Cameron Richardson, Ryan Locke, and Channing Tatum grace the screen. Likewise experienced racers David Pingree and Tyler Evans.A variety of music works, especially the opening credit sync and a ballad theme that has a good feel to it."Supecross" is different. The plot is very simple and the dramatic approach asks only that you enjoy what the movie has to offer without asking why.
