Critic Reviews

Chicago Reader - Joshua Katzman

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. Read full review

Variety - Justin Chang

Completely disposable yet rousing on its own crude, testosterone-saturated terms. Read full review

Village Voice - Matt Singer

Not since Burt Reynolds's "Stroker Ace" has a racing movie provided so many laughs, intentional or otherwise. Read full review

Miami Herald - Peter Debruge

For anyone who digs hardcore motorcycle racing, Supercross delivers enough engine-revving, dirt-spewing motorcross action to satisfy even the most intense adrenaline craving. Read full review

USA Today - Mike Clark

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

San Francisco Chronicle - Will Crain

While there's no blood to be seen in Supercross, the film is rated PG- 13, due to some crash scenes, a little strong language and some mild sexuality. That's a shame. This movie was tailor-made for 12-year-olds. Read full review

Film Threat - Pete Vonder Haar

That legendary adolescent tolerance for garbage may be severely tested by Supercross. Read full review

Supercross as an extreme sports movie should be rated with its peers not "Gone With the Wind" I found it depicted "kids" dialogue, lifestyle and racing acurately, was exiting and entertaining.

"Supercross" spectacular racing photography, best during the Las Vegas THQ AMA Championship, makes the film worth seeing. Bright Vegas stadium lights allowed the cameras (including an over-the-stadium cable system) to stop way down and put crystal-clear images on film. Editing added to the "Supercross" spectacular racing photography, best during the Las Vegas THQ AMA Championship, makes the film worth seeing. Bright Vegas stadium lights allowed the cameras (including an over-the-stadium cable system) to stop way down and put crystal-clear images on film. Editing added to the extreme. "Supercross" would play best in the theater due to the graphic and solid-clean speedway cinematography near the movie conclusion. A re-edit would improve the beginning of "Supercross." Some scenes that were taken out of the film's beginning were missed, and several that were included lacked film charm. Actors are mostly young and feature talented "unknowns" who may be about to become famous. Ryan Locke and Sophia Bush present solid performances. Supercross racers David Pingree and Tyler Evans show easy acting style. A simple back-in-time romance and a brotherly sub-plot are all the storyline "Supercross" has to offer. The main draw is the richly edited cycle racing film.… Expand

Supercross circut racing Finals riders and crowd at the Las Vegas THQ Championship became live "extras" for the night-event film conclusion. High-intensity lighting of the Vegas venue greatly added to the elaborate camera technique expressed by the experienced Stunt Director Steve Boyum.

Vivid sharp-focused film and emphatic sound is edited IMAX style. The last twenty minutes of "Supercross, The Movie" are spectacular on the theater screen.… Expand

This is junk. Supercross fulfilled everone of my horrible expectations. The scenery was good but the acting was hollow, I could care less about the characters, the script and plot had holes in them and it was just a usual disappointment like so many other pictures in the world.
