Chicago ReaderJoshua 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

Dallas ObserverBill Gallo
If you love Kawasakis, Hondas, and Yamahas, and don't mind tin-eared writing, get down to the multiplex. Read full review

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

Entertainment WeeklyScott Brown
Amusingly, Supercross puts up a fierce anticorporate front, lauding the self-financed ''privateer'' over the ''factory'' cyclist. If this is a joke, few will get it. Read full review

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

The Hollywood ReporterMichael Rechtshaffen
Its release calculated to coincide with the X Games, Supercross: The Movie is advertainment to the extreme. Read full review

The New York TimesLaura Kern
Provides plenty of authentic dirt-flying motorcycle thrills, but the film's excruciating earnestness and clunky script frequently slow its energetic pace to a grinding halt. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesJohn Anderson
Ultimately, Supercross is an example of how too much of anything will get annoying -- including VVRRRROOOOOOOMMM and flying bikes. Read full review

TV Guide MagazineAngel Cohn
Filled with tremendous stunts and well-shot racing sequences, director Steve Boyum's loud, down-and-dirty ride through the world of Supercross motorcycle racing comes to a screeching halt for its many pit stops for Hollywood clichés. Read full review

L.A. WeeklyMark Olsen
When huge chunks of character development and narrative exposition are relegated to a track announcer's running commentary, it can never be a good sign. Read full review

New York Daily NewsElizabeth Weitzman
Unfortunately, while director Steve Boyum is a successful stunt man and off-road biker, his skills do not extend to the relatively passive arena of filmmaking. Somehow, he even makes much of the action static. Read full review

Miami HeraldPeter 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

Washington PostRichard Harrington
A poor man's "Lords of Dogtown," substituting hard-core motorcycle racing for extreme skateboarding and featuring a young cast of television-bred actors. Read full review

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

Baltimore SunChris Kaltenbach
The most amazing fact about Supercross is that it took three people to write it. Two chimpanzees with a typewriter could have done just as good a job. Read full review

San Francisco ChronicleWill 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

New York PostLou Lumenick
A collection of product plugs masquerading as a movie en route to home video. Read full review

Chicago TribuneMichael Phillips
The movie itself has no edge. It barely has a movie. Read full review

The A.V. ClubScott Tobias
Since the focus is on the track, the filmmakers aren't out to reinvent the wheel, but for such a simple piece of formula storytelling, they do a remarkably poor job of dotting I's and crossing T's. Read full review

Austin ChronicleMarc Savlov
Fails to kick start anything other than the urge to giggle. Read full review

The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Jennie Punter
Shamelessly cross-promotional "extreme" sports flick. Read full review

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