To me, this movie is perfection.
Save your money for something good and enjoyable
Admirable film.
Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
While I wouldn't say this is a great movie, it was good. It was worth my time to watch. The description is way off. There is very little said about their fathers "suspicious" death. My hubby and I thought this was going to be a college party movie. We were way off. It's a drama with a lot of good action. I've never watched a supercross event in my life, but I really enjoyed the movie. I thought the acting was good with the exception of Aaron Carter who kind of sucked, but luckily was in very little of the movie. We may have liked it more because we weren't expecting much so it was a good surprise. And Steve Howey did a great job.
First let me say I've been watching Supercross since about the mid 1980s when Rick Johnson and David Bailey were banging bars.As a fan and former pit crew member of an MX race team I was excited to hear about this movie. Especially so when I saw real MXers were consulted and used. It was only a matter of having not had a chance to see it until recently. They pumped it up at the races for two years, a lot of industry people involved, I figured it would be good no matter what....Of course the story is thin, the actors were weak, and the realism often questionable. But I would have been willing to suspend those things just to enjoy the movie about a sport I love.I was even willing to grant them the leeway of putting a relative unknown into a Factory ride with Nami racing, skipping the Lites class altogether. In this case all they needed to do was claim that KC could have raced in Europe or something, or make the entire case slightly younger and claim that he jumped into the fold from amateur racing at 19-20. After all Yamaha's Josh Hill has stepped into the mix on a 450cc SX machine and won races this season as an 18 year old rookie.But far and away the most moronic thing was the fictional Nami Racing being upset that KC won. I happen to know for a fact that as much as a factory wants a champion, they are not going to begrudge a new guy winning. If anything, this in fact makes the bike look even better that an unknown rider could go out and spank the other factories on it.....you cannot buy that kind of publicity and proving....The entire notion of "blocking" as it is portrayed is nonsense. Team Yamaha is not going to tell Josh Hill to pull over so Chad Reed can go by, and they are not going to tell Hill to take out Kevin Windham so Reed is not "bothered" by him. If your top guy cannot win without someone blocking, he is not going to win at all. I'm not sure where the inspiration was for this other than to create controversy and give KC an excuse to quit the factory ride........Certainly they could have come up with a better idea to give KC a reason to quit Nami. A fight with Rowdy to create tension between the two would have been better. As it was the Rowdy role was weak at best and undeveloped.They also managed to somehow fail to capture power and grace of SX/MX racing. This seems almost impossible considering Speed Channel manages to catch it every week at the track with no script. And thousands of MX/SX videos have captured since the dawn of racing. The sound effects were odd at times, and did not help convey anything other then racket, when they could have been used to enhance.I am willing to suspend belief for movies more often than not. But with this one I had a hard time understanding why those choices were made. Especially considering they are major plot points that drive the entire story...... in this case they drive the story right into the face of a huge triple and leave you wanting a rewrite....
Really don't listen to that other idiot he doesn't know nothing about this movie...They have made this movie about two orphaned boys that grow up heading for their goals and their goal is to follow in their fathers footsteps and become a supercross champion and mate who really cares about the sound of the bikes or the company, they made a company name up for this movie because thats just it mate...its a movie movies aren't real dude...This movie is a great movie and it shows how two young brothers can work together and succeed in something, its also awesome because it has motorbikes in it and me myself have a motorbike that is good and i too plan on following my dreams and become a supercross champion..Get ova yourself kid no one cares about the sound of the bikes in this movie or the company they just care about sitting down and watchin a good movie with friends, family or partners so just keep things like that to yourself and let them make their own judgements. OK
Completely unwatchable except for the nice bodies and faces of its stars. A really trite teenage oriented movie with all the clichés, coming of age, antics and sexuality you would associate with a movie of this genre. Oh, it is bad, bad, bad. I am surprised it was even made. Or maybe I am not....these days practically anything gets produced. Just a waste of time. But I guess many teenage girls would like it, as I said, for its handsome and hunky young stars. Don't waste your time. It is that difficult to watch. Mike Vogel, more blond in this film, just postures and smiles and acts like a complete and total moron in most, no, make that all, of his scenes. It is very, very difficult to sit through the entire mess. I guess if there is nothing else on the tube, and you can find nothing to read, you may want to take a look see. The only plus is that motorcycle and racing fans may find it exciting. Even that I doubt.
