Review of Supercross

Supercross (2005)
6/10
Sacrificed some plot and character development but moves fast
24 August 2005
First I have to disclose my possible bias; I invested in the movie. There's no doubt that the plot and character development are pretty darn skimpy and I was a bit taken aback that Daryl Hanna disappeared from the movie. I'm not particularly a fan of this sport, but I was really engaged by the movie. I have to assume that plot and character development were sacrificed to keep the action coming, and the motor cycle racing scenes are what kept me engaged. When the movie ended I was left wanting more. Most of the reviews of this movie have trashed it. What mystifies me is how something like "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" could have an average rating on this site that is twice that for Supercross, 'cause I thought Mr. and Mrs. Smith was one of the most worthless movies I ever sat through, even though I only paid $2 to see it. And I really liked Tomb Raider. So, I'll put up Supercross against that star vehicle any day. Hey, they're only movies. I am consoled by the fact that earnings don't seem to correlate with reviews.
