Are there any other landmark cases besides Marbury v. Madison in which deal with the process of judicial review? And what would the public and political responses be if an act of unpopular judicial review would take place?

There are a couple of other cases, but they more deal with the authority over state courts and state officials.

As far as standard to be used in judicial review, the current governing case is United States v. Carolene Product with its famous footnote number 4.

Acts of unpopular judicial review take place daily. People scream, people rant, people right letters to the editors, legislators threaten to impeach judges. Then when the momentary publicity machine dies down, the ruling is forgotten until the next campaign (and probably permanently by most).

I think Marbury v. Madison settled it.

I think we have seen the results of judicial activism and also the public response, with Roe v. Wade and other so-called "privacy rights" cases.
