There is much good to be found in "The Outsiders," which marks still another example of the Fox network's willingness to take chances on unconventional stories told in unconventional ways. The actors' performances are unfailingly excellent, the production polished and stylish. More than that, despite the surplus of violence in the pilot film, it is refreshing to see a television drama about young people in which the protagonists are doing something besides drugs, in which their concerns run deeper than clothes and dates...It could get terrific. [24 Mar 1990, p.D-9]

What The Outsiders needs is more finesse - some "soc" boys with at least a few redeeming values, some parents who have a gnat's notion of what's going with their kids, more blurred lines between the two teen groups, more background on all these kids, and more sides to their lives and personalities, just like real life. [22 Mar 1990, p.C9]

If you can get past the glorified and tiresome rumbles and taunts between the low-class ''greasers'' and their rich-kid rivals - the ''socs,'' pronounced ''sosh-es,'' a tribe of mostly blond pompadours - there's a sweet family drama being enacted by some unschooled heartthrobs-to-be. [23 Mar 1990, p.3D]

Although the characters are too inconsistent to be entirely believable and often act too inanely to be respected, there are enough nice moments here to lift "The Outsiders" above the ordinary and give it promise.

Outsiders is clinically designed to flatter a teenager's sense of isolation and persecution. Adults are likely to find it boring, but then, they're supposed to. [24 Mar 1990, p.C1]

Cuando leí la novela recuerdo que me encantó, de hecho, no sabía que existía la película, pero cuando la vi, más de lo mismo, quizás me esperaba algo más, o incluso la recordaba mejor, pero un reparto muy bien escogido, la historia me encanta, un muy buen punto de vista de la sociedad de aquella época. · Cosas buenas: es muy emotiva, lo que más, el reparto está muy bien elegido, la historia genialmente adaptada, y la banda sonora, en algunos momentos es espectacular.
· Cosas malas: al igual que dije lo de banda sonora que es espectacular, en algunos momentos me da la sensación de que se cuela algo. Quieras o no, la película es demasiado convencional, le falta un toque, algo. El último tercio no te emociona ni te pone tan en tensión como el libro.
· Conclusión: en su momento me encantó, y me sigue encantando, me falta algo, un toque más emotivo, más de tensión, pero siempre será un peliculón.
