Name : Cary Darling / Alias : Dallas Morning News
An unexpectedly enjoyable science-fiction adventure that should be generating louder fanboy buzz than it has so far.

Name : Mick LaSalle / Alias : San Francisco Chronicle
In its second half, Outlander falls apart completely, becoming nothing but a violent, mindless monster movie along the lines of Alien vs. Predator.

Name : Rene Rodriguez / Alias : Miami Herald
There isn't a single scene in this story about a traveler from another planet who crash-lands on Earth during the Iron Age that doesn't remind you of another, better movie.

Name : Roger Ebert / Alias : Chicago Sun-Times
I am tempted to describe the plot of Outlander as preposterous, but a movie about an alien spaceship crashing into a Viking fjord during the Iron Age is likely to be preposterous.

Name : Wesley Morris / Alias : Boston Globe
By taking nonsense seriously Outlander never achieves camp. It's a comic book that's mistaken itself for scripture.

Name : Tom Long / Alias : Detroit News
Outlander is a cheesy, low-budget, space alien Viking monster movie. And seemingly proud of it.

Name : Michael Phillips / Alias : Chicago Tribune
In Outlander, the nuttiest hunk of junk in many months, Viking warriors and a stoic intergalactic traveler join forces to combat an enormous beetle with whiplash stingers.

Name : Tom Keogh / Alias : Seattle Times
You can think about Outlander 16 different ways, and still arrive at the same conclusion: It just doesn't work.

Name : Steven Rea / Alias : Philadelphia Inquirer
An enjoyably goofy hybrid of extraterrestrial sci-fi and Iron Age action.

Name : Tasha Robinson / Alias : AV Club
An odd mishmash of genres with too much message and musing to be propulsive, and too much cornball monster movie to take seriously. But while the blend may not satisfy fans of pure action or pure drama, at least it gives them both a new flavor to try.

Name : Roger Moore / Alias : Orlando Sentinel
One of the more outlandish B-pictures to come out of the Great Movie Mash-up Machine known as The Weinstein Co.

Name : Tom Huddlestone / Alias : Time Out
Daft, obvious but hugely enjoyable, 'Outlander' is superior trash.

Name : Stephen Hunter / Alias : Washington Post
Daredevil doesn't take a single dare.

Name : Ricardo Baca / Alias : Denver Post
A well-crafted introductory course.

Name : Michael O'Sullivan / Alias : Washington Post
Perfectly satisfactory without being deeply satisfying.

Name : Geoff Pevere / Alias : Toronto Star
Even in February, it feels like the worst movie of the year.

Name : Tom Long / Alias : Detroit News
Completely devoid of subtlety or sense, the film is a series of bad scenes connected by empty characters, most of whom seem like leftovers from scripts abandoned long ago.

Name : David Edelstein / Alias : Slate
Kind of lousy.

Name : Mick LaSalle / Alias : San Francisco Chronicle
One of the biggest misfires in its genre since Godzilla.

Name : Jay Boyar / Alias : Orlando Sentinel
The action almost never stops, which is both Daredevil's biggest asset and its greatest shortcoming.

Name : Steven Rea / Alias : Philadelphia Inquirer
After sundry Batmans and last summer's Spider-Man, the comic-book formula of childhood loss, filial revenge, and freakish physical prowess doesn't seem all that fresh anymore.

Name : Richard Roeper / Alias : Ebert & Roeper
Daredevil has electric energy, a wickedly dark sense of humor, some ingenious fight scenes and that high-powered cast.

Name : Mark Rahner / Alias : Seattle Times
Marvel's on a roll.

Name : Mike Clark / Alias : USA Today
There'll be plenty of ragging to go around once audiences get a dose of the dullest live-action comic strip on record, one that lacks even an interesting villain.

Name : Peter Travers / Alias : Rolling Stone
Daredevil isn't laugh-out -loud lousy, it's something worse: deeply, depressingly average.

Name : John Powers / Alias : L.A. Weekly
The movie has far less emotional weight than, say, Spider-Man.

Name : David Ansen / Alias : Newsweek
Torn between moody grandiosity and cartoonish mayhem, Daredevil tries to have it both ways, and succeeds at neither.

Name : Bruce Westbrook / Alias : Houston Chronicle
The best Marvel movie to date.

Name : Ed Park / Alias : Village Voice
The numerous fight scenes have been filmed in Confuse-o-Rama, a headache-inducing technique that mixes a dozen too many cuts per minute, projectile P.O.V., and intermittent glimpses of the hero's sonar sensorium.

Name : J. R. Jones / Alias : Chicago Reader
[A] dull actioner.

Name : Todd McCarthy / Alias : Variety
A pretender in the realm of bona fide superheroes.

Name : Bruce Newman / Alias : San Jose Mercury News
With the appearance in movie theaters of Daredevil, we have now officially arrived at the bottom of the comic-book pile.

Name : Michael Rechtshaffen / Alias : Hollywood Reporter
A collection of false starts interrupted by an awful lot of angst-ridden contemplation, the picture serves up soul-searching gush with scant pulse-pounding rush.

Name : Trevor Johnston / Alias : Time Out
Convincing in the physical demands of the role, Affleck persuades us of the pain of sightlessness and supersensitive hearing, although writer/director Johnson's scrappy construction fails him and everyone else as the showdown approaches.

Name : Wesley Morris / Alias : Boston Globe
Too hollow and pedestrian to dramatize the conflict between its hero's vigilante streak and his moral straits imaginatively.
