In Kevin Costner's defense Of all the celebs I met, Kevin always made time to meet with fans and make folks around base feel special. I can't say that for the other folks. As far as I am concerned, the man is a class act.

Quoted: Yech, you liked Waterworld? Quoted: Quoted: I think his best movie, and performance was "Open Range". Quoted: You'd be hard pressed to think of anything or anybody that can't get a good old fashioned arfcom hate thread started. Yeah, Kevin Costner has made some real flops. But then, he's been in a lot of great movies too.

I'd put him in the solid actor category despite his crappy movies. Watching Wyatt Earp now. I've never even watched Waterworld. Quoted: because he has the same, damned, monotone voice in every movie? Quoted: In Kevin Costner's defense I also enjoyed Open Range and the Untouchables. However, his name is listed on the NRAILA website of individuals who have have "lent their name and notoriety to anti-gun causes, speaking out for anti-gun legislation and providing a voice for anti-gun organizations.

He's a rank hypocrite. That's why I fucking hate him. About the Untouchables, his was the worst performance and the film succeeded in spite of him, not because of him. Just saying. When Costner is on his game he is great Tin Cup is one of my favorite movies. Quoted: Quoted: Yech, you liked Waterworld?

Quoted: Tin Cup is one of my favorite movies. I enjoy some of his movies, but like any actor or musician I don't want to hear his political opinions.

Shut the fuck up, sit back in your chair and wait till your called to do a scene or show. He's a god awful singer though.

At Opry live with band. He is ok, he has a few good movies and a few losers. The swan has been turned into an ugly duckling. There is a tendency to blame the most visible and highly-paid participant in any movie for whatever goes wrong with it, but in this case perhaps Costner was simply at the end of a chain of errors and miscalculations. I do not think he has become a bad actor overnight.

I have not grown tired of him. I still like what he does. Nothing in " Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves " diminishes my admiration for his talents. I gave the movie a negative review because it was a bad movie. That doesn't make Costner a bad guy. Will Hollywood learn a lesson from this film?

Will it stop rushing half-baked projects into production in order to meet deadlines with disaster? I doubt it. But I think it will be a long while before Kevin Costner allows himself to be bamboozled into another one of these flim-flams. Roger Ebert was the film critic of the Chicago Sun-Times from until his death in In , he won the Pulitzer Prize for distinguished criticism. Roger Ebert Critics have unjustly cast Kevin Costner as villain. Roger Ebert June 23, Latest blog posts. Latest reviews.

Belfast Christy Lemire. Already Waterworld has become a movie-making myth. The media are not interested in the facts. They are obsessed with the figures. Here are a few. Length of shoot: days. Number of welders, carpenters and mechanics working on the main set: Height of main set: 40ft. Weight: 40,lbs. Distance under the sea, after it sank: ft. Number of marriages broken up by the shoot: "at least" eight including Costner's own. Years of happy Costner marriage hitherto: Number of people with confidence in Kevin Reynolds, Costner's choice of director: 0 including Costner.

Such sums don't tell the whole story. Of course, it was less expensive than Waterworld, but there was also a huge studio spin-doctoring operation rather like that performed by Tory ministers after John Major's leadership "triumph" which determined that Grant would be saved, even though his movie, by the standards of romantic comedies like Sleepless in Seattle, failed.

With Costner there is only schadenfreude. Hollywood is happy to give up on him. He is not the star they thought he was. But then the key to Costner's decline is that nobody - not Hollywood, not the critics, and least of all Costner himself and his fans - understood what sort of star he was.

He had been acting in movies for six years when he made it big, at the age of 32, in He starred in two of that year's hit thrillers. In Tony Scott's No Way Out, playing a naval officer, he looked as if he had been born in his starchy white uniform, even though his character was a spy.

He was spruce enough for you to smell the after-shave.
