875.0. "Kevin Costner" by BUSY::BUSY::SLABOUNTY (Trouble with a capital 'T') Fri Jul 07 1995 19:31

    
    	Not impressed by this guy at all.
    
    	Caught about 10 minutes of "Wyatt Earp" last week and all I
    	could think was "Kevin, shut up!!  That droning voice of yours
    	is driving me crazy".

    I could take him or leave him.  Not impressed overall.  Did like him in
    the bicycling movie (the name escapes me at the moment).  Thought he
    was terrible in Robin Hood POT.

    Costner was excellent in "Silverado."

	Liked him in "No Way Out".  He's pretty irresistible, but
	no Olivier, that's for sure.

    I liked him in "Dances with Wolves".  Haven't attempted to see
    Wyatt Earp yet, probably cause I liked Tombstone so much that
    I think see KC version wouldn't be worth it - and from what I
    have read/heard it is much too long.
    
    Liked him in No Way Out (loved the ending) and in Revenge.  Not
    one of my all time favorite actors but he is OK - should be
    interesting when his new movie hits the theaters.  I will be
    curious to read the notes in here about it never mind what the
    critics say about it.

    .1 American Flyer, I believe
875.6TROOA::TRP109::Chrisdedicated sybariteFri Jul 14 1995 15:5610
Yes, "American Flyer" is the right movie. I thought Kevin
was great in "Bull Durham" and "Field of Dreams"  I think
everyone getting on his case now is the usual habit people
have of waiting until someone gets really successful and
then getting pleasure out of tearing them down. Okay, he
wasn't great in "The Bodyguard" or "RobinHood", but those
movies made a lot of money, so somebody must have liked
them! I just rented "The War" and, even though it didn't 
last in the theatres" I thought he was pretty good in that
too.

    	I didn't know who he was until he became successful.
    
    	So how was I supposed to criticize him before I knew who he was?

    	[Can't we all just agree to disagree on his "best" movie?  I mean,
    	 that's like trying to agree on the best song ever recorded, which
    	 is, of course, "Roller" by April Wine.  8^)]
