Why do so many people hate Kevin Costner?


Why do so many people hate Kevin Costner? With the exception of a couple of movies in the mid 90s, he's been in good movie after good movie. Field of Dreams, Bull Durham, JFK, and Dances with Wolves are all classics. Why all the hate for an underrated actor?

I don't hate him. I like him. Great actor. Cute, too.

“Hate?” Meaning be hostile, loathe, feel malice? I do not think so. If an actor’s characterizations in movies, which after all are merely fictional tales, meant to entertain, provoke “hatred” of the actor playing the role, one has a problem: emotional imbalance, difficulty distinguishing fantasy from reality, irrational anger, etc. Chill. See a shrink

You can add "Open Range" to your list. This is an over-looked, pure Western,a fine film, and he did a great job acting in it, as well as directing it!!

An actor dies and you read the name Joe Smoe and you say, "who the hell was Joe Smoe?" He wasn't anybody. He did a couple of movies nobody talked about. When he's buried and gone, he really is GONE and FORGOTTEN. NOBODY will ever ever, ever be able to say that about the incredible, sexy, talented, skilled, brilliant man/actor/producer/director/singer/etc. whose name is KEVIN COSTNER. His footprints are at Grauhman's...his star on the walk of fame...his signature movies are talked about over and over. Every actor has ups and downs. Trouble is, when Kevin Costner is down, you want to keep kicking him and punishing him. HE NEVER ASKED you to go see a movie you now want to live to insult! And then you have the nerve, the unmitigated gall to trash him and the movie just because it didn't meet your idiotic expectations. So get a life. It's only envy you insulters have. Get over it. I go to see a great movie and I get it every time. Period.

Why do so many people hate Kevin Costner? Maybe because he is no talent whitebread jerk who won Oscars. Also he is offensively conceited about himself.

---hey jerk head rollieri..take your pic of the icons. You have ZERO, NONE, NADA, ZIP about who you're insulting. KC has more talent and decency in his little toe than you will EVER have in your entire body and empty head. Creatures like you should be hunted down and exterminated.

reply

You sir, are a total dickhead. You wouldn't know talent if it smacked your empty head. It would be a waste of ammo exterminating you because you are already dead.
If you had half a brain, you would still be a total moron.
