Why does Kevin Costner get so much shite from people?

Yea, I know he's had some high profile pictures bomb, but who hasn't?
When I go through his filmography, I see some really solid to great films, even the ones that were supposedly horrible:
The Untouchables
No Way Out
Field of Dreams (
)
Dances With Wolves
Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves
JFK ()
Tin Cup
The Postman
For Love of the Game ()
Thirteen Days
Open Range
Also, although I haven't seen them yet I know some people love Wyatt Earp, Silverado, Bull Durham, The Bodyguard, and Mr. Brooks, among others.
All I'm saying is that the dude has a really solid resume...why do so many people give him so much shite???

I love his movies, but an honest critique is that he's pretty much different shades of the same guy every movie. Hell in Robin Hood he had no English Accent.

Because when he bombs, he bombs in epic proportions.

Costner is one of my favorites, probably because I loved Robin Hood as a kid. Had all the toys and the VHS (still have it).
How can you make a list of Costner movie and leave out A Perfect World?

Critics and box office performance are poor indicators of actual film quality.

Make room for Hamburger, the Motion Picture while you're at it.

Because he's a pretty terrible and stiff actor. I do have to say that he can be decent playing light-hearted roles when less is expected of him and he's a pretty good director so he's not completely useless but the guy has been the star of much better movies than his talent warrants.

I thought it was pretty good. Not the best thing ever, but definitely not the piece of shite most people claim it is

Might be, but its a good movie. Also stars Clint Eastwood who also directed it. You should see it.

English Accent? Is that some type of tabbacco?
