Costner is smart...

207.81.84.149

As he has said in the past "I'm not the best actor, I can't make a bad movie good" like a Jack Nicholson who can with sheer presence make something a lot better than it really is.

Costner is an everyman and usually plays the average Joe and guess what he's usually believable as the average Joe -- so I don;t get the complaints consistantly levelled at him. He has never annoyed me in any film I've seen him in and he's not detracted or made a good movie bad. Sure he's been in some stinkers but then so has Michael Caine and virtually every other cosidered to be great actor.

Costner was also minor pro level as a Baseball player which is why in the baseball films he actually LOOKS the part -- unlike Redford and Liotta who clearly are hopeless baseball athletes. Costner is smart because he picks films where he doesn't have to carry the film. unfortunately he isn't good enough to lift mediocrity out of the mud.
