Not a Western, but I thought the Hatfields and McCoys miniseries w/ Costner, Paxton, Powers Booth and others was well done.

Dances with Wolves and Open Range were great westerns.

Probably the best historical mini I have watched since Band of Brothers

Its kind of funny how his westerns do very well, and his post apocalyptics bomb horribly. Although I really enjoyed Waterworld

Iirc Open Range was a bit of a comeback for him

I think westerns are mainly a relic of the past. I can’t think of any recently that did well financially. Of course, there have been lots of bombs this year out of Hollywood across different genres.

a well made western would I think bring in the money. But how many movies of today are well made in any genre?
There have only been a few blockbusters in the past couple of years; Maverick and the Avatar sequel.
actually there have been no original true blockbusters for a while. The comic book movies are even sliding down the money lane

Saw it today, it was maybe a 2/10 Very Bad. 3hrs and the last 10 minutes were the best the movie had to offer. Maybe he was setting it up for Part 2 in August. Very very bad surprisingly enough, Definitely no Yellowstone.

Sad that he ditched Yellowstone for a turd.

Costner seems to have a pattern of success - followed by ego and hubris - followed by huge failure - followed by a career revival.

I count this as the third time it’s happened.
