Looked to be promising but really poor

Rating: 5/10 (6 January 2008)

Whatever films I comment on this site, The Bodyguard was clearly a movie that saw Kevin Costner's film career start to wane through highs and lows where to this day, he makes frequent appearances in inferior films and because I did not read any reviews from the film critics when this 1992 film first came out, The Bodyguard looked to be promising due to the number of promotions it had with a TV commercial or movie posters displayed at lit-up bus stop shelters and shop windows.
However, a couple of years later when I viewed it on the living room box, I couldn't believe what a stinker this turned out to be and even seeing the average ratings given in the TV guides for one of the biggest problems with this film is that turned out to be rather dull for a number of reasons with the plot about a bodyguard assigned to protect a celebrity singer played by one Whitney Houston, fictitious or not!
Even if some say that Costner was miscast as the minder, then Houston's "off-stage" part is so annoying as if she cared less about her own safety from a mob of deranged fans and behaves like a spoilt child and all I can say, considering the number of promotions this film received around the time it hit box office in the early 1990s, its such a waste,
