A lot of people, including Kevin Costner think it's a bad movie, I think it's awesome.

It got a bad return, which is even worse from the perspective of the studio. It was just an absolute production clusterfuck. From stunt coordination in aquatic environments to building an entire goddamn aquatic environment when the weather refused to work with the filming schedule, it was just an absolute nightmare for everyone involved. The production costs ended up like triple the original amount and the opening box office weekend made back life half of it.
