His characters have killed bad guys-so he's good. I get that. I hate bad guys too.
His Harry Callahan character used a S&W .44 magnum so the gun people worship him-to the point of sick reverence.
I like guns too, but I don't worship any "style queen".

Yes, Clint Eastwood is way overrated. And if people really knew some of the low down things he has done their opinions of him would flip 180.
Just last year he was under investigation for conspiracy and fraud involving an upcoming movie producer. Anyone with his status that would stoop to stealing from someone new in the business while enjoying the prosperity and success he has shows nothing but low class.
That is par for Hollywood and the entertainment business. Any enterprise that generates so much big money for so little effort is bound to attract criminal interest. Witness his involvement with the "Four Hoods from Jersey" ( not just for Mafia fans).
I haven't seen the movie, I can wait til it's on TV.
