Citizen Kane (It's Terrific!)

Rating: Null/10 (14 May 2015)

What can I say about Citizen Kane that has already been said by so many? Despite my ten star rating, I don't personally see it as my favorite film or the best film of all time (not that ten stars implies that). Before having seen it, I purchased the 70th anniversary edition because I knew that I would enjoy it (which I did). It is a pioneer in film and one of the greatest story lines and characters ever captured in cinema history. It has gone down as one of the greats for good reason. It is well written, acted, directed, filmed, and deserving of more Oscars than it won. It's two hour run time suits it perfectly, and unless you're an action film crazed personality, you'll most likely find yourself very intrigued. Great film.
