Uh... that's it?

So here I am finally watching THE GREATEST MOVIE EVER MADE and the one question that plagues my mind is, "that's it???"
Okay, before everyone gangs up on me, I'm not saying that "Kane", THE BEST, GREATEST, AND MOST UNDENIABLY GOOD MOVIE OF ALL TIME, isn't well made or anything. It is a very good movie and it held my attention and I enjoyed it. But the thing is, anytime anyone talks about this movie, all you hear is how "Citizen Kane" is DOUBTLESS THE GREATEST MOVIE IN THE KNOWN UNIVERSE, START BOWING TO IT, KID! It's impossible to get that kind of hype out of your head, and I couldn't get around the fact that this is supposed to be some kind of INCREDIBLE AND FANTASTIC DEITY AMONG MOVIES. Frankly, I was disappointed.
"Citizen Kane" IS a good movie. I might go so far as saying that it's a great movie. But the BEST MOVIE EVER? I don't know...
