Great achievement, but overrated

Rating: 6/10 (11 October 2001)

Citizen Kane is a great, influential film. One of the most influential films of all time, in fact. But I still believe that it is overrated. The main problem is the story. It really doesn't captivate me. The story drags on and I really don't find myself caring at all about it. To add to that, I found that the acting really wasn't as outstanding as I had heard it would be. Many great things have been said about this film, and most of them are right. It is quite obviously a great achievement, but I'll give it a 7/10 because in some areas, Citizen Kane just wasn't my cup of tea.
