"a total bore" as Ingmar Bergman once said

Rating: 6/10 (12 May 2009)

'Citizen Kane' is the story of a fictional character named Charles Foster Kane and how was his life and career. He was loved and hated, and did many things while he was alive. Charles is a millionaire newspaper tycoon, and while at first his dreams were noble,in the end, the only thing that matters to him is to be more and more powerful. The story is shown through flashbacks, and most of the story goes around a newspaper reporter seeking to solve the mystery of the newspaper magnate's dying word: "Rosebud."
I know that I am going to be hated and bashed to say my real opinion, but I cannot lie: I expected this movie to be so much better then it actually is! I was bored for the first 30 minutes and I think that if my boyfriend didn't want to watch this movie, I probably wouldn't have finished it. The excitement of it comes from the reporter seeking to solve the mystery of Kane's last word "Rosebud" and that's it!
I like classic films and I enjoy a lot to watch biographies, and if Charles Foster Kane were a real person, I would be much more interested to know about his life.
A pro about this film, is the fact that is considered one of the most innovative works in the history of movies, and I can understand why: It really makes you feel like Foster Kane existed for real.
In general, I just find this movie overrated, but hey, you know what? Maybe it works for you.
