Visually stunning masterpiece!

Rating: 8/10 (31 December 2013)

It's generally regarded by those qualified to judge greatness in cinema that this is the one at the very pinnacle.The very top of the heap.The BEST movie in the history of cinema.My take? I will give it credit for being a great film.It is unique from all other films from it's time period.It not only tells us a captivating story,it is visually mesmerizing to boot.At the same time,is it my favorite film? No,that title goes elsewhere for me.There is a difference between large groups of experts determining what is great in cinema,and individual taste.I will buy what the grouped together experts say.On the grand scale,this is probably the best film ever made.My personal favorite film probably wouldn't come close in the eyes of those experts,but I wouldn't trade it.All that being said,may I say,nicely done Mr. Welles.Nicely done.
