I don't know why this movie is such a classic. It sucks.

Rating: 1/10 (28 June 2012)

I watched Citizen Kane because it was a classic and everybody said it was one of those movies you have to see. I'll tell you a secret. You don't have to see it. It uses a very cheep device to provide suspense if you want to call it that, we are waiting to find out what Kane meant by his final word on his deathbed: "rosebud." The plot is thin tedious and the end was about the most anticlimactic a movie ending could be. I think it was summed up best in an episode of the TV series Family Guy, when Peter Griffin says, "It was his sled from when he was a kid. There I just saved you from two long, boob-less hours." I wish I had seen that episode before I watched the movie.
