Over-Rated?

Rating: 9/10 (26 July 2011)

A lot of my friends call Citizen Kane over-rated. It is number one on the AFI top one hundred list and is considered by many to be the greatest film of all time. My friends say that it has great cinematography, but when it comes to story, it lacks.
I thoroughly enjoyed the story. It was a great plot and very entertaining. Through the entire film, the audience is waiting to find out the meaning behind Charles Foster Kane's final words. It drives the plot well.
So, personally, I thought Citizen Kane not only had wonderful photography, but a strong story. Now, is it over-rated? Perhaps. To call something the greatest film of all time is saying a lot. There are so many films out in this world, and plenty better than Citizen Kane, but it was good enough for me to put it's poster upon my wall.
