Astoundingly Over-rated

Rating: 1/10 (12 September 2007)

The AFI's top 100 movies of all time doesn't have many movies that I disagree with, but I don't know of a more boring movie than Citizen Kane. I realize that some of the cinematography is considered "revolutionary", but it was incredibly boring. I wouldn't rank it in the top 1,000 movies and probably not even in the top 10,000 movies if I've actually seen that many movies, but it would take a while to count how many movies I've actually seen. If there's any silver lining to this tediously boring movie, it's that certain scenes from the movie that have been spoofed more than once on the Simpsons with which they did an excellent job. It was then, and only then that I was glad I had seen it.
