Movies don't come more over hyped

Rating: 1/10 (2 December 2005)

Ummmm...Citizen Kane may indeed be a mystery. I looked up top mysteries on this site and Kane was one of them. But I do not feel the solution to the "mystery" in question is very satisfying, nor does it make any sense with the rest of the picture. So, Kane turned into a terrible newspaper tyrant because he lost his precious sled when he was a child?? BIG DEAL. Obviously, all its innovations in the making of films are very nice, and film students should be required to watch. But the story is its weakness because it leads you to believe that there will be some great revelation about the meaning of Rosebud, and there's not. Look at The Usual Suspects for a film with a satisfying ending. Each film focuses on a question, Kane just never finds the right answer. It's not really a 1/10, but it angers me that critics call this film the greatest of all-time. Not even close folks, not even close.
