I agree

Rating: 5/10 (4 November 2005)

I agree mostly on what you are saying, the story in Citizen Kane was very weak, but the Cinematography was about 30 years ahead of its time. That is an amazing jump for anything. Orson Welles directed this movie wonderfully, but lacked in the writing area. Even though Citizen Kane was based on an actual person who's name escapes me, it still could have been much more interesting. Even being one of the most revolutionary movies in Cinematography ever made, I don't see what the big hype over it is. It had the most boring storyline I've ever seen. Even though i dislike this movie, I still believe it is an important movie for any movie buff to see, as far as the technical aspects of it goes.
