CK vs. Woody Allen

Rating: 4/10 (25 January 2008)

Since hearing Woody Allen say that he has not written or directed anything as good as Citizen Kane, I decided to rent the movie. I have also heard that CK is one of the greatest movies of all time if not the greatest. However, after watching it I'm shocked to find that I was not as moved or touched or enlightened as I thought I'd be. I was expecting more of a deep emotional movie that would leave me with a feeling of wow such as Schindler's list. I feel that Woody Allen has written good stuff that has more general human relating qualities than CK. Although 1941 is before my time and there may be some elements in the movie that are beyond me it was definitely not the greatest movie of all time!
