Overrated

Rating: 6/10 (14 May 2016)

So Citizen kane is regarded as one of the best films of all time. Whilst it is good, it is certainly not worthy of this title. Everything that made it so special, I've already seen in countless films. Of course it is terribly unfair to compare Citizen Kane in this fashion, but considering its influence over modern cinema, it is difficult not to do this. But this isn't just restricted to modern-day films. Citizen Kane's narrative structure is repeated just three years later in Double Indemnity. Furthermore, Kane is a very unlikeable character. I wasn't interested in his character arc or journey.
