One of the worst movies of all time.
Sure, some innovative film techniques, but this movie is unwatchable.
I cannot understand how this keeps showing up at the top of the "best" lists

Quite possibly the most overblown, overrated film in history.

Welles once described his Hollywood career as, " . . . starting at the top and working my way down."
Love it or hate it, Citizen Kane was a major advancement in the way films were written, acted, directed and produced. And it really is a great story.

It may be one of the greatest movies of all times but I can’t sit through the whole thing... bores me to tears.

Well, it did lead to Glenn Beck’s fantasy of being the next Orson Welles. I’m not sure that’s good or bad, though.

Orson Welles was, in some ways, the Andrew Breitbart of his era tweaking the noses and exposing the enemedia fatcats as the tools and empty suits which they really were.
I've gotta love Welles for that reason alone.

Just watched “ The Magnificent Ambersons” on TCM last weekend. An excellent movie though not on par with Citizen Kane IMHO.

Almost all of the Japanese Godzilla movies are just ripoffs of Citizen Kane.

how to improve Citizen Kane:
make Kane not just a publisher but a recently back from the dead flesh-eating publisher, and use the title “Night of the Living Citizen Kane”. Now that’s a movie.

The saddest thing with this movie is that so many people don’t listen close enough to the dialogue. He was asking the maid for a beer, “Rose...a Bud.” He could care less about some old sled. He was just thirsty.
