How is such a movie rated so high we ask? It must be awesome. But watch it for yourself and you will feel sick to your stomach. The all time worst movie ever to be recorded. A true waste of time... Full review

I saw this for the first time on videocassete and I don't know why it was rated #1 of all time. I thought it was a good movie but not a great movie. Although it was probably a much better movie... Full review

There have been many things said about "Citizen Kane" and Orson Wells. Things like "genius", and "brilliant". After seeing this film for nearly a hundred times, I've come to the conclusion that Wells was a genius at being able to get... Full review

This isn't fast food for mush brains to watch, digest and forget. So what if it's too slow for today's video-clip generation? DaVinci's "Mona Lisa" doesn't even move. Michelangelo's "David" just stands there! Art is to contemplate, to enjoy just for... Full review

Having said this, the film lacks the crisp writing and direction required to make a family drama stand out.
Although well put together, such films need a tighter focus with actor's better equipped to show deeper scars and traumas leading to the conclusion.

Take a break from Election-eve anxiety and see Orson Welles' 1941 masterpiece "Citizen Kane" the way your great-grandparents did: On the big screen at Albany's Palace Theatre.
Like Spitzer, the richly gifted Kane throws away his reformist political career for carnal reasons (complicated in Kane's case by his need for what Joseph Cotten's character pegs as "love - on his own terms").

Many regard Citizen Kane as perhaps the greatest film ever made, and do so for a host of reasons, not the least the many pioneering creative achievements in the language of cinema at the time.
That doesnt mean I think the film is weak

On those scores, "Citizen Kane" might well be said to have marked a milestone.
It seems to us that "Citizen Kane" will be an assured success in big cities, but that when it gets its teeth into the outer belts the outcome is in much doubt.

Here is the film that deserves to trounce all competition as Best Picture at this year's Oscars.
