Rating: Summary: If I had a movie studio.... Review: What would YOU do if you were age 25 and handed the keys to a major Hollywood movie studio? Well this is what Welles did. I found it all very entertaining, except for when the old lady dropped the jewel into the ocean at the end. That wasn't very realistic. And I'm not sure Kane would have approved of Celine Dion's song over the closing credits...maybe Susan Alexander could have sung it, or Marion Davies.
Rating: Summary: One of the best movies ever Review: Dont listen to the other user reviews on this page, because theyre probably all just stoners. Citizen Kane is a great film about a man who goes from humble beginings, to having everything, to losing it all. Yes, the movie seems to drag in a couple parts, but once you see the ending, everything fits together perfectly. IS this arguably one of the best movies ever made? absolutely. if you appreciate good movies, and arent just an action meathead who cant handle a plot that doesnt involve explosions, this movie is for you. on a quick note, attention dumbass who asks why this movie wasnt made in color: THEY DIDNT HAVE COLOR MOVIES IN 1941 DUMBASS!! how dumb can you be??
Rating: Summary: Hands Down---Worst Film of all Time!!! Review: Yo freaks, whut iz up with ya'll?? I love movies and everyone knows this, so they get them for me as presents!!Well for my last birthday my grandma got me this weird movie called "Citizen Kane" and since the cover looked dumb I hid it under my bed and never watched it!! Well one day I got grounded all weekend when I hid a frog in my sista's underwear drawer!! Well that weekend my grandma was watching me to make sure I didn't sneak out, and she demanded I put in that Citizen Kane movie she gave me as a present!! After several protests, I finally did and proceeded to watch this heap o' junk!! I kept getting yelled at cuz I kept falling asleep through it all, but I couldn't help it cuz its so boring and old looking!! Its basically just about a funny looking politican wanna-be who's obsessed with the word "rosebud". This has no plot and is very repetitive!! Its the most dumb thing I've seen ever!! If you want good movies, stick with the good ones like Titanic, Gigli, Battlefield Earth, Dude, Where's My Car??, The Country Bears, The Matrix Series, Kindergarten Cop, Eight Crazy Nights and anything by the awesome Tom Green!! Skip tis movie, its for senile old people with too much time on their hands who like boring stuff!! Peace out peeps...
Rating: Summary: Doesn't live up to the hype! Review: I watched some part of it but couldn't get all the way through. No doubt that Citizen Kane is not a great movie, it's a boring film. I usually recycle movies I don't like, but this one was tossed into the dumpster. I am just afraid someone else waste their time watching this crap!
Rating: Summary: DVD treatment it deserves Review: Believe the hype. The film is a masterpiece. Period. And one movie everyone must experience.I'll comment instead on the extras, particularly Roger Ebert's incredibly informative and engaging commentary. He loves movies, loves "Citizen Kane" and it shows. He loads it with anecdotes, educational information, and not a few spoilers on the special effects and goofs. Ebert presents what amounts to an excellent Citizen Kane 101 lecture where the film, and not the lecturer, takes center stage. Nice job. Unfortunatley, Peter Bogdanovich's commentary is sub-par. When he's not name-dropping ("When I met Orson... I asked Orson" blah blah), he suffers from the annoying tendency to recount what's on the screen. And the rest of the extras are excellent too. Great DVD transfer.
Rating: Summary: The Best Picture Film Ever Made Review: I love Citizen Kane.I thought that Citizen Kane was a great movie.Orsen Wells did a good job writing,directing,producing & playing Charles Foster Kane on the movie.I also like Agnes Moorehead who played Mrs. Mary Kane is Charles Foster Kane's mother.I bet that Agnes Moorehead won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for this Best Picture Film Movie.
Rating: Summary: Everyone should watch this movie Review: I have always heard that Orson Well's Citizen Kane was a good movie, however, after watching it I am inclined to say that it is a wonderful movie. It teaches a very valuable lesson that everyone should learn at one time or another. Whether your 12 or 120, you should watch this movie. Granted its a little long, and in black in white, but don't let that hold you back from watching it.
Rating: Summary: I Liked Citizen Kane! Review: Citizen Kane is not my favorite movie of all time but I do think it was fantastic, a masterpiece that I really enjoyed watching and didn't think it was boring at all. I like classic black and white movies and I thought the documentary style used In Citizen Kane was interesting and that the acting was wonderful especially Orson Welles. It is a pretty sad, deep movie but I didn't find it boring and pretentious or too artsy fartsy at all and have seen it several times already and would watch it again. I had Citizen Kane on video but a relative borrowed it and took years to give it back so the tape is not in the best of condition so I recently taped Citizen Kane when it was shown on TCM and when I get around to it I will buy the DVD and I think it's worth it for the great extra features, but there are other movies on DVD that I plan on buying first but I will definitely be buying it!
Rating: Summary: nihilistic? Review: I certainly agree, Citizen Kane is truly a masterpiece delving into the human psyche and seriously questioning the evolution of our social symbolic into an extraordinarily distorted set of values. However, i fail to see where such films as Kill Bill fall into the realm of nihilistic. Could you please explain, maybe our definitions of nihilism are far apart?
Rating: Summary: Unwatchable garbage!!!!!! Review: My rate would be negative five if it was possible. What's with all the hype? I saw this movie about 5 years ago, and it still remains as one of the worst films I'd ever seen. I kept waiting for this movie to get better, but it never happened. Citizen Kane never fails to bore you.
