You cannot evaluate in terms of comparison to what comes after. Citizen Kane broke new ground in what was possible in film as an art form. Now, because so many if thise techniques are recognizable to us, it loses luster. But at the time it was a revolution, and its quality must be evaluated in those terms.

Not to be an asshole, but you must not be knowledgeable in film to not realize it's significance and beauty.

stop trying to rate classic movies in a modern sense.

Wizard of oz blew peoples dicks off when it first came out but that shit is boring by todays standards.

when that film was released, it was rated with mixed reviews. the overall hype just came years after.

Like I said, I didn't wanna come across as an asshole, still drunk from last night. Look up and read some shit on it, there's a lot of material on the movie

Because it's old. That's why people pay 300 bucks for a bottle of scotch or 5000 $ for a guitar. And they really think that it tastes or sounds better when in fact it often doesn't.

Take a sip from a wine connoisseur's favorite wine and you'll find it disgusting. Citizen Cain is loved by people who love the art of movies. It shows up on the top lists when voted on by directors, screen writers and film critics, not when voted by your every man.

According to IMDb, the top films as voted by normalfags is:
The Shawshank Redemption
The Godfather
The Godfather: Part II
The Dark Knight
Schindler's List
Pulp Fiction
12 Angry Men
LotR: The Return of the King
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
Fight Club

That's all well and good, but such a thing would only be valid if people were trying to say it's revolutionary for its time.

But that is not true, 99.999999% of people mentioning Citizen Kane explicitly state that it's one of the greatest films ever made and nothing else modern could compare to it, implying the quality of movies have gone since then, which as you even stated is not the case.


So my judgement of the movie still stands, it sucks and anyone who is trying to say it's good is an idiot.
Because only 0.000001% of the time would I actually be wrong and I'm happy with that error rate.
