Citizen Kane

While not a bad movie, I don't agree that it's a masterpiece of that day.  I thought the intro was a little engaging, but the longer the movie drags on and his life starts to go down hill, so did the enjoyment.  I don't think it was that interesting for me to see this rich guy have these problems.  Him becoming a governor wasn't a very easy goal to relate to.  From its day, I would give it an 8.  Now though, I would say that it's a good movie, but not really great.  It just doesn't have the solid message or plot that it needs to get a better review from me.  Overall, his problems were too extreme or too common to base a movie off of.
