Citizen Kane Movie Review

On a white background, the centre of the poster is dominated by a stern looking man in a white shirt and black trousers towering over a group of people. "It's terrific!" appears in red in italics in the top right of the picture tipped 60° to the right. "Orson Welles" appears in block letters below the group of people and the man in the white suit. "Citizen Kane" appears in red italics below that. The remaining credits are listed in fine print in the bottom of the picture.

    "Citizen Kane" was created, directed and produced by Orson Welles and he was also the star of the movie! This film was produced in 1941 and wasn't very popular within America. The film didn't even make the money back to pay for the costs for the production of the film. In 1956, "Citizen Kane" had its reputation restored by the French and most critics called it the greatest movie of all time. This film is about a story of a man named Charles Foster Kane (Orson Welles) and his life of being a wealthy media proprietor. In the first scene, Mr. Kane whispers the word "Rosebud" then dies of old age. A detective is faced with a challenge of finding how who Mr. Kane is and what his last words meant. He interviews many different people who used to be in Mr. Kane's life. Almost the whole movie is shown with flashbacks of Mr. Kane's childhood and how he became a successful and rich man, but then loosing it all in the end.

    In my opinion I did not enjoy watching this film. To me it was boring and I couldn't keep much focus on the movie's story line, yet I had enough focus to understand it. "Citizen Kane" was a bit dramatic and kind of mysterious at some points, which did make the movie have some feeling in it. I had no interests really in this movie but it wasn't so bad that I couldn't stand it. I would probably never watch this movie again because I’ve already seen it, and also does not pull me back to think it’s that good to watch again. I recommend this movie to people who like stories of lives and a bit of mystery. I rate this movie 200 out of 500 skate board fails.

    Your review is pretty good but you could have discussed a bit more of the detail of the film. You have some spelling errors that should be corrected.
