So disappointed. Gave this a hopeful shot first time ever last night, and I really couldn't stand it.
By today's and recent decades' standards, poor editing and so cheap. Pace was beyond boring.
Thing is I can usually find the redeeming qualities in older black and white movies, but I really couldn't find any in this. I can list 10 movies of old far better than this, and people call this the greatest of all-time?
Sorry to those who love it. To me, this is another movie way overhyped so everyone pretends to like it because if they don't, they're afraid they'll be looked at as stupid or having bad tastes since it's always in top 10 lists, if not number one recently.
I actually hated this movie. I thought it was awful.

The op was written 5 years ago; watch it again in five more years, when you turn 18. Maybe you'll get it then.

That's your opinion; I thought it was very good

Gotta disagree with that. Even by today's standards, the editing is great with an engaging pace, and the production design is fantastic.
So many stories, so little time.

Classic film is not for everybody.

To each their own I guess. Personally, it's one of my favourite movies, but since it's a character study, I can easily see how someone wouldn't like it.
The thing I can't understand is your complain about bad editing. To me, Kane is a technically perfect film, full of great images, great camera movements and great transitions. Could you elaborate on that?
