Title: One of the worst movies
Review: I'd heard so much about this movie that I finally bought it when it came out on this special DVD edition. Boy was I disappointed. The movie, supposedly based on the true-life news tycoon Hearst, is truly boring. While technically it has a lot of merits -- the editing, the cinematography, the make-ups -- the story itself is really difficult to follow. I paused the movie numerous times, because it was painful to go on watching it.After finally finishing the entire movie, I took out a few books on movies and read the relevant chapters on Citizen Kane. Of course they all sang high praises to the film. Then I watched it again, this time looking for the "classic" moments as described in the books, but once again I found the film disorienting and painful to watch.If you've never seen this movie, you may want to rent it first to see if you can stand it. If you like it, you may consider the DVD edition with an extra DVD on how the movie was made (an equally boring documentary).
Is the review positive or negative?
