I agree that it’s overrated. I was glad when Vertigo beat it as best film of all time in a 2012 critics poll. That said I don’t really find it to be a boring movie. In addition to the interesting cinematic techniques used, I also am fascinated by the story of CFKane…even if my 6th grade music teacher gave away the ending before I ever saw it.

Wow. It blew my mind as an adult 82 years later. I watched this review after and it very concisely answered some “How’d They Do that?” questions I had and it also summed up my feelings pretty well.

And yet in both cases the original still comes off as…well original, not to say that I don’t enjoy schlocky ape movies to a degree but Kong to this day still manages to be in a league of his own.

Yeah…I’ll give credit where credit is due…lot of great techniques pioneered…but man oh man…is the movie boring as fuck. I’ll take King Kong any day over Citizen Kane.

I haven’t been able to find it.
