Citizen Kane

For some reason, "Citizen Kane" came up yesterday.  I don't even remember why now, but it got me to thinking.  This movie always shows up on critic's "Best" lists, sometimes even ranking #1 as the greatest American movie ever made.  But now I ask you, and the critics - having seen "Citizen Kane", is there anyone that really even likes it?  

Yes, it may be technically brilliant, with what were, at the time, new styles of editing and cinematography, and the concept of a wunderkind director writing and directing it.  And it was one of the first to try being made as an Independent movie.  But other than that, what is there to like about it? 

It's just the story of a very unlikable man, who makes everyone else around him miserable, who dies alone and unloved.  And in the end, you find out that the mystery of "Rosebud" is that it was his sled from when he was a kid, and that it was the only thing he really ever loved.  What's enjoyable about that? Perhaps everyone wants to watch it and feel depressed afterward?  

I mean, it just doesn't grab you, or make you want to see it again and again.  And worst of all, other than "Rosebud", it's really not even that quotable.  Best American movie?  Nah, I think not.
