Reply to comment by SavingsService2138 in Why can't Terminator 2 be considered one of the greatest movie of all time ? by SavingsService2138

Citizen Kane is a better film. I don’t think Jim Cameron is losing sleep at night.

Is it? I was bored out of my mind watching it

I think King Kong is better and should have the 1st spot. But oh no it got a giant gorilla, film critics can't snort while drinking red wine and see movie like that. It has to be talkie, nothing happens and bore you to death to be worth something

King Kong is a great film that is also universally praised by critics.

You mentioned the AFI. They listed it as the 41st best movie of all time.

Citizen Kane is one of the greats for filmmaking. It did amazing things with the camera that is still being used to this day. It's not something everyone can appreciate. Once I looked into why citizen Kane was good I was able to appreciate it more.

With that being said I would rather watch T2 but there is more to a movie froma critic standpoint then just your general feeling of enjoyment.
