Yeah, I've also encountered some weird snobs who said they loved it, almost certainly because they thought they were supposed to. You probably understand better what's special about it than those who pretend to just find it enjoyable from a modern point of view. To summarize what I think: it's a stellar, incredible picture, it's just not all that entertaining because its inventions have since been further developed and we have more enjoyable stuff now.

I really enjoy citizen Kane for the same reason I really enjoy reading classic literature or seeing old art. It sparks joy to see art and try to imagine the environment it was produced. Noone reads War of the Worlds, The Time Machine or anything by Jules Verne or Asimov and expects a The Expanse or similar modern scifi
