Beg to differ
While the ending of CK rounds the film off nicely, it's a (deliberately) unsatisfactory explanation of Kane's persona. It does however give us a lot to go on on a second (and third, fourth...) viewing, letting us slowly but surely approach the character from multiple angles without ever getting up close. The entire narration fucking rocks.
We may be talking about the same thing, though. I'm not sure whether you're saying "the twist at the end was cool" or "the ending reflects back on the entire story, adding another aspect to it".
