Unbelievable

Rating: 1/10 (14 February 2015)

I never thought a movie could be this bad; Her is pure pretentious crap. The plot is ridiculous or worse, some of the acting is over the top and some is wooden, it is voyeuristic (Do we really need to see a naked pregnant woman, what does that add to the story other than voyeurism.), it is very boring (I fell asleep twice, only to wake up to hear everyone talking about f#@$%ng.
This type of pretentiousness is overbearing. Obviously, most IMDb readers are enamored with this kind of crap. Jonze's choice of "Jonze" as his name, versus Adam Spiegel his real name, is a demonstration of the pretentiousness of which I speak. His other work, Being John Malkovich and Adaptation are marginally better than Her, but only marginally, i.e. a rating of 2 to 3. Great directors such as Ford, Kazan, Wilder, Hitchcock, Scorsese, Capra, Coppolo, Wyler, Stevens, Altman, Spielberg, etc., made great movies, that told stories, pulled the audiences into the characters, described conflict, love, and the like. Jonze has directed or written junk, full of profanity, nonsense, etc. He is much like Tarentino, Rodriguez and similar directors that critics and love but to me are grossly over-rated. If Her is rated 8.0, then Kazan's On the Waterfront should rate 100. I rated Her a 1, since a 0 rating is not available.
