Please read if you're considering rating this film a 1 ....

Rating: 8/10 (7 October 2014)

I joined this community because I have a true love for film. I assumed that most people who took the time to join a website and discuss films would share the same passion. That said, I've come to realize that simply isn't true. Any person who has the slightest bit of respect for the art would never consider rating a movie so low. I don't care what movie it is. But it's particularly perplexing to me when I see an angry mob of people rating a movie like "Her" a "1 out of 10". If for no other reason - the director invested his time, energy, and probably a lot of his own personal feelings into writing the script for this film (which most directors don't) and then directing it.
This project consumed his life for who knows how long. Taste in movies, just like music, is subjective. You may not like an actor, plot, style, genre etc. You may think a movie is grossly overrated...Like I did The Avengers. I thought it was silly and beating a dead horse. Obviously I could see aspects that demand respect..despite it not appealing to me personally. Rating a movie that low is more a testament to the type of person you are, than a review of the film itself. There's the argument that the reasoning behind your hatred is to bring what YOU think is too high a score. Why not score it what you truly believe it to be? Which cannot rationally be a 1...even if you hated it.
I can't believe I have to gripe about this. I can't believe people are so immature. Rate the movie as an intelligent person who respects the art and the time and passion invested in it. I can honestly say I don't see myself ever rating a movie so low, save for a pro rape or racist propaganda film. Grow up, people. Thx.
