It Will Rain by Bruno Mars

And I thought the last one was bad.  Silly me.  The last one actually had the two people on screen for the majority of the video.  In this one, the main guy (presumably Bruno) really, really, REALLY likes a certain pose.  So much so that he sings into a microphone in the same pose for the majority of the video.  The rest is of him and a woman hugging and possibly doing a bit more.  It would have been more interesting if he had showed his cat chasing a laser for four minutes and twenty-seven seconds.

1 point if the music video in question has very good dancing or no dancing.
He dances a bit.  It is very plain and hard to distinguish as dancing, and so is either really bad dancing or no dancing.  I'll be generous and give it a half a point.
1 point if the music video has no dancing.
The same half point is still applying here.
1 point if the music video has something from the beginning come into play at the end.
Not in the least.
1 point if the music video has a series of related images, a theme, or a plotline.
It's basically a still photograph that sings.  The images of him and the girl are also quite unrelated.  No point.
1 point if the music video has a theme or a plotline.
Not even close.
1 point if the music video has a plotline.
Here's the plotline.  You're sitting in front of your computer when you see an incredibly awesome blog.  It mentions a certain music video, and you click the link before reading it.  Unfortunately, it really can't hold your interest.  You go off, get a sandwich, and come back.  The music video is ending.  "Thank goodness," you say, and go read the review.  You then show the blog to all of your friends.

1 point if the music video is either depicts extreme coolness or extreme realism.
No.
1 point if the music video, if it has a plotline or theme, has no diversions from it.
Would "sometimes he moves" count as a diversion?  I think so.
1 point if the music video does something that makes you think. 
It gave my mind plenty of time to wander, but that's not really the meaning of this point. 
1 point to spare in case I really like it.
No.


This video gets a 0.5/10.  
I am HIGHLY up for suggestions for music videos to review.
