I feel an intelligent person would have actually something better to say than that.
I don't know that I feel somebody wouldn't be intelligent simply because they spoke like that. I would say that maybe they aren't great at expressing themselves. If I were to say 'like in a movie' I would be talking about something specific which had been so similar to an actual scene in an actual film that I would feel the comparison was warranted. Some people just aren't fantastic at expressing themselves but it doesn't mean they aren't intelligent overall.
