I have heard that Her was really good, and it dealt with similar themes, so that might have gotten people's hopes up.
I liked Her, but it was quite a different story. Her was not about an emulation, but about a constructed AI. A significant part of the piquancy of Transcendence is the "how human is he" aspect. In general, an AI from an emulation should be a lot less predictable than a constructed AI, since with emulation you are uploading all sorts of pieces without necessarily understanding them, while with a constructed AI you can skip anything you don't need and build all sorts of clunky hacks to make it appear as you want it.
Her did not address an AI becoming powerful and active in human affairs at all, rather an interesting theme of Transcendence.
From what I've heard, Her featured the "AI are people like us" Phlebotinum, but that's Phlebotinum, and they did pass the first test of not having the AIs be evil people.
