To me, this movie is perfection.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

I saw the movie and I loved it. For me it doesn't really matter if it is truthfull or not so truthfull about Steve Jobs; it is a movie so I consider it as pure entertainment and it did entertain me a lot. Also I thought Ashton Kutcher is doing a good acting job on this movie as well as the other actors; especially Dermot Mulroney stands out as Mike Markkula.All with all; it is a movie and not the official biography of Steve Jobs.

There is no much to say about this. After only 3 minutes in you realize this is going to suck! the first couple of minutes should set the tone for the movie. should tell you what to expect from the rest. Good examples for this are "Scream". The Intro with Drew Barrymore totally gets you in the mood and tells you what to except the remaining 90 minutes or so. Here the first couple ob Minutes are boring as hell. Bad Camera. Mediocre Acting and it already feels totally boring. thats exactly how the movie continues... Your best bet would be to ignore this movie and go straight to watching the 2015 Steve Jobs Movie instead

The entrepreneur is one of the incarnation of the new American Hero in movies, and it is not surprising that the people who made the Personal Computer and the Internet part of the basic fabric of our lives, and turned Silicon Valley in the center of the technological Universe are getting more and more attention from the Southern neighbors in Hollywood. Steve Jobs has his turn as one of these heroes, his premature death in 2011 made of his character an easier to deal with. Easier because he is no longer here to sue anybody, and also because his malady and than death gave an implicit tragic substance to a life of full of achievements but also of personal controversies. As I have seen in one weekend days both feature films dedicated lately to his biography I have the feeling that none of them would have been possible if Jobs had been still with us.At first sight 'Jobs' directed by Joshua Michael Stern would be the most conventional of the two biographical movies. It starts with one epic moment of success (the launching of iPod which changed forever the music industry) to go back in time to the late 60s when the young Jobs was searching his ways in life among music, India, some drugs, girls. He was different, he was thinking a creative way, but we never get a real glimpse of his technology or design insights. The script written by Matt Whiteley seems rather to emphasize his astonishing business skills, doubled by recognition of talent that can be used in other people, and a set of no-prisoners tools which guided him in his career as well in his personal life. The Steve Jobs in this 'Jobs' is almost a persona we are invited to hate.What keeps him away from the ugly negative characters space is the acting of Ashton Kutcher. I have read so many bad things about him that his performance in 'Jobs' comes as a real surprise. He succeeds not only to recover many of the physical characteristics of the character, but also gave substance and charm to many of the moments of the film, especially in the first part that deals with the early years. Do we come closer to understanding the real Steve Jobs? I do not think so, but I believe that the problem is in the script and not in the acting, which did not walk the extra mile of trying to discover and explain the motivation of the man and the secrets of his extraordinary skills. Yet, while dealing only with the external strata, the film is quite successful in my opinion in retracing the atmosphere of a time where the flower power revolution resulted not only in fabulous music but also in a wave of inventiveness which changed the world in a different place than intended.Would Steve Jobs have liked this film? I doubt it, and not only because he personally comes out as the rather jerky character in the story. He may also have said - 'I have already seen this', fired the team and go deal with the next thing. That was Steve Jobs.

Other than practically nailing their likenesses, the actors are not good at representing their counterparts, at all. Dialogues are filled with awkward behavior, characters talk like they seem to be inspired, in particular Steve Jobs (I know it's a dramatization, but it's a bad one at that), sometimes they talk with the volume too low, among many others.Also, if they wished to show incorrect or downright manipulated scenes (A.K.A. events or details that didn't actually happen in real-life), they could at least do it for the sake of dramatizing it, like The Social Network did really well: all of the changes in this movie from real-life events aren't of any decent value and just feel like they don't belong in either a Biographic film, where the main objective is to tell exactly what happened (or at least "mostly"), or a Biopic, which is what this is supposed to be.Overall, not a good depiction of Steve Jobs's life, and not a good movie in and of itself.
