Very well executed

Did you people see the same film I saw?

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

So, OK, I'm quite sure there are a lot of negative "Apple Fan Boy" reviews on here because this film doesn't present the prettiest of pictures of Steve Jobs, but that's the point, you don't get to be someone like Steve Jobs by being Mr Nice Guy, and not being fanatical. Someone on here stated that the film has a narrow focus, which is the complete opposite of what the film is. The film covers the development of Apple as a business, it's highs and lows whilst focusing, where necessary on pockets of Steve's personal life. Things the film doesn't really fully focus in on rightly or wrongly is how far ahead they were in terms of usability in the early years of personal computing, and there's little attention paid to the competition catching up. I do think however the film captures well the fanaticism of Steve which was a positive and negative thing, interestingly the film shows him as very business like early on, but when the company grows significantly I think it could be argued that it started to fail because Steve was so fanatical they couldn't get new products to market in time and at the right price. Development work was taking to long and becoming too expensive, all captured in this movie. Given the time period covered the makers did a good job on covering the highs and lows of arguably one of the most important tech companies in the world which was linked in with Jobs all the way until his passing. Where Apple goes in the future without Jobs at the helm remains to be seen, but the future is unlikely to generate anymore films covering an individual at the centre of Apple.

You work for a huge corporation. This is a typical week in your life. You go to work and do a lot of overtime, with pleasure, because you are a workaholic.Your boss is brilliant, but also a bit of an ass**le. He shouts a lot and fires some of your colleagues. Other colleagues resign. You have lots of meetings.Some of your products make huge profits, others do not. On Friday your boss announces the launch of a new product. The end.-----------------------------------------While it may be thrilling to purchase your next Apple gadget, learning how they came to exist and some stuff about the man behind the corporation is just this much fun.

Want to hate someone? want to learn how to have utter contempt for a man? just watch this film. its that easy. Ashton Kutcher is a good actor, but not for this film. He comes off as an angry intellectual Kelso from that 70's show. The film presents Steve jobs and a manipulative, cruel, angry, insulting prick who abuses his brilliant friends abilities to pursue riches and obsession. If that was the real Jobs then the world is cleaner in his passing. If no this film should publish an apology to his friends and family. In this film: (spoiler alert!) you can watch Steve jobs - alienate his girlfriend - deny his daughter - brow beat and cheat his friends and employers - violently over react to logic - abuse and steal ideas and claim them for his own. - repeatedly steal from Woz. A grim telling of what seems like the life of a bad person, jumpy, sloppy in presentation, over dramatic and brooding, even every camera shot seems too intense. Its like a gritty dramatic suspense, without any reason for suspense.a shoddy film that anyone involved in should be ashamed of.

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.
