Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
Glimmerubro It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.
Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
Tymon Sutton The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
jimanuel12 i don't care what the critics said about the movie and i don't care what the trolls on here think. this was Ashton Kutcher's best acting performance in my opinion. i thought he did a great job of portraying Steven Jobs. i also thought the movie itself was a very good movie - going back to the beginning and then at the end in 2001 when Steve jobs brought Apple back. Ashton had the jobs walk down pat - he also shows what a butt hole Steve Jobs was at times - especially when he was young. i just wish that movie would have went further into job's life at the end. he brought Apple back with the iPhone and then he got sick. he did finally make up with his daughter that he denied for so many years but i think as he got older - he was a better man and father. anyway - i think if you want to know the real Steve Jobs - then Jobs is a great movie. it is well worth the time to watch and enjoy. i myself - well i loved it.
duncanclarinet I love Apple products. Unfortunately, this was a very boring movie with very little emotional or technical interest. Many scenes contain slow drawn out conversations and long pauses. And after enduring all of that the movie ends abruptly. I was dying to see more of how Jobs grew the company into the biggest in the world but it never appeared. Most of the focus was on board (or should I say BORED) meetings and personal exchanges. Disappointing.
Unhelpful Yoda I'm not a big fan of Ashton Kutcher so I wasn't really looking forward to watching this film, but I was interested in Steve Jobs. The movie starts off slow in my opinion and at times it seemed to drag on a little. I don't think Ashton Kutcher was right to play this part. While he bears a resemblance to Steve Jobs I don't think he fully pulled it off. I didn't like the scene where he tells his pregnant girlfriend to leave and subsequently denies the girl is his daughter, that seemed very shallow to me.Obviously he eventually has a relationship with his daughter. If Steve Jobs was really like that in real life then he wasn't the most nicest person. He seemed like a very intense person who if things didn't go his way then he flipped out. I haven't seen the other Steve Jobs film yet but I'm hoping it's better than this one. I think Ashton should stick to romantic comedies and well... Comedies.
Dave McClain It must be difficult for an actor to convincingly portray a world famous person whose death only two years before means that his image is still relatively fresh in the public consciousness. It must also be pretty tough for filmmakers to portray the life of an iconic figure in the space of two hours. I give "Jobs" (PG-13, 2:02) credit for accomplishing one of those two tasks. (In addition, there was the pressure of knowing that another version of the film was being written by the highly-esteemed Aaron Sorkin.) When it comes to portraying the legend who co-founded Apple computers, Ashton Kutcher does an excellent… Jobs. The actor uses his natural resemblance to the computer genius and adds just enough of Steve Jobs' voice, mannerisms and walk to help us (mostly) forget that we're watching Ashton Kutcher, but he doesn't overdo it by trying to do a perfect impression which could have crossed over into caricature. This film represents some of Kutcher's best work to date, but not quite award worthy.Unfortunately, the script isn't strong enough to give us the whole picture of Steve Jobs' remarkable life. As the film traces the rise, the fall, and then the beginning of the resurrection of Apple the computer brand, the focus is divided too much between the company and the man. If you know more about the life of Steve Jobs, you'll be disappointed when you realize you're not getting to see the full arc of his life. The film would have been better off calling itself "Apple", but even then, I would have found it lacking.This film reminded me of "The Social Network", but without the same level of entertainment in its storytelling. The supporting actors, including Josh Gad as Apple's other founder, Steve Wozniak, Dermot Mulroney, as initial Apple financier and eventual CEO Mike Markkula, and Matthew Modine as John Scully, Markkula's successor as CEO, show the passion that those closest to the company have for Apple, but the film is supposedly about Steve Jobs. While the script does touch on some of Jobs' personal life, it seems much more concerned with the company that he helped start. "Jobs" may give us a measure of the man, but doesn't do the best job at telling his STORY. Doing the best job I can as a reviewer (while still doing my other… jobs), I give this one a "B".
