Best movie ever!

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

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

The movie ended before it should have, in my opinion. It didn't cover the last 15 or so years of his life, which was very productive. He introduced IPads, IPods, iPhone and none of this was covered in the movie.

The Social Network meets Hamlet in this biopic that limits the action to three product launches in the early history of Apple. The whole film takes place indoors, except for a climatic scene of change and redemption that moves outdoors. This is the one directorial flourish in a film limited by its locations, and Sorkin's trademark need to have characters stand around barking eloquently at each other. The acting is very good, with Seth Rogan carrying particular appeal. The directing is straitjacketed in the limited locations. Sorkin's dialogue and characterisation, so finely done in The Social Network, does not stand up here. Everyone sounds like Sorkin, which one becomes weary of after a while. A different writer bringing more nuanced characterisation and idiosyncrasy to the dialogue might have served this project better.

This movie, this movie is about the founder of the Empire of Apple and the creator of the device which I was using to watch the movie itself. Not knowing pretty much about this great guy, Steve Jobs, might in a way help you enjoy this movie to tell you his life and story in a very remarkable way. Truly, it was a remarkable way to tell you Jobs' life by showing the audience what happened before his 3 famous speeches. No critic can deny that it was a new way to learn a well-known person. Of course, some might like the movie very much while others blamed the filmmakers for this terrible idea. This movie might be able to be turned into a play since one's life is a play .However, I guess few people (especially the Apple fans) would see it.Apart from this new way, the relationship between Steve and Lisa was also an attraction. In the movie, the chemistry worked to me. The movie showed how Steve changed his attitude towards her daughter (whether true or not). He began to like Lisa when he found out that she drew a picture on a Mac, which Jobs later told Lisa that he still remembered closing to the end of the movie. And Joanna Hoffman (played by Kate Winslet) in this movie was also a key to this relationship, who was truly a good helper to Jobs.Finally, although most of my friends actually don't use a Mac, I could still feel the hard working of Mr. Jobs' pushing himself to perform better upon his beautiful and sufficient products in this movie. There is no denying that such IT leaders' perseverance allowed most people in this world able to sit comfortably in front of a computer to type a movie review or just watch a movie called Steve Jobs.

Screenwriter Aaron Sorkin, in reference to this movie, was once quoted as saying, "(Steve Jobs) is not a photograph it's a painting."After reading the book and then recently seeing the movie, I would agree. Walter Isaacson's authorized biography of Steve Jobs is a favorite of mine and the movie is pretty good, but no where near as detailed.The movie is not really 'Steve Jobs'; he was so much more than the asshole portrayed in the movie. Yes, true (as Isaacson's bluntly objective book confirms) Jobs was a massive jerk; a sometimes mean, vicious, sarcastic person who believed he was God's gift to computers, and a ruthless businessman. He wasn't a code-writer or an engineer. He was a visionary. He knew what we wanted before we wanted it. His mind was years ahead of technology. Kurt Cobain changed the face of music; Steve Jobs changed the face of computing forever (I don't own a single iThing) and he did it his way.Writer Sorkin did an excellent job adapting Isaacson's book for the screen, doing it in three acts that coincide with three of Jobs' biggest business 'accomplishments': The introduction of the Macintosh (1984), NeXT (1988), and the iMac (1998). (The NeXT was a disaster. A $13,000 - in today's dollars - perfectly square useless brick. But, fun-fact, the inventor of the World Wide Web, Tim Berners-Lee, used a NeXTcube to run the world's first webserver!). There was so much to Jobs' life and so many more people in his life detailed in the book, that it must have been a difficult adaptation for Sorkin. However, the point was taken – Jobs was a brilliant, albeit flawed person.It's fun to watch the movie, and it's faced-paced so you won't be looking for the 'NeXT' scene button. Take it for what it is, a subjective portrait.
