I don’t want people to dislike me. I’m indifferent to if they dislike me,” says Jobs. Well, this won’t be for everyone but it dazzles. Markedly better than Ashton Kutcher’s Jobs…

A deliriously quick-footed and orchestrally pitched character study, Steve Jobs is an ambitious, deeply captivating portrait of the high cost of genius.

Screenplay by Aaron Sorkin and the acting performances by Michael Fassbender, Kate Winslet and Seth Rogen are enough to give this movie 10 stars out of 10, not mentioning the editing, the cinematography and costume&decorations design

A great movie, even without the famous name of Steve Jobs this film would be an entertaining watch

It strips away the myth and icon and reveals Jobs for the hustler-huckster he was, just a smooth, smiling turtleneck, trying to sell us something. In many ways, his film makes all other Jobs movies unnecessary.

While at times too over-the-top and operatic for its own good, those same flawed ingredients echo the rough edges that define the movie's iconic subject.

Danny Boyle's movie is meticulously crafted to artful specifications, written in Aaron Sorkin's torrential style and acted to perfection by a superb ensemble. Yet like Jobs' NeXT Cube in 1988, there's one obvious question that isn't satisfactorily answered: What does it do?

It's exhausting, impressionistic, and ultimately hollow, extraordinarily well-acted but not nearly as relevant as "The Social Network."

There’s no humanity in this grave disappointment that justifies the passion his fans feel for the father of the iMac. Steve Jobs and all of the characters around him fail to come to life in any absorbing fashion. They’re not real people; they’re all hashtags.

The film is almost like an Apple product itself; it's smart, streamlined, aesthetically pleasing, and very accessible. It also has plenty of dark humour and genuine emotion to spare.

First, I have to mention about accomplished acting of Michael Fassbender and Seth Rogen who is usually known for his roles in comedy movies. I can say that the movie couldn't live up to my expectations. It would be more appropriate if the name of the movie was "Steve Jobs: Macintosh and Lisa" for the sake of meeting the viewers' expectations. Because, his marriage, relationship with Pixar, his illness and many important subjects were not mentioned in the movie.

Great cast and excellent acting but there's no story, it's just long scenes mostly focusing on three launches of products, the Macintosh, the NEXT Cube, and the iMac, and some of his relationship or non relationship with his daughter. Most of what I know about Steve Jobs is from this movie but even with what little I know I get the feeling that this movie tried to make him look like a better person than he was. It's really sad that we give free passes to losers like him.

Incredibly boring film. It seems Jobs spent his entire life attending new product presentations. I don't like Apple products but I wanted to know more about this extraordinary man - unfortunately I feel I learned nothing about him from this 2 hours of tedium.
