Review of Jobs (2013) by Joyde G — 03 Apr 2014

Jobs is an interesting film, but it's got a lot of flaws, and I'd say it's good at best, but just like the first stage of good. Some parts are historically inaccurate and some of the periods Jobs worked on after being fired from Apple in 1985 were left out, like NeXT and Pixar.

Jobs, as you can see, is the biopic of Apples cofounder and computer visionary Steve Jobs, starting from the building of the Apple I in a garage in 1976 until the unveiling of the iPod in 2001. It's interesting, but also makes you question if that's the way it really happened.

Like I said, Jobs is to me, an at least good film, but there's a few problems. I just couldn't get used to Kutcher as Jobs, it didn't work right for me and it felt a bit unreal. He looks like him, sure, but there were parts that I felt Kutcher either overacted or underacted. What I do like is how they didn't overexaggerate on how Jobs was the perfect role model, they showed parts where he could be an ass to some people. Most biopics never have the guts to do that, like their figure never did wrong. But Jobs felt awkward at points, but it was interesting to watch.
