"Jobs" is the story of American inventor Steve Jobs and the struggle of him trying to make Apple successful. The acting in this movie was...okay to say the least. I wasn't impressed with Ashton Kutcher's portrayal of Steve Jobs. Did he look the part? Yes. But he did not execute the character very well. However Josh Gad was fantastic in this movie. Josh Gad as Steve Wozniak was a fantastic choice, he really captured the essence of a slacker the felt very real. I thought Matthew Modline as John Sculley was good and J.K. Simmons as Arthur Rock was also good. But Ashton Kutcher was not a very good Steve Jobs when it comes to Steve Jobs as a person.The cinematography in this film was also okay. Jobs isn't a movie where its supposed to have amazing cinematography but it still could use some tweaking. They could've added some close-up shots of the technology the characters were working on. There was also a lot shot-reverse-shot too which bugged me. Also the camera did get a little bit shaky at times too.The costumes/make-up in this movie were fantastic. They made Ashton Kutcher look like Steve Jobs. And the clothing was great too it looked like what people in office settings wore in the late 1900s to a t.The sets in this movie looked outstanding. Where Steve Jobs was at his home in certain scenes, the house looked beautiful and office buildings looked ideal. The rainbow Apple logo throughout gave a sense of nostalgia which was great as well.The story in this movie is based on a true story but it is not executed in a very good way. The plot wasn't very detailed or very complex. Steve Jobs marriage issues wasn't touched on as much as I hoped they would be. They didn't explore the friendship of Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak very much either.All in all, Jobs is an okay movie that I think doesn't deserve much hate but definitely deserves some criticism.

i saw this movie after I've seen Steve Jobs the movie. While I thought Steve Jobs was unfair in it's portrayal of Steve Jobs, I found this movie closer to the legend of Steve Jobs that I grew up with.Although the movie was not meant to be the biography of Steve Jobs, I thought it did credence to the man Steve Jobs really was.Ashton Kutcher really looked like Jobs when he was younger, and his acting captured what it would have been like to be around Jobs in the nascent years at Apple. So I give higher mark for this movie than the other Steve Jobs movie for the truism it has about the person and career of Steve Jobs. Oh, did I mention that this movie was fun to watch ?

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.

I've seen this film and the one starring Michael Fassbender, "Steve Jobs". The difference between the two is this - This film shows a great deal of Steve's' life, with a real accent on the mid to late 70s as Apple was being created. The Fassbender film only shows three specific scenes in Steve's life, but by the time the film is through, even though Fassbender does not even resemble Steve Jobs, you feel like you are looking right at him because of Fassbender's electrifying performance. In "Jobs" Kutcher may be made up to look and walk like Jobs, but I never feel like I am getting into the head of Steve Jobs.What does this film do well? The first half of it captures the look and feel of early home computing in a totally realistic way - the kind of people who were involved, the way that they dressed, what early homemade personal computers in the 1970s looked like. What did they look like? It was like the first cars when they were called "horseless carriages" because that's what people AND the inventors understood as the old paradigm. The horse was being replaced with an engine and the rest of the car looked like carriages always had looked. So the earliest computers had switches and lights and sat in unattractive blue boxes that engineers thought were great, but the average person had no idea what to do with such a thing and didn't want one.What did this film do poorly? I'd say Steve Wozniak is presented as a mere shadow of himself here. You never see the camaraderie or dynamic between himself and Jobs. The old Home Brew Club looked up to Wozniak, and when he presents the first "Apple" computer to them they just look bored and Woz looks scared.Finally I come to Ashton Kutcher. Ashton Kutcher's problem is that he did one of his earliest roles so well and so long - that of mega screw up Kelso in the long running TV comedy "That 70's Show". He did it so well in fact that I ALWAYS see Kelso whenever I see Kutcher, no matter how well he is performing. In this film I kept waiting for his 70's Show girlfriend, alpha female attack dog Jackie, to come jumping out of a dark corner and start yelling at him and tell him what a screw up he is. Kutcher can't help this. I call it "Norman Bates Syndrome" - the same thing that happened to Anthony Perkins. No matter what role Anthony Perkins took after Psycho, no matter how well he did it, he was always Norman Bates. You just kept waiting for him to hit somebody over the head and start preparing the body to add to his collection of stuffed animals/people.This is not a terrible film on Jobs. Nobody does a bad job, and it is interesting from a history of personal computing perspective. I'd say see this one for the history, and watch the Fassbender rendition in "Steve Jobs" to get a feel for the essence of the man, who will always remain somewhat of an enigma.
