In the final minutes of the movie I was honestly shocked that the audience didn't stand up and one by one go up to Steve Jobs and put the tip of his penis ever so delicately in their mouths while crying tears of joy but it looks like Boyle cut right before that happened. (PS: Kutcher version is like a high school drama production compared to this)

The ending was a forced attempt at redemption, but the rest of the movie was a drama that played out like a thriller. Even though each act followed the same formula and it did lose a bit of its impact, it was still pretty gripping. At times I forgot I was watching a movie, especially when Woz and Jobs were going at it. Fassbender deserves nominations, everyone else also did a great job.

Steve Jobs spends its entire runtime cementing the title human's asshole reputation, only to undermine it at the end with a half-hearted "redemption." The Social Network, Sorkin's other tech CEO pseudo-biopic, ended with a dagger through the heart, unwilling to glorify the faults of the protagonist. Steve Jobs ends with the Applause sign lighting up like it's the Tonight Show with Jay Leno. I can't help but wonder if Sorkin's personal connection to Jobs led to such an incongruous ending.

A superbly-acted stage drama summoning the acolytes and apostates of Jobs' cult of personality as a Greek chorus commenting on success, leadership, genius, and hubris. Unlike the average biopic, there is no easily digested moral lesson. Any hagiography is tempered by Sorkin's verbal fireworks, which both celebrate and scald the mercurial business mastermind.

The problem isn't Fassbender portraying Jobs, any of the cast, the script, or Boyle as director. The problem is that Jobs as a man isn't that compelling of a story. He's a tech giant but when you look at his life and personality he's no different than any other highly ambitious and successful person who acted like an asshole most of the time. There's nothing particularly introspective or enlightening about this type of portrayal. Competently done but the subject matter is dull on film.

Sorkin's script is delectable as usual, and it's incredibly well acted, as well as a worthy biography of one of the most iconic personalities of the last half century. It's biggest flaw, though, is one of its strengths: reducing a lifetime to three days of conversations adds an impressive sense of dramatic unity and economy of storytelling, but it also denies deeper layers or any real conclusions.

Steve Jobs isn't a biopic of the man, but instead an interesting, fly on the wall gloss; over three iconic product launches. Danny Boyle's direction & Aaron Sorkin's screenplay both impressively and seamlessly camaflauge the repetition of the same formulae. What Michael Fassbender does with the character is quite remarkable and Seth Rogan & Jeff Daniels also impress. But creative talents aside, ultimately I just don't think that the Steve Jobs story is particularly fascinating or impactful.

Garbage ending that undercuts the story and is an absolute lie but I'm a sucker for Sorkin arguments. Most conversations only make sense if you understand every rapid-fire detail in context, an impossible goal for anyone not already intimately knowledgable of Jobs and Apple. But I do so I thought it was great! Everyone nails their roles, terrific acting.

Steve Jobs is a good movie. It really is. Writing, acting and directing are all superb. Fassy in particular is brilliant. I'm not quite sure what the problem here and what the missing element is. Maybe I don't care a Steve Jobs biopic enough. And also I'm not sure if it is good writing that portraying your main character as an asshole for the whole movie and then trying to compensate it in the last 10 min by showing how kindhearted he is. I didn't buy that but everyone else did apparently.

The too-sentimental ending doesn't kill everything that worked before, and it's enough in line with what came before to be passable. But the purestrain Sorkin dialogue and killer performances shine the most, and when you've set out to make 'Heated Conversations: The Movie', that's a winning combo. Everyone's gonna talk up Fassbender, but I want to also give props to Seth Rogen for perfectly capturing the affability, principles, and underlying touch of sadness that makes Steve Wozniak The Woz.

Sorkinese is the language of Apple in the new biopic that attempts to correct what the previous films have desperately gotten wrong. Fassbender is incredible, Danny Boyle's directing is energetic and busy despite the monochromatic ways of Mr. Jobs, and the writing; oh the writing. It is sharp, it is quick, it is nonstop, it is elegant, beautiful, and on point. This is two hours of dialogue and I couldn't get enough of it.

It's really hard not to compare it to The Social Network, and I didn't think it was anywhere near as good. I didn't think Sorkin's screenplay for this film was as strong. The dialogue was good, but not spectacular, and it just wasn't as dark and interesting. The structure was cool, but possibly would've been more suited to a stage production. Fassbender shows once again how talented he is. I liked it, but it wasn't amazing, and not what I'd call a 'must-see'.

The screenplay and direction doesn't hesitate in portraying Jobs' uncompromising personality, making a picture that doesn't idolize him but explores his conflictual journey. It's fast, passionate and makes for a great foundation of strong performances. Fassbender really steals it with great support from Winslet and Daniels. Unfortunately it feels like it's running the same formula over and over, too turbulent, blown out of proportions and a sense it deviates from reality on too many occasions.

I don't know much about the man so I can't comment on how accurate this film is in its portrayal of him, but I will say that it feels like the film pulls no punches. Sorkin paints Jobs as a human perceived to be inhuman due to his flaws that constantly come to the surface and are reflected in the products he displays. At times, though, the writing seems a bit forced, and the structure of the film doesn't always work along with Boyle's canted shots. But it is still a really good introspection.

A portrait of Steve Jobs (Michael Fassbender) through the prism of three product launches: the Lisa, the NeXT, and the iMac. You could hardly ask for a better cast, and the production is generally top-notch, but Aaron Sorkin's script falters in its three-act structure, which makes for a repetitive and ultimately somewhat shallow film. But with Fassbender's charismatic performance at the helm, it's a frequently gripping one. It's just not THE SOCIAL NETWORK, and it wants to be.

"Its not binary". What a sentence. What a simple, yet maybe even true thought, that couldn't even be destroyed by this bizarrely sugarcoating ending. The question is not: Who was Steve Jobs? The question is: Who are we, that we make Steve Jobs our savior? Someone, who understood us (aka marketing!) so well, that he thought, he had to portray the asshole-by-choice Sorkin always wants to see in his leads, to follow our perceptions of the torn-nasty-genius.

Sorkin's excellent screenplay along with Boyle's masterful directing cover up a lot of the flaws that plague most life to death biopics. Centering around 3 different product launches does make it somewhat contrived but the contrivances are quickly forgotten due in part to the myriad of great performances especially Fassbender's mesmerizing portrayal of Jobs. The only thing stopping this from being a 100 is the ending. Despite being well done the tonal shift ultimately makes me question it.

Big Sorkin fan, and this was probably my most anticipated non-Star Wars/James Bond/Rocky movie of the year, but I'll admit being a LITTLE disappointed - I enjoyed it start to finish, groovin' on Sorkin's dialogue (the Jobs/Wozniak scenes were especially electric), could've happily watched a fourth vignette, though it's hardly a patch on The Social Network (still one of the five best films so far this decade). Its attempts at delving into the complexity of Jobs' psyche come off a little simple.

Steve Jobs is the Steve Jobs biopic to watch, letting you easily forget another one that is better off not being mentioned ever again. Despite taking place well into Jobs' adult life, and being set in just three days, this is a movie that gets you into the man's head, lets you watch his interactions with all of the key players in his life, and provides a funny, entertaining movie while balancing all of these various elements.

A little bit different that what I had expected. Instead of telling the life and death of Steve Job's, we get an inside look at three critical points in his life both successful and unsuccessful. The entire cast is great, especially a surprisingly strong performance from Rogen. It can be a little Sorkin-y at times but you should already know what you've signed up for.

The talent is so great its easy 2 not notice the film keeps covering the same ground. Except for the last act, which has the only scenes which seem contrived 4 a "happy" ending, the Jobs portrayed here is mostly binary: a megalomaniac or intermittently concerned father. Despite this, it's refreshing to watch its deconstruction of the marketed myth of "visionary genius" and give credit to all the legitimately brilliant people this a--hole boss built his reputation on. Thank you, Wozniak!

Much like the title character, the film is one prolonged struggle from a director and screenwriter battling their worst tendencies to try and put together some spark of magic. There are some moments that get really close to dismantling the mythos of the genius in the garage, but hard for everything to align when so much of it is basically a music video for an open mic session. Daniels and Rogen impressively hold their own against A-game Fassbender.

Decent acting performances (not great), which is disappointing considering the talented cast. As a fan of Winslet specifically, it was cringey seeing her deliver the majority of her lines. This film has a horribly boring, bland script. I know very little about Apple or Jobs; unfortunately, the screenwriters seemed to know just about as much. What I didn't know, I didn't care to know. Jobs really isn't all that interesting of a person. Maybe in 2115 this film would work, but it's too soon.

Real good. Fassbender is pitch perfect. Sorkin's script, as usual, is unique in its take and rhythmic in its exploration through dialogue. Every scene becomes riveting because the actors are hitting Sorkin's notes so flawlessly. Boyle employs one neat idea into each scene to remind us there's a director behind this (also dug the different film used for each section). But yeah, Fassbender and Sorkin are the truest stars here.

Pleasant surprise and makes a good companion piece to Social Network. I was skeptical how Boyle's energetic directing style would suit this, but he keeps it restrained and let's the script and actors do the heavy work. The structure of the film taking place during product launches works surprisingly well and while some parts seem a bit simplified I was generally impressed and thought that the film doesn't try to make Jobs too likable nor does it try to milk emotions by following his last days.

Artfully filmed, the pre-product launch setting blends nicely the personal and vocational aspects of Jobs' life (though it does start to feel a little contrived the third time around), adds a thrilling sense of urgency to the proceedings (highlighted by a barrage of whip-cracking dialogue), and makes for a uniquely and appreciably focused biopic that aims to capture his character instead of his whole life story (it certainly hits its mark, but its focus is compromised a bit with the flashbacks.

"It's not binary. You can be decent and gifted at the same time."
OK. Doesn't make sense (if you know what binary means :D), but it's a cool line anyway. Hence, very much a trademark of Sorkins'.
At first Jobs' reasonable moments seemed odd, but in the end him being less of a douche actually works despite movie's earlier laying out of why Macs are basically ill-conceived products people only buy because they look pretty and are advertised well.

Everything about this clicks for me, the format allows for the writing to shine and the writing is the best he's done since quitting West Wing. The actors chew into the words with glee and Boyle stages it all to great effect. A joy, which is not a word I thought I'd use about two hours which are essentially all talk.

Oh Sorkin you, sly dog, another craftily written script. In all seriousness though, the dialogue is smart and nifty, however I found it all to be a tad tedious. From the characters (Jobs, king of Doucheland) to the 'grand releases' and all the drama attached to it. Fassbender shines however and acts himself up to stellar heights no douche has ever gone before. Stay classy, Fassy. All in all SJ is quite an okay watch, Danny Boyle does what he can, but in the end I can't help but think, care?

Peculiar narration, decent story, great dialogue, great directing, great acting. The first act is a bit loose but after that it's on a roll.

Decent. Michael Fassbender gives a brilliant performance. Perhaps a bit odd - I am not sure exactly how they were trying to portray Steve Jobs. The story is a bit lacking.

Just as in The Social Network Aaron Sorkin manages to create a really good script out of a nonexistant story. But even with great writing, acting and directing they cannot hide the fact, that there is not much of interest to tell.

so distant so cold... Sorkin's "walk with me" dialogues kind of got boring, nothing original.. Even a great actor like Fassbender couldnt find an opportunity to shine... Good movie but so much missed opportunity

Fassbender is indeed compelling. Wish I hadn't missed the first 7 minutes. Gotta gettin reading the authorized biography. Wish I'd bought that stock in 98....

While I've never found the story of Steve Jobs to be particularly compelling, the tight script and solid performances make this biopic worth watching.

Offensively bad. Even decent performances couldn't elevate a supremely ignorant and toothless script and blind direction. I expected this from Sorkin, but not Boyle.

The dialog is for the most part top notch as always from Sorkin, but some of the decisions made with the pacing and the art direction detract from it overall. I was a bit disappointed, but it's a good effort.
