An average movie

To be honest, since this movie doesn’t really have a stellar reputation, I didn’t have some really high expectations but I have to admit that I still wanted to check it out though. Well, even if it didn’t reach the level of the awesome ‘Steve Jobs’, I still think it was a decent watch though. Of course, I’m still not convinced that Ashton Kutcher was the best choice to play one of the most influential figures of the 20th century, even if he did look like Steve Jobs a little bit. However, the fact that I saw Danny Boyle’s version before actually made me appreciate more this movie somehow. Indeed, I really enjoyed a lot Boyle’s movie but it made me really curious to learn more about Jobs and that’s exactly what this movie provided. Sure, the whole thing was a really straightforward biopic but, at least, it was quite informative. Still, you might wonder if a TV mini-series or even a TV-show wouldn’t work better because there was so much ground to cover and it did create some pacing issues. For example, at some point, Jobs was kicked out of Apple but, then, maybe 5 minutes later, he was back there again. Even more problematic were the scenes during which Jobs was displayed as a major douchebag. Indeed, pretty much out of nowhere, they would show his darker side but, then, it would never last long enough to make a real impression. To make things worse, they would show right away some other bit arguing that the guy was such an amazing genius. Anyway, to conclude, even it it was nothing really amazing, it was still a fairly interesting movie and I think it is worth a look, especially if you are interested in Steve Jobs.
