Just Okay

Steve Jobs takes an interesting look at this man's life. This is by no means great, but it a solid movie.
The highlight was obviously Michael Fassbender. He rightfully got an Oscar nomination as he turned out a great performance as Jobs. His acting is authentic and he really connected with the dialogue throughout. He really was fantastic. Kate Winslet and Seth Rogen were both good as well, but I honestly think Winslet's performance is a tad overrated. She was average. Rogen put in a better performance than I expected. Who knew Rogan could act in a drama?? He was definitely a pleasant surprise.
The writing was also pretty well done. The dialogue was presented well as the story unfolded. The conversations moved along quickly, but seemed realistic. There were plenty of eye opening moments that really spoke to who Steve Jobs was, or how they wanted to present him at least. The only downfall was some slow parts. There were a few lull moments that really took away from the story. I found myself losing some interest.
One complaint was the lack of Woz. I wanted more of his story to combat Steve Jobs' story. Rogen did an excellent job portraying Woz, and he was obviously a huge part of the business. His lack of involvement was disappointing.
Steve Jobs is really worth the watch. The acting was very nicely done and the story was pretty well presented. This is by no means a masterpiece, but still good. If nothing else, make sure you get a chance to see Fassbender's portrayal! 7/10
