A well put together film, but a bit over the top in sharp dialogue

Rating: 8/10 (16 August 2017)

A well done movie, but frankly one that often left me cold. So focused on rapid-fire smart-tongued speech. Sure, every character in this movie is able to lash others with their sharp tongues, but the rapid-fire dialogue gets tiresome fairly fast. Does everything really have to be such a battle of wits, personalities, and egos? Seems to be so in this film. Also, I must say that Jobs came off as profoundly narcissistic, so much more so than I had anticipated. Not sure if this is true to the actual Steve Jobs, but if so, I must say I lost a lot of respect for Steve Jobs after having seen this movie. Surprises me that he is hero-worshiped by so many, if indeed he has such a selfish and narrow-minded personality.
That said, the acting by Michael Fassbender is excellent, as is Kate Winslet as his assistant, and just a generally fine job by the whole cast. And the cinematography and flow of the movie is well done. Just in many ways it also left me cold.
