This is not a bio-pic in the traditional sense. The acting is great, but the Kutcher movie was much better in my opinion.

"How come 10 times a day I read Steve Jobs is a genius? What do you do?" Steve Jobs (Fassbender) has a brilliant technological mind. He wants to put a computer in every home and every school and make it easy for everyone to use. From the introduction of the Mac in 1984 to the iMAC in 1998 he was at the forefront of every great technological advancement, and failure. As great of a computer man as he was he seemed to fail at every other aspect of his life. I know Steve Jobs was a genius, but I wondered why there needed to be two movies about him made. The Ashton Kutcher one did a great job of chronicling his life, making it interesting and finding out what made him how he was. This one does not do any of that. The movie follows Steve at three different product launches. The movie goes back and forth between showing what a horrible father he was, and what a horrible "friend" he was. This is not a bio-pic in the traditional sense. The acting is great, but I all I got from this movie is that he was a very egotistical and stubborn man who never found good in others. I'm not sure if that is true or not, but if it is there certainly shouldn't have been a movie made about him, let alone two. Overall, good acting but the Kutcher movie was much better in my opinion. I give this a disappointing B-.
