You won't know more of him after that !

Rating: 4/10 (17 April 2016)

"Steve Jobs", by director Danny Boyle and released in 2015, can be proud of being the first biopic ever made about the life of so famous a man. However, it suffers from cruel flaws, not about technique - what Boyle masters - but from a weak plot and from an important off- topic.
The plot focuses on Steve Jobs's life, which is expected indeed, but also on his management methods that were known for being tyrannical. The discreet original soundtrack participates in making both climaxes in the film more powerful. What's more, the subject chosen, Steve Jobs himself, is quite a good one. This man - yet he was not a hero properly speaking - was an icon in the computer world anyway : his sense of leadership, his eye for detail and his talent for "orchestrating" his team's capacities and skills made Apple's products the most-bought ones nowadays, among a wide range of other brands and in a world of fierce competition.
Nevertheless, this film's biggest mistake is to only focus on a very short part of his life, cut into two, separated by a huge gap in between. We don't actually see him orchestrate his team, the process that gives birth to the MacIntosh, etc, his fall from grace in the 1980's, the difficulties he had to cope with... Moreover, both climaxes, that correspond to the two main computers released, are spoiled by a disappointing next... which doesn't really exist. The film ends brutally, with the very classic morale that can't catch up with the boring plot of the film.
To sum up, I would rather not recommend "Steve Jobs" to you. Even fans of Jobs or his brand would surely be disappointed. In other words, it is far from being a must-see ! So then : 4/10 !
