Ashton ok, the rest was just meh!!!
Ashton Kutcher's performance and betrayal of Steve Jobs was good, he had his walk down like he was walking with his knees not his legs. If any of you remember when the first Playstation came out there was game that came with it called Abe's Odysey, Abe was an alien type creature who had a walk very similar to Steve Jobs maybe they took inspiration from Jobs for the game. Ashton did well to be fair with his mannerisms, voice mannerisms even sounded like him at times with the shots that were filmed from a distance you could mistake Ashton for the real Steve Jobs.
That was probably the only decent part of the film. Reading about it, it sounds like the film only really covered the basics of what went on during those early years of Steve Jobs and Apple. Obviously i wasn't present in these times i wasn't even born till the first Macintosh was launched, which seems crazy because personal computers wasn't even a thing or on my radar until i was 8 years old seeing one in school in first year of junior school was just a curiosity we was like Monkeys with sticks prodding it waiting to see what it'll do. So for me Steve Jobs was way ahead of his time and his innovative ways. I guess the film dabbled in that in ways showed Steve's drive and ambition, his passion for high standards in his products but the story was lacking all that, all that what Steve believed in. Seemed half arsed to be honest. They didn't have to make stories up or dramatise events, if they just delved a little deeper i think they would of found a story which would of been powerful and honest. Shame really with all the great actors they had on board this film could of been something special, opportunity lost i think. Just a glazed over look a passing glance of the life of Steve Jobs if they looked a little deeper in Steve's eyes this product too could of been something.
