I've seen Ashton Kutcher play Steve Jobs and now Michael Fassbender. Who's next?
Before I begin, I must admit that I missed the first 5 to 10 minutes of the film. (I was running a little late.) And also I fell asleep a couple of times. Not sure if that was because I didn't really like this film or I was tired. Probably both.
I felt that the actors gave a great performance, but I was just over all the fighting that was taking place. This film put Jobs in a bad light, which I heard was true for the most part. He was difficult to work with and had a struggling relationship with his family at the beginning, but this film left out how he changed over time.
I'm more of a "show me, don't tell me" type of person. This film told me too much, and barely showed me anything. It was pretty much Jobs fighting with everyone. And I mean everyone from his assistant to his daughter. There was so much dialogue, I would space out. I started thinking about what I was going to eat for dinner and where I was going to go shopping. Then if you missed a piece of the argument, you seemed to miss the whole thing so I just waited for the next one to begin.
Perhaps I need to rewatch it to love it, but for now 3 popcorns. I expected more. But this film has split reviews. You either love it or hate it. So you never know, you might like it...
