2015 may be the year of Steve Jobs in terms of movies. Michael Fassbender is considered an Oscar front-runner in a film directed by Danny Boyle, Academy Award winner for "Slumdog Millionaire". However, there also already was a Steve Jobs biopic done 2 years ago. It has not received favorable reviews as a whole and director Joshua Michael Stern is fairly unknown just like writer Matt Whiteley. The main character is played by Ashton Kutcher here and he got a Razzie performance for his portrayal. I personally believe this was not justified. He did a fairly decent job in portraying the Apple mastermind and you could definitely see Jobs' mannerisms in Kutcher's performance. Also a thumbs-up for the makeup department. Kutcher looks nothing like Jobs, but they made it work.
I believe that, as a whole, this was a movie that did not have really many great moments, but it was solid from start to finish and even at a massive runtime of over 2 hours, there were hardly no segments when the film dragged. This has received a lot of unjust criticism. I personally enjoyed the watch and it also made an informative impact as it tells you a lot about the life and career of Steve Jobs. I myself never worked with an Apple computer, certainly prefer Windows, so it's even more impressive that I got to like this film. Thumbs up. Good job from everybody involved.
