One has the distinct feeling that Jobs himself would have been particularly unimpressed with Jobs the movie.

| Original Score: 2.5/4.0 | Sep 12, 2020

A Steve Jobs biopic steeped in the mediocrity its subject despised.

| Aug 28, 2019

The film's major moving parts are damaged, effectively crashing the machine. Send this one back to the factory.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Apr 15, 2019

It's just passable, which would not have passed Jobs' own standards.

| Jan 26, 2019

This dichotomy between what the film insists is Jobs at his best, and what we the audience see as Jobs at his arguable worst undermines the overall message and what we are supposed to take away from the movie.

| Dec 14, 2018

So impressed with its subject that it leaves precious little time to explore the imperfect man behind the icon.

| Aug 21, 2018

Jobs presents a fascinating story of how Jobs overcomes corporate backbiting and channels his own tendency toward obsession to build arguably the most innovative company of the last decade.

| Apr 17, 2018

One might expect Jobs, a biopic of Steve Jobs, to canonize the Apple computer magnate who was only 56 when he died in 2011. But it's a lot more fun than that.

| Original Score: B | Nov 29, 2017

Those more familiar with this remarkable figure will find the film lacks the depth and complexity of the real Jobs.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 8, 2017

Too often the audience is taken out of the scene with thoughts of" Hey, isn't that Ashton Kutcher?" simply because the portrayal comes off too contrived.

| Original Score: D- | Sep 6, 2017

While entertaining, the film doesn't achieve the ultimate goal of Steve Jobs' work: to make the things that matter beautiful and to find beauty in the small moments.

| Original Score: C | Jun 28, 2016

The opening scene of Jobs, the feeble biopic of the iconic Apple founder, is the one that keeps recurring throughout the film, with varying degrees of hagiographical worship, which is never less than lofty.

| May 10, 2016

It's just insightful enough, albeit briefly, to be worth your time.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 14, 2016

The critics screwed up on this. It is a much better film than its rating here. Take that from someone who worked in IT for 44 years and who knows the difference between "fresh" and "rotten".

| Aug 28, 2015

The movie is littered with small details of lore that should make Apple fanatics happy.

| Jan 22, 2014

A noble but unworthy effort that will likely disappoint viewers looking for a thoughtful look into the technological genius.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Dec 23, 2013

Matt Whiteley's clumsy script attempts to sync Jobs' personal story with the corporate history of his brand but as any affirmed Android/PC users will gladly tell you, syncing with Apple can be problematic at the best of times.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Dec 17, 2013

This movie would be exponentially better if it were called Twenty-Something Jobs or Jobs, Woz And The First 2 Apples.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Oct 3, 2013

Ashton Kutcher does a very fine job as Jobs, portraying him less as a technological wizard and more as a business visionary who realised his out-of-the-box ideas by surrounding himself with people who were admittedly more talented than he was.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Sep 29, 2013

Ashton Kutcher IS Steve Jobs. You have to give Kutcher credit: He studied his character. That he successfully completed his homework is evidenced in 'Jobs,' a biopic of Apple Inc.'s late genius.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 28, 2013
