Ashton was great as Steve Jobs.... this film stacks up pretty well against Pirates Of Silicone Valley, in some respects it's better, Pirates focused on MS and Apple, MS barely gets a look in on the Jobs movie, so for an Apple fan it's hold more interest. Also it covers in detail Jobs' return to Apple.
We all know the facts are skewed to fit within it's running time, but that made it no less enjoyable. The actor they got in to play Ive was bang on the money with his vocals, mannerisms and look, worth watching for that alone. Also the scene where Jobs dismisses Mike Markkula was very poignant and well acted.
The only part of the movie that bothered me was the intro, starting with the iPod launch, was a little too understated and Jobs look older than he should've done, the film would've hit the ground running if they'd opened with the iPhone launch.
I'd recommend this to watch, you don't really need to engage your brain, just enjoy it for what it is.
