Come on. How many people would go see "Steve Jobs Sleeps All Night" or "Steve Jobs Makes a Sandwich for Himself After Watering the Grass"
It's the extraordinary that DRAWS people to movies.
Having said that...I'll wait until it hits Netflix or something..
That's how I feel about Steve. I just don't care to see a movie about him.
Saw it last night.
It was okay. Not bad, but not "OMG AMAZING" like I am hearing from some people.
I left the theater wanting something more out of it...not sure what it was but I don't think it was the lack of a fourth act.

Movie script:
Jobs: [scratches knee]
Jobs: [yawns]
might not be the most scintillating film to watch.
Film is a visual medium.
As the guy playing Jobs looks nothing like him, I have no interest in seeing the film.
Just make a multipart TV documentary series and call it a day.

Really?
I find that hard to believe.
I'm going to see it, but I'm not expecting the "truth". I'm expecting to be entertained. And maybe, if this film is financially successful, it will tempt another studio to release yet another Steve Jobs movie -- one that gets the facts right and also happens to be entertaining. Heck, Jobs' keynotes were entertaining just by themselves!
I'm sure it's an 'entertaining' movie, but why would you want to see a movie that was ficticious in diaglogue and context?
I know it's Hollywood, and artistic licence and all, but from what I've read, many of the events just didn't happen.

I'm glad to see most people seemed to like it who have seen it.
Of course there is the section that will claim the movie pretty much already has opened wide...

Next you're going to tell me the Doctor Who episode with Vincent Van Gogh and that invisible monster didn't actually happen.
One of the things that interests me about this particular biopic is that it seems to do exactly the opposite of what you're talking about. We're not covering Jobs's whole life in two hours, we're covering three brief moments in his life that actually were momentous.
Steve Jobs has been out in limited release for two weeks now, meaning fans in New York, Los Angeles, Toronto and select other locations in the U.S. and Canada […] In total, Steve Jobs will expand from its 60 previous limited release theater locations to 2,411 across the country today.
And, briefly, in Norwich, Norfolk (UK)! Saw it there at ODEON last Sunday - as I'm sure others did at "select other locations" across the UK - when it was shown in sync with the closing night gala screening at the London Film Festival.
The film has a number of excellent performances and is very stage-like in its energy. Would recommend for any fan of cinema in general.
Please. Biography is an interpretation of someone's life. Even if it were just regurgitating facts the people making it have to hand-select the facts they want to regurgitate, to tell the story they want to tell. Otherwise we'd literally be watching the person's life happening in real-time. And what would be the point of that?
Why, Wikipedia even remarks on this:
"Biographical works are usually non-fiction, but fiction can also be used to portray a person's life."
It's not a crime.
Wouldn't you want those 3 important moments to be accurately portrayed?
Many of us here on MR, know too much about Apple/Steve Jobs to be able to let things slide. The general public may leave the theaters believing events and dialogue in the movie, as factual. There's a difference between artistic licence and it never happened.
I just think it's a bit of a disservice to Apple, Jobs and his widow/family. Ideally it would have been great if the movie had Laurene Jobs' approval.
Thats how legends are born, about heroes, titans, leaders.

same here, the apple fanboys here thinks he is God...ya know he didn't really make any of the products, it's all the engineers behind him who created it. To each their own God I guess
I wondered the same, they never go past 1998. Must have something to do with Apple and being sued - not that Apple would do that
We all know that story, so showing it again is really not necessary...what should be more interesting is the events that lead up to the iPHone etc, which is what this movie covers.
Do we know if iTunes will carry this movie? (Did Tim say something about hell and it being cold
Otherwise I guess I can wait for a year until Netflix picks it up.
You can bet that it will be on iTunes.
