During yesterday's movie JOBS, Steve Jobs. The man who changed the world in Romania, was officially released in US cinemas and the first important reviews have already started to appear. As you can see in the words below, the opinions are divided among the critics, some being pleasantly impressed by certain aspects of the film, others harshly criticizing others. Those who saw the film in the frame for the first time had practically the same reaction Sundance Festival 2013, and in the end you will find people who will recommend you to watch the film and people who will not recommend it.
To be honest, if you are an Apple fan and a fan of his Steve Jobs, then it's worth going to see this movie in the cinema, as well as the one that will be released next year, because both will present the life of the former CEO in a completely different way. Steve Jobs. The man who changed the world will be available next week in cinemas Hollywood Multiplex, and more details you will find here.
Mary Pols, Time.com: "He gives so many inspirational speeches about innovation in Jobs that I was tempted to pull out my laptop and check my email. In between, he's either haranguing some oaf about lack of productivity or firing someone. Do we get a sense of the man's greatness? A bit, but mostly we get a sense of the man's douchebaggery."
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle: "But the main flaw of Jobs is that it limits itself to the ancient history of Jobs' rise and fall and rise at Apple. The movie might begin in 2001, but it never returns to the 21st century. Thus, all the dramatic events of Jobs' last dozen or so years aren't dealt with at all."
Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News: "Like the man it's about, Jobs is thin and unassuming, but keeps surprising you with ideas and innovation. An almost ironically styled old-fashioned biopic, this sharp look at the late Steve Jobs and the technological and cultural changes he brought about is entertaining and smart, with a great, career 2.0 performance from Ashton Kutcher.”
Manohla Dargis, The New York Times: "Fuzzed up and hunched over, Mr. Kutcher looks somewhat like the young Jobs, and there are moments — as when he gives another character a small, devious look as if sliding in a knife — that the casting seems more than a matter of bottom-line calculation. But Mr. Kutcher doesn't have the tools that some actors use to transcend weak material and either he didn't receive any help or didn't allow any real direction from Mr. Stern."
Michael O'Sullivan, The Washington Post: "Although I think I could watch a whole movie called Woz and not grow tired, Jobs eventually begins to suffer from an ailment common to many biopics: milestone fatigue. The film is so thick with Jobs' career highlights and lowlights that there is little room for insights. What made this famously private man tick?"
