Był ekscentrykiem, buntownikiem, czasem szaleńcem. Zawsze uważał, że wie lepiej i zwykle się nie mylił. Od początku wiedział czego chce i potrafił o to walczyć. Był niełatwym partnerem w biznesie i w życiu. Potrafił uszczęśliwiać, ale także okrutnie ranić najbliższych. Założył firmę w garażu, by po kilku latach wprowadzić ją na giełdę i stać się milionerem. Wkrótce stracił jednak nad nią kontrolę i został usunięty z Apple. Jego charyzma działała nie tylko na inwestorów, ale także na kobiety. Potrafił je uwodzić, ale czy uszczęśliwiać? Nawet w sytuacji, która innym wydawałaby się bez wyjścia, znalazł siłę, by po raz kolejny wspiąć się na szczyt, odzyskać Apple i zmienić kulejącą firmę w światową potęgę. Przeciwności losu zmieniły go jako człowieka, ale nie jako wizjonera. Dlatego to właśnie on przyniósł światu iPhone, iPod i iPad… (Monolith)

Jobs was an incredible hard worker and visionary with a strong and inspirational character, regardless of how well the film is managed. In my opinion, it was maybe a bit short and sometimes too humorously presented. I would expect much more compelling plot twists in building the company, more psychology and moral dilemmas in the pursuit of fame that every successful entrepreneur has to overcome and solve, sacrificing something for something. Unfortunately, we don't get that completely here. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the movie, or rather, Ashton Kutcher's portrayal of Steve Jobs entertained me, he really tried hard. In some scenes, I could literally feel his frustration through the screen and most importantly, I understood him.

jOBS is a commercially successful film, and I get it. Ashton Kutcher is a big name in Hollywood. But if you really, really want to know about Apple, go watch Pirates of Silicon Valley instead. It’s more objective, and in my opinion, feels more genuine and real. This movie is just too Hollywood—it doesn’t offer much new info compared to the other film, but it does present the story from a glossier, more dramatized perspective. Which isn’t all bad, because you still get a sense that Steve Jobs wasn’t exactly a saint. Both films agree on that. But jOBS softens it, making him seem like a good guy in the end... Classic Hollywood, right?

Actors are similar to their prototypes, which I appreciate. Michael Bay coughed up some resemblance in his "Sweat and Blood". However, it's not just about resemblance, but also about how they handled their roles. They took them on with skill and in essence, no one here ruins the whole movie from the characters' perspective. Ashton Kutcher doesn't stand out as much as other stars in the main roles of biographies, but that's good. Even Steve Jobs' life was about other people. Ashton sometimes exaggerates, but that's somehow part of him. Otherwise, he really tried and it shows. If he doesn't play in every garbage that brings him money, maybe he could still show the world that he is a capable actor. I'm quite curious about that. Otherwise, "jOBS" doesn't dazzle, but it's also not the flop I expected. More: http://www.filmovy-denik.cz/2013/09/jobs-2013-60.html

The events of the story are engaging and interesting, but unfortunately the film is completely brought to its knees by one major problem: Ashton Kutcher's lacklustre and dull performance; he simply can’t handle drama. I don’t know how Jobs was in real life, but I’m very sure he wasn’t a cold fish with the same set expression and slight smile. What's more, the film doesn't make it so clear what Jobs struggled with most – himself, his almost morbid perfectionism and uncompromising egotism, where he was willing to go over dead bodies – but in Kutcher’s interpretation he looks more like a puppy who occasionally barks and bares its teeth. All those casually thrown situations don’t really explain what Jobs’s greatness was. Better read Walter Isaacson's book, it is infinitely more engaging and dramatic.

After its cool reception in the US, I found this movie a pleasant surprise. It does not deal with Jobs’ private life, but with
his role in Apple’s establishment and the first phase of the company’s existence. It delves into his personal life only
marginally, for a quick outline of his character by showing his approach to unexpected life events (which he did not
address in an exactly typical manner). The main focus of the narrative is his approach to professional events: his
passion for his work and adamant belief in his vision. This, along with the profound ideas he continually expresses,
makes this film inspiring and energetic; something that can give you a nudge in the right direction. Plus, it shows “how it
really happened”, which will be relatable to all ambitious garage-based startup founders, who also struggle with their
creativity being misunderstood by profit-seeking investors. Jobs is a pleasant and useful little film on the level of the “TVlike”
Hitchcock, but of course it’s not as good as The Social Network, which is more refined in its screenplay and
direction. Ashton Kutcher’s good. The fourth star in my rating is purely personal – I understood his every decision, urge
and move, and even the glass table in his office was similar to mine. :-)
