Boring, boring and boring written all over it. The movie is not entirely about Steve Jobs (or at least that was my expectation of it). It is just about three behind-the-scenes events of the three of Steve Jobs' product launches. Thats it. Jobs is just moving from one place to another and his marketing manager (Kate Winslet) is either walking with him or calling out to him that someone or the other is wanting to talk to him or that its time for the product launch. Although these three behind-the-scenes cover most of his life events, I would have rather preferred an in-depth biographical epic of Jobs and his life, maybe like American Made or War Dogs, showing how and why he came up with such unimaginable Apple products, etc. Maybe some more action and events than just talk and talk. There is far too much of unwanted conversation. Like how he wanted his daughter Lisa to go to school. She comes up during many times and sometimes I felt movie was more about her than Steve and his products. Just felt that the screenplay, storyline, editing and direction could have been far better. Matter of fact, this 16-minute Steve's meeting video with Apple Employees is enthralling more than the 2-hour long movie.
