Watched the Ashton Kutcher as Steve Jobs film last night on Netflix. It paralleled the Walter Isaacson biography closely, yet cut too quickly away from several scenes, and just skipped a lot of stuff that would have made the film better, if a bit longer. My wife had not read the book, and she enjoyed the film.

We both felt like Kutcher actually did a good job portraying Jobs. I just wish they found a way to tell more of the story, so much felt like it was skimming the surface, and assuming knowledge. His story - as one of the greatest visionaries of our time - is worth telling. I am not sure this film did it. I'd give it a 6 out of 10.

I think this would have been much better suited as a tv mini-series.

Yeh, al lot was skimmer over. I don't recall Pixar even being mentioned.
