I did not see Steve Jobs

Everyone is praising Michael Fassbender on his amazing acting chops, but in this movie I just saw Fassbender arguing with a lot of people. Every 5 minutes I had to remind myself that he was supposed to be portraying Steve Jobs. The fact that he didn't look like Jobs at all took me out of the movie every time. It might be shallow from my part, but this is why I didn't like the movie. As well as it feeling completely pointless.

If all the fights I ever had with people were crammed into three chapters, you would have a similar movie.

IMDB: where every single user has an awesome signature

This is the worst case of miscasting I've encountered since possibly 'The Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy' back in 2005.

Fassbender as Jobs? What's next? Elijah Wood as Iggy Pop?

I agree. I don't feel like I'm watching a movie about Steve Jobs at all. Fassbender looks nothing like him. They don't even have the hair color right. Terrible choice in casting. At least Ashton Kutcher looked remarkably like the real Jobs.

It reminded me of Jobs. The arrogance and sociopath qualities. If anything this movie was way too nice to Jobs who was a disgusting and horrible human being.

Just finished it and I agree. It seems they took a bunch of vignettes from his later life and strung them together. Who cares about his daughter or Jeff Danels, or Wozniak. All a bunch of repetitive bickering. Arguing with the "Hello" guys? And the poor suffering assistant and the hurry were are starting in x amount of minutes. There was nothing in this film except a film about a bunch of inflated egos that are hardly developed and back and forth recriminations which became monotonous after the first hour.
