It's a film whose plea to the audience resembles Jobs' appeal to the crowd in that iPod-unveiling scene: "Believe this is important and exciting," it asks, "because I say so."

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
The irony is that a man who treasured innovation and sleek, stylish design should be the subject of a film that's so bland and bloated.
Other than people who are mildly curious about the guy who put the smartphone in their pocket and the tablet computer in their knapsack, I'm not sure who "Jobs" was made for.
Jobs is the equivalent of a feature-length slow clap.
A missed opportunity.
