They did an incomplete job with "jOBS"

I expected "jOBS" to be a long stretched commercial for Apple, instead of a sketch of the founder of this quirky product. This wasn't entirely true, but it was close. I wonder how much input Jobs himself had in this film. Or was the script drafted without consultation of himself?

jOBS review

A biography of the late Steve Jobs (Ashton Kutcher), the brainchild of Apple. The acting ability of Kutcher fails to make an impression of such an indelible iconic figure. Lacks sufficient background development, the soundtrack was fair and the timelines/events felt rushed. Pirates of SIlicon Valley was way more entertaining and authentic compared to this biography drama. This picture showed more of the business/corporate aspects of the company and people willing to do everything for personal gain but lacks enough history for the figures presented. It had some noteworthy moments and believable sets, if only it showed more depth and entertainment value than showing the negative traits of a genius that made an impact in the technology industry.
