Jobs is one of my idols so for me when I became immensely excited to view the Kutcher film, the Boyle/Sorkin work and the CNN documentary.

I got, to be honest, and say I feel all 3 had their strong points, but I gotta say all 3 were failures. The Kutcher film did a great job of capturing Jobs' free spirit but as a film just wasn't well constructed and was a bit clumsy at times, but it def deserves better than the 27% that it has on Rotten Tomatoes.

The Sorkin/Boyle film did a great job capturing the essence of Jobs I agree with you but besides that I feel it was also very poorly crafted and I get they tried to show it in like 3 important days, but coming into that movie I couldn't help but feel disappointed that hey tried to capture Jobs' life in 3 important days... it just was too contrived and too forced for me to feel it was a film that someone as unique and special as Jobs justice.

The Man Behind the Machine, did a great job of covering all of Jobs' career which the other 2 did not do, and since it was a documentary had more liberty and access to use certain footage, etc. I feel it sorta glanced over Jobs' mishaps and fall-out which the other 2 films did not, and instead focused a lot on Jobs' late mishaps on trying to prevent leaks of the iPhone, etc. The documentary was the best of the 3 in my opinion, but still lacked.

None of the 3 discussed the Windows bail out, and antitrust settlement that really helped Apple, and I understand the reasoning behind avoiding that, but as a huge supporter of Jobs, I couldn't help but feel disappointed to an extent by all 3.

I'm glad to hear the book was good, I'll have to give it a read. Good work though overall, glad you delved into Jobs!
