There are significant reasons to be optimistic about Steve Jobs: Michael Fassbender is a chameleon, Danny Boyle actually gets better with every film he releases (usually, that would be the kind of empty hyperbole I'd scoff at, but not for him) and the subject matter is utterly compelling. Unfortunately though, the film has to do more than just be a great film: it also has to absolutely smash the other Steve Jobs film out of the water. Every aspect - including Fassbender's portrayal of the man (the most challenging thing to beat) - has to be better to justify its existence. And there will probably be a lot of people rooting for its success, after Joshua Michael Stern's effort was widely written off as revisionist sycophancy. Best Guess Answer Undoubtedly. Jobs was no more than an excellent caricature picture thanks to Ashton Kutcher's spookily accurate performance, aimed solely at Apple acolytes who wanted to see their hero mythologised. Danny Boyle's vision is set to be more realistic, more balanced and more entertaining: so plus points on all fronts. Whether it will be better than Funny Or Die's uproarious iSteve remains to be seen. Probably not though.
