#4I haven't seen it, but I hope they show in the end that it is just not important to be a successful entrepreneur, but a good human being as well, which Steve Jobs failed miserably at.

#6I was surprised by the technical accuracy (ha, what do I know?) and so I feel much better about recommending it to people who show interest.
There were parts that I enjoyed more than Pirates of Silicon valley, but also times when it felt long. Music was used to okay effect, but also drawn out.
Movie Spoiler: There is no recent history portrayed in the film.
Edit: A couple more thoughts. Contrary to the inaccuracies between Jobs and Wozniak mentioned above (and as noted in the linked article) the movie did accurately give Wozniak credit for doing the engineering on Breakout (and getting shortchanged in the process) which I felt was important.
The movie only really covers Jobs at Apple, a bit of University and family, so if you are interested in NeXT/Pixar/etc. you may be disappointed.

#9Did anyone see an early or midnight showing on here? As I would love to hear your reviews, bc right now, RottenTomatoes has this movie at a 25% rating
Jack London in Oakland had about 30 people in attendance at the 9pm premiere.

#10Are we going to have a movie about Norman Borlaug, Dennis Richie or Douglas Engelbart as well? What made the movie industry pick Jobs as the topic? I honestly don't understand it.
