Armageddon and Deep Impact came out in July and May of 1998. 3 months.

Frankly I thought the same until I saw it. Two sides of a coin and completely different movies. The Ashton Kutcher one told a loving tale of the man's life, painting him as a hero. This movie is not about his life, if anything it's about his character (in a negative way), and a story of the minutes before each of three announcements that each represented the culmination of years of development of what is essentially the same product. The first two were miserable failures that lead to the near bankruptcy of a company, the last finally a success that catapulted it to the top. In the meantime it painted him as a complete dick that nobody liked but everyone worshipped because he was the face of the movement. In a way it tried to show his redeeming factors behind the façade that nobody liked, but really it just showed him as a complete ---uvula--- who shoved a product down the public's throat that they never even wanted, all so he could say "See, I told you that you needed it."

If this movie came out at the same time as the other one, then the Armageddon/Deep Impact analogy would hold a little water since they share the same main character. I would say a closer analogy would be Basketball Diaries vs Bowling for Columbine..

Sure, Sure, but they weren't accompanied by two made for tv movies about asteroids, an independent film about asteroids and an upcoming film about yet another take on asteroids slated to be released in a few more months. Seriously Steve Jobs just isn't that interesting, or at least to me he isn't.

lol, but then the asteroid wasn't the hero that millions worshipped as the closest thing to God. As an anti-Apple guy I never really got the obsession with the guy, but to many his name is reverent. These, of course, are the same people who will defend their Apple lifestyles to the death and line up three days in advance to get the next untested product.

I honestly think the negative reviews about the latest Jobs movie are because they paint him in a negative light. Sacrilege to many...

pbj:
Deep Impact is actually a pretty good movie. I do have to laugh when Frito outruns the tidal wave by going up the side of a small hill on his dirt bike, leaving his parents to drown 100 feet away, but I think it holds up decently.

Armageddon was bad when it came out.
