The film didn't go down well with Wozniak, who said, "a lot of what was wrong with the film came from Ashton's own image of Jobs". 

Th tech innovator added, "I thought the acting throughout was good. I was attentive and entertained but not greatly enough to recommend the movie."

Wozniak also addressed Kutcher's recent claim that he was being paid to criticize Jobs, calling his statements "disingenuous and wrong", reported Huffington Post.

"These are examples of Ashton still being in character. I was turned off by the Jobs script. But I still hoped for a great movie."
