All he really said was that it reminded him of the Sniper movie from Inglorious Basterds... that's not a knock on America, just an observation.
If the movie is good, I don't think anyone will care that Fassbender doesn't look like Steve Jobs. Jesse Eisenberg looks nothing like Zuckerberg, yet a few minutes into the The Social Network, the audience forgot about that and got caught up in the story and enjoyed what turned out to be a very entertaining movie.
lol - no... fassbender looks nothing like jobs. eisenberg looks 90% identical to zuck. i mean, objectively, there's no comparison.
Stole the words out of my mouth. I actually the look of Auston K but everything else was dumb about the last movie. This movie is already a failure if you can't get the look right. Seth look correct.
That's true enough, but then again, Fassbender won't have to portray Steve as some guy during his college years. I think we can all agree that Steve's persona was quite extravagant and rather than pursuing a geeky look, Fassbender should focus on what effect Jobs' words and actions had on people and I'm hoping he can pull it off, granted that the writing is good.

Personally, I can't say it was that much of a resemblance. Sure, some basic similarities, but that's about it.
Anyway, as someone pointed out earlier, acting is a more powerful thing than just appearance. I would much rather see a movie about Steve with a good script and a performance to match, than a Kutcher-type movie, where he looked very similar to Jobs, but the overall result was pretty meh.
You obviously haven't seen a film called "Hunger" (directed by Steve McQueen). And check out "A Dangerous Method". And "Shame". And...oh nevermind. It's not about looking-like, it's about portraying a character. Fassbender is a great actor.

Did they actually say: "Marlon Brando didn't look like Vito Corleone." Hahahahaha
I disagree. I think on some level there are certain similarities.

The Kutcher film was entertaining and nowhere near as bad as peeps on here would have you believe. Looking forward to this, with an open mind...
Why not? Cate Blanchett was a great Bob Dylan!I think Meryl Streep should have played Jobs. She really disappears into every role.
In any case, I bet Fassbender'll pull this off.
So everyone moans about the jobs movie but kutcher looked like jobs. So now everyone going to moan bcos fassbender doesn't look like jobs but will prob be a good movie. You guys are tough to please.

What about Leonardo DiCaprio as Howard Hughes? He looked NOTHING like Howard Hughes, even less than Fassbender looks like jobs.
Didn't effect my enjoyment of the movie, though.
if you're over the age of 6, you probably know EXACTLY what steve jobs looks like. these comparisons to actors who didn't look like [x] subject (from decades and decades ago) are entirely missing the point.
