Looks good... But I just can't get over the way he looks and sounds... Also, Seth Rogen's voice at the beginning... I don't know... I'm use to hearing that voice in comedies so it felt out of place.
Having just finished the book Becoming Steve Jobs, this trailer really rubbed me the wrong way. And Fassbender is much more physically imposing presence than Steve was. I know he wasn't the filmmaker's first choice, and I can see why.
Would you rather have someone who looks like Steve Jobs but can't act or someone who can act that doesn't look like Steve Jobs.
It's a movie, I can suspend disbelief while watching while you're up in front of the screen shouting that Fassbender is a big phony.
I'll be making choice c. "watching for entertainment."
who the f*** has descided to do this movie without ashton kutcher as steve. sorry but this is just ridiculous. stopped watching after 30 sec.
I will admit Ashton got the looks down pack. But Fassbender is a very good actor. We will see how this turns out. I liked the movie Jobs with Ashton in it though despite mixed reviews.
I find movies about him to be unnecessary. What other modern public figure has two movies released about them and two biographies? I can't think of any. Just too much. We all know he was a cruel jerk who would show his soft side from time to time as he got older.
I for one would rather have a movie that tells a good story, than an actor that wants to look and emulate SJ exactly. I think Aston Kutcher spent way too much time trying to get the odd gate down than portraying the tortured genius that was SJ.
However this trailer doesn't really tell me if the movie will be good.

If you've seen one Boyle film and watch this trailer, you know it's gonna be a winner!!!
So what? If he was tiny and fat with a mustache, that would be horrible. But this?
Michelle Willians did the best Marilyn Monroe ever and she was like 50% of her looks. The movie turned out to be the best one about Marilyn.
Good actors can do it.
This didn't do it for me, the other trailer did but I got more turned off as I watched it, hopefully it's better when seen in full.
A good movie tells a story in a compelling fashion. Sorkin is a very successful producer. The actors are skilled. The story will be told right. At some point you have to suspend some disbelief. It is a movie.
Huh? Department as in "unspecified entity in charge of slapping some canned music on this trailer, or lifting excerpts from the soundtrack should one exist at this point". Are you wondering whether I think there's a separate wing of a building somewhere with an actual department of 540 people who made a collective effort to put it there? I hope not.
Yeah, they could've picked a better actor or made him look more like Jobs. Aston looked much closer even though the movie was eh
Oh my, let's be real here. It looks like garbage. Actors appear nothing like the people they are portraying. Ever....single....line of dialog is coming across very stale and forced. This movie looks to be the Star Wars's Phantom Menace twin. Full of wooden performances all trying to cash in on the "Apple fanboy-ism's" taking place currently in our society. I'd even go as far as saying that all the people saying "this movie looks great!" are from the Apple Watch forum.
This thing is devoid of any warmth. Perhaps now is not the time. Perhaps we need to exhaust all the current film offerings, and sleep on it. One day, with the reflection and the passing of some years, someone will come up with the better biopic for SJ that everyone will remember as the one. This isn't it.
"The interface was stolen..."
Bit it wasn't stolen, it was part of a deal where Xerox got a boatload of Apple IPO stock at preferential prices in exchange for letting Jobs et al use anything from PARC that looked good to them.
Why is this fact continually misrepresented?
If I were the head of Apple legal, I would be sending a nice letter to the studio to challenge the use of this mischaracterization.

Following an initial teaser earlier in May, Universal today released the first official full-length trailer for the upcoming Steve Jobs movie.
The two-and-a-half minute trailer provides the longest look at the Danny Boyle-directed biopic that anyone has seen yet, balancing focus between Steve Jobs' various behind-the-scenes product launches and his intense personal life regarding his relationship with daughter Lisa Brennan-Jobs.
The trailer also gives more in-depth looks at Jeff Daniels and Kate Winslet, especially, as John Sculley and Joanna Hoffman, with various through-the-years glimpses of Michael Fassbender as Steve Jobs. After various casting calls and set photo leaks earlier in the year, excitement around the somewhat troubled film has only been steadily building. Fans can expect to see the full movie in theaters October 9.
