Iron Man 3 Anybody else miss Terrence Howard as Rhodey?

He barely did anything. So no.

If you've never read the comics, what does the movie tell you about him? Nothing.

 

I will answer the question after i see iron man 3 lol.

 

Just watched IM1, he was ok.

 

That they're friendly acquaintances?

There really isn't much there.

 

I think Terrence Howard was a better fit for the role.

 

It didn't matter much to me.

 

Cheadle's fine, Howard was better.

 

Nah.

Is this the new fanboy civil war territory? Star Wars v Star Trek has lost its glamour so now it's Cheadle versus Howard?

 

Surely Wars vs Trek is (or will be) stronger than ever with Abrams crossing the field?

 

I prefer Cheadle.

 

hell no! this hip hop attitude was awful.

 

Nope, I wouldn't even miss Rhodey altogether. Iron Man works bettet alone.

 

Howard was physically bigger than RDJ, hence the impression that he was stronger/ more military type. Other than that, he was bland (too bland for the role). And he had some truly terrible moments, like the "don't bother me untl you have put yourself together" one. THe only scene that was great was him hugging Tony in the desert, and that one was sold mosly by RDJ, not him.

Cheadle is fine. Does not look as "big" as Howard, does not look bad either. Actually, neither movie have managed to flesh Rhodey out, so far. He always comes off as someone who tolerates Tony for the sake of weapons/suits, but I do not see the supposed strong friendship. I have high hopes for IM3, though, looks like they corrected this.

 

Don Cheadle as Rhodey ACTS like an Air Force colonel. He has a strong sense of duty, of patriotism and pride, and decorum and regulation.

Terence Howard as Rhodey acts like a gangsta pimp. His ass would've been dishonorably discharged long before he could've become an officer.

So do I miss Howard? Let's see: nope.

 

I definitely prefer Terrence Howard, I feel like he had much better chemistry with Downey than Cheadle does.

 

"Next time, baby!"
Drinking sake with strippers on Tony's jet. The "fun-vee." "I don't blow on a man's dice." "Oh my god, you crazy son of a *****! You owe me a plane, you know that, right?" "That's the coolest thing I've ever seen." "Just stick to the cards, man."

This is black sidekick shuckin' and jivin', and it's as old as the 60s. Cheadle in IM2 and IM3 acts like a Colonel in the USAF, not Eddie Murphy in 48 Hours.

 

I am long over Howard. It was a bit of surprise back before IM2, but past Avengers and going into IM3, I just don't think about it these days.

 

this exactly!
Howard should have played a highly skilled and trained jet pilot but instead gave his best Chris Tucker impression

 

Or "gangsta hip hop" people either.

 

Honestly? I do. Unfortunately I haven't sensed a whiff of chemistry between Robert and Don like I did with Robert and Howard. Perhaps a different director in Shane Black will be able to bring something out of them that Favs missed, but I doubt it. Because Favs is an actors director through and through and if he couldn't bring out any chemistry in them, who can?
