He was the weakest link in IM2. IMO.

I still felt he was an improvement over Howard.

the WM suit from IM2 looked way better imo and I agree, don't like Cheadle as WM either, but it never stopped me from loving IM2.

I felt Howard and RDJ had much better chemistry, and were funner to watch.

Oh he was the least of IM2s problems

Fair enough.

I'm just not a fan of Howard. I think Cheadle is a much better actor overall. And I didn't feel like it was chemistry that RDJ and Cheadle lacked--but rather--it was weak characterization coupled with the introduction of a new actor playing an previously established character.

Cheadle is otherwise a much better actor I agree, but I felt Howard was a much better fit for the role and played it brilliantly in Iron Man

I'll have to respectfully disagree with you. I thought the little segment they had aboard Tony's aircraft was a bit corny and forced. I don't know, I realize I'm in a small minority, but I much prefer Cheadle over Howard.

Cheadle is a better actor, but his character lacked what Howard brought in the first one. Along with some bad writing, and even worse delivery of that writing from Cheadle.

Fair enough. Respectfully disagreed then.

Care to give some examples? What exactly made Howard more valuable--or rather--more interesting than Cheadle? It's not like Howard was even an essential ingredient to the success of the first film. He shared what, maybe one or two significant sequences with Tony? I don't know, I just don't get the infatuation with the guy. While I do dislike re-casting, mainly for the sake of continuity purposes, I feel Cheadle makes a much better Rhodes.

Cheadle was alright. I do think Howard worked a bit better with Downey but as a whole the movie was still pretty damn fun.

That would have been Tony's arrogant douchy behaviour. He wasn't likable in IM2 and that turned me off the character. hopefully in this he won't be a cocky pr*ck

I prefer Cheadle over Howard as well. I hope we get a full headsculpt of him this time around.

I thought that was the whole point... he wasn't meant to be likeable.
but redeems himself at the end.

Seems it hasn't been mentioned here but....on the IM facebook:

"Iron Man
Check out this new poster for Marvel’s Iron Man 3 featuring the Iron Patriot!"

Yeah....

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

He's not the real Iron Patriot
