He totally butchers the "not handsome enough to tempt me" line. Not nearly as good as Colin Firth, who is my total favorite. He so far excells the others!

I suppose the winds of change are upon us and it is time for a younger generation of Darcy portrayals to take their place. For me it will always be Colin Firth - the first always makes such a lasting impression.

I know it's not as clearly defined as that and I (counting myself among the older fans) have a greater appreciation for Matthew's portrayal after seeing the 2005 film again.

He brought the character to life just as it's portrayed in the book. I kind of changed my mind a bit when I saw the movie.
