Who Was The Better Mr. Darcy — Colin Firth or Matthew MacFadyen???
Colin firth all the way with Matthew Rhys as a comfortable second! I love the aesthetics of the 2005 and MacFadyen is great but his Darcy plays out as being shy rather than proud. Also, I think Colin firth really managed to balance out the brooding with some subtle smiles! Plus the 1995 series really captures the wry humour which for me is really the highlight of Austen’s novel. More on reddit.com

January 19, 2025I didn't like Colin Firth as Mr Darcy, please let me explain why.
Socially awkward Darcy is Macfadyen's addition to the P&P canon, and it really stuck. Before then, I don't think it would have been possible to make the case that Darcy doesn't know how to people. He's perfectly knowledgeable of social boundaries and niceties... he simply cannot be bothered to perform them for people he considers his inferiors. He excels at them when he does, and everyone whom he does not held in contempt perceives him as nice and charming and praiseworthy (if a bit rough around the edges.) His unpleasantness, when shown, is perfectly intentional. This is why Pemberley is a more significant turn in 1995 and the book - him being nice to the Gardiners shows a greater change of heart. It's his pride, not his awkwardness, getting in the way. Firth played him as such. I certainly agree with how Macfadyen's version is a more ideal romantic hero - that is the Darcy I'd prefer to marry, for sure. But it's a far more liberal interpretation than Firth's, who pretty much played Darcy by the book. More on reddit.com

Colin Firth or Matthew Macfadyen? There Should Be Room in Pride & Prejudice Fans’ Hearts For Both Mr. Darcys
November 15, 2025 - His performance was so iconic, in fact, that it helped make him a star — and he sort of reprised his role in the Bridget Jones’ Diary series, where his character Mark Darcy was based on his portrayal of Darcy in the miniseries.

r/PrideandPrejudice on Reddit: Who Was The Better Mr. Darcy — Colin Firth or Matthew MacFadyen???
July 22, 2023 -
I’m sure this has been debated here before, so please be patient with me...
I’m torn.
Colin Firth was an amazing dark, brooding Darcy. Firth is the master of the barely perceptible smile that takes him from standoffish to extraordinarily handsome and approachable. And I know the BBC version is far more accurate. And well Firth soaking wet from diving into the water…quite quite lovely.
But MacFadyen was a much more passionate, vulnerable Darcy that I adored. I mean, “I love you…most ardently.” And later still, “I love…I love…I love you.” Which I fear Jane Austen never wrote.
So I’m leaning towards MacFadyen. I will admit, however, I’ve seen the movie a bazillion times and just binged the BBC series for the first time.
Someone here suggested, you fall in love with the first version you’ve ever seen. And I have to say, the sweeping music…Darcy striding across the field at sunrise…his passionate declarations…pretty much did me in.
I think it’s MacFadyen for me.
Please don’t kill me or criticize me too harshly. I fear - I KNOW - I haven’t been the Jane Austen purist that I should be…
I’m actually afraid to hit “Post”!

Colin. MacFayden has 0 pride. Darcy wasn't shy sad missunderstood boy. He was arogant man, Who though himself better than others becouse of his position in society. Also I don't see him as romantic tbh. The confession in rain and walk in the dawn seems ridiculus for me. Like Twilight level of ridiculous. For me the most romantic scene was when Lizzy was telling about Lydia in 1995. The way he took her hand and let go becouse it would be highly inappropriate to hold. The way he REACTED when she was crying. Also MacFayden probably gets lower score for me becouse the movie just ignore manners of 18/19 century and I can't help but notice. For example when Elizabeth was introduced to Georgiana. Georgiana just ran ahead and he just shouted the introduction when walking three steps away....

I was a little afraid it wouldn’t be first rate and (blasphemy!) wasn’t sold on Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy as I remembered him mostly from the 1984 TV adaptation of Camille and wasn’t blown away by him.

Is Colin Firth the best on-screen Mr. Darcy? - Quora
Colin Firth is also by far the most popular on-screen Darcy, for good reason. He was suitably tall, dark, handsome, and aloof, and had the good fortune to be cast in the finest adaptation of Pride and Prejudice that will ever be produced.
