Loved it

Rating: 10/10 (8 May 2001)

Colin Firth as Darcy Part Two made this movie for me. He was great! I have a feeling that there are a lot of people who haven't seen the BBC "Pride and Prejudice" in which he starred as Jane Austen's Darcy and who therefore don't "get it." Some of those people might think that he comes across as cardboard, inanimate, and even humorless. However, Firth makes Darcy so subtle, so just completely as much the off-center character that Austen intended that it's possible to miss how great he is. Firth is Darcy and he is perfect. He is full of humor, unseen strength, and, above all, amazing sex appeal. If you didn't see it in him the first time, watch Bridget Jones's Diary again (a great flick - Hugh Grant is totally on target), re-read Austen's Pride and Prejudice, and just look into those brown eyes of Firth's. It's all there.
