NAYRT--yeah, I'm not even a fan of Darcy because he's an ass to start with, and I'm not a huge P&P fan, but the 2005 version feels like it kind of ... woobifies Darcy? And even though I'm not his biggest fan, it takes away from how much he changed over the course of the story if his progression is no more complicated than Lies About Feelings because Shy and Awkward-->Shares Feelings, Becomes Romantic Hero.

The book and '95 version are more Loudly Airs Judgey Snobbery--Doubles Down--Realizes He Has One Foot in His Mouth and the Other Up His Ass--Bungles Feelings Confession He's New At This But Yikes--Removes Feet From Orifices-->Admits He Was Wrong. He has a real character arc instead of taking a bunch of shortcuts.

DA - I think this is true of both Elizabeth and Darcy in the book. They both have personality flaws that are much more distinct and apparent in the book. I mean, I feel like JA's most outstanding strength as a writer was her almost innate understanding of how different personalities function. All of her characters are distinct, and all of her characters make sense. The way they behave and think feels cohesive, like, OMG, I totally know people like this!

The Lizzy and Darcy of the 2005 movie definitely have personalities, but they're much less distinct and cohesive than the characters in the book. They're a bit more general.

(That said, I still prefer the 2005 movie, it's a beautiful, delicious joy of a movie that I will love for all eternity.)

This exactly. I don't like the 2005 version of Darcy. It changes him and his motivations significantly and he's not the same character at all.
